As usual, even though I anticipated the issues - they annoy me.
Felt absorbs liquid quite well. Even paint. And it remains fluffy which leads to patchy spots.

I'll see if it helps when I paint the other side - but it's pretty evident that I'm going to need a LOT more paint.
I'm debating the type. Right now I'm working with the standard cheap acrylics I've got on hand. I want to get hold of some of the (even cheaper) tempera powder and see how that works. Also considering house paint. It's more durable and I can get a big bucket.....
I'll probably end up trying all of the above and see which fares better.

When I get home from work it'll be time to paint the other side to match this. Once that dries I can start on the details - sun rays and swords.
I haven't decided whether to go over the yellow with a layer of gold. It would look nicer.... but I think in this form plain yellow would be more proper.
