I was going to do a step-by-step on this frame, but deleted the initial photos, anyway it is very simple to do. The frame was gessoed, then given a coat of quick drying acrylic primer undercoat. The outer raised edge and sides were painted in a dark grey (2 coats), then the scoop section was painted off white (2 coats), then a light grey was watered down a little and quickly brushed on and wiped off. Next the scoop was given a light distressing with 800 and 400 paper, and finally it was finished with Renaissance wax.
