The next step I took was layering different shades of metallic gold acrylic paints. It added a really interesting aged look between the different shades and the black base coat. As I layered the paint using a sponge brush I noticed that after a while there was already a metallic sheen to the crown, it was very exciting as I was seeing the tutorial paying off. I took a break and allowed those layers of paint to dry. While I waited for that to dry, I decided to test out different glossy finishing acrylic paints on my little plastic bottle.
