1. Clean glass thoroughly with soap and water and allow to dry. Apply etching medium with stencil brush in a bouncing or stippling technique (figure A). Coat entire outside of the glass globe with the etching medium. As it dries, a frosted finish will appear. Let dry completely.

1. Create a dark burgundy mixture of 60 percent Burgundy plus 40 percent Burnt Umber. Set most of this mixture aside for the dark color of the roses. Create a medium value pink of Titanium White plus dark burgundy mixture. The rose is developed with a series of brush strokes with a double-loaded brush. Stroke on half of a 4 12 flat brush in medium pink and then the other half into dark pink (figure B). Blend on the palette to soften the colors on the brush.
