But, if you want a brown base to show through, then you would want to put a wash of raw sienna acrylic with water over all of the boards first. Otherwise, just go with the teal and cream. Here are some other ideas for the same type of paint technique. http://lakegirlpaints.blogspot.com/2012/07/drab-to-fab-in-one-weekend.html http://lakegirlpaints.blogspot.com/2012/06/sand-and-shells-dresser.html http://lakegirlpaints.blogspot.com/2013/04/bright-striped-side-table.html
