Moving along.....
I went with female stencils for this next part. Just randomly tape it on and cover the rest to avoid overspray.
I did not like how it was coming out so, plan "B".
Take a bowl, sea sponge, and a foam brush. Spray the paint in the bowl (FYI, foam bowls will melt, just saying) and dip the sponge lightly into the paint. Then lightly "tap" the paint onto random areas to apply a "Splattered" look. Do as much as you want or just go light, it's up to you. I went a little heavy on one side but, the next color will fix that mistake.
Here's what it looks like with a Tan splatter effect using the sponge.
Next, I added a little dark brown to tone down the tan.....using the same sponge technique.
At this point I called it done. You can keep adding color to satisfy your taste if so desired. I let the paint dry overnight and the next day I sprayed it with two light coats of flat clear.
Here is the finished project.
