@CathyMevik 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Catherine. Thank you for watching ;) The roller is called a brayer. They are ment for printmaking, but alot of artists use them in their work as well. The bottle is called a fine line applicator. You should find both of them quite easily if you google them.

I did it that way. The medium that is used to make acrylic paint is glue, but you could use matt medium if you wanted to stick it to something clear.
