	Step 1: Use white glue to draw a design on a sheet of Grafix Chipboard.
	Step 2: Sprinkle black Sargent Art Gothic Powder Paint on top of the glue drawing.
	Step 3: Tap chipboard to remove extra powder paint so that the design can be seen clearly (background may have smudges and be gray in color; this will add visual interest).
	Step 4: When glue is dry, mix individual colors of powder paint in separate bowls or cups. Add a small amount of water to each bowl to create an impasto paste. Use a palette knife to add the colors to your painting.
