Equipment

  • 1 Paint Brush

What You Will Need

  • 1 Wooden log

Instructions

  • Prep your wooden log, stripping the bark, washing away any debris, and sanding it smooth.
  • Start with your lightest paint color on top, painting about 1/6 of the log.
  • Continue painting down the log, applying a new color every 1/6. Each section should get two coats. As you apply each new color, belnd it in with the color above to achieve a gradient.
