2. Using CB-604 #4 Soft Fan brush on a thin coat of FN-211 Sheer Bue under the area of the fish stencil.  Lay the stencil in the wet glaze.  This will make the stencil stick, and prevent bleed throughl.

4. Use a pencil to draw coral at the bottom of the piece.  Brush on 2-3 coats of SC-89 Cutie Pie Coral with CB-106 #6 Script Liner.

6. Outline the coral with SG-401 Black Designer Liner. Add dots to the coral using Black Designer Liner, and then add a white dot using SG-402 White Designer Liner under each black dot.
7. When all the glazes are dry, brush three coats of FN-211 Sheer Blue to the surface, brush only one coat to the coral, brush the remaining coats, close to the coral brushing over the edges. On the second and third coat, of the Sheer Blue, brush back over the fish with some water to remove glaze.
