We used a hard bristle brush and soap to wash the octopus.

I went in with Gold acrylic paint and felt like it wasn’t enough. I wanted to give the golden octopus a little bit of depth so I started to mix the gold with Gel Matte Medium.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="640" height="699" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Black_Octopus_Gold_Chevron_3.png?resize=640%2C699&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-18858" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Black_Octopus_Gold_Chevron_3.png?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Black_Octopus_Gold_Chevron_3.png?resize=732%2C800&ssl=1 732w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Black_Octopus_Gold_Chevron_3.png?resize=768%2C839&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.stencil1.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Black_Octopus_Gold_Chevron_3.png?resize=600%2C656&ssl=1 600w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure><p>Step 5: Just go ahead and layer the paint and medium with the stencil.
