Step 4Prepare the woodgrain
Lay out a piece of plastic or board that you want to work on. I used an old election sign that is made of hollow-core plastic. (Make sure you don't use current election signs, there are vandalism laws against that!) You could also use a painted or primed board, or anything else that the paint won't dry too quickly on - it needs to stay wet.
Roll the cylinder one revolution across the board to find out about how much of the board you need to paint to cover the whole sleeve/cylinder. You can start from the seam and roll until the seam touches the board again - that is the distance that you need to paint
Brush a coat of paint onto the board.
Add any other colors you may choose. I added a grey and an ochre to give some texture. Loosely drag it across the paint so that it streaks.
