This week in the Paint Palette studio, I shared with my workshop students a lovely lilacs design that I had put onto an mdf watering can cutout.  <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This cutout started life in a shop, covered in paint with some text on it…you don’t have to buy blanks ready for decorating but can use cheap ones available often in supermarkets that you just need to sand right back to the original wood and away you go!<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
