My instructions are written in step-by-step order; they are easy to follow but it will be helpful to read them entirely before painting. Follow each step in the order given for your results to be the same as mine, if you omit any of the steps or colors given you will not achieve the same results. We will work from the back of the picture to the front. This helps build the dimension so things don’t look flat. The shadows, highlights and reflected lights are indicated on the pattern so you can see the proper placement of these
LINE WORK: Thin the paint with clean water, mixed with
Extender & Blending Medium to an inky consistency; load the 20/0 Mini Script Liner N
brush by pulling it through the paint, twist the brush
as you go, to achieve a fine point on tip; line the desired
area, holding the brush perpendicular to the surface; the
thickness of the lines will be determined by the amount
of pressure applied to the brush.
BANDING: Apply “SCOTCH MAGIC TAPE” along the outer
edge of area you want banded. Press firmly in place to
eliminate any possibility of the paint bleeding under. Apply
two or three thin coats of paint, drying between each;
let dry before removing tape. Be sure that all base coats
are thoroughly dry before applying tape over them or it
will peel the base coat paint when removed.
WOOD PREPARATION:
Lightly sand wood with fine sandpaper.
Wipe with damp cloth. Fill any holes with wood putty, let dry completely.
Sand the area you applied the putty and wipe clean.
Seal wood with wood sealer, following manufacturer’s directions on container, and let dry.
Lightly sand again with a very fine sand paper or brown paper bag and wipe clean
TRANSFERRING PATTERN:
Tape the pattern to the project with magic tape.
Slide a sheet of Saral transfer paper underneath.
Use a soft lead pencil or a stylus to trace the pattern lines, use a light touch to trace so as not to dent your wood.
Brushes I use
These are my favorite brushes to use. I use the Wave for texture, the Flat Wash for large areas especially backgrounds on canvas. I use the Angle for floating, the Chisel Blender and Shader for painting most of the elements, Mini Script Liner for scrollwork and details. The dry Brush and Mini Mop are used to blend and scumble .I use the Shining Feather Soft Stroke for my baskets, fur, grass, etc

4. Paint whole area of basket with base color Black
Let this dry.
5. Transfer “row patterns” using transfer paper
6. Now you will have 3-4 colors you will use to build the “texture”
7. Using the 20/0 Mini Script Liner brush thin the paint to an “inky” solution
8. Start at the top of the basket and start making small “C” strokes moving around one row at a time. You will have to turn your surface around as you go. Follow the form of each row as you go reloading your brush often. If a stroke looks to fat or “runny” Blot slightly use a q-tip to remover it before it is dry
9. Leave a dark line in between each row showing through.
(If you do cover too much of this line up you can come back in and float the dark back in)
10. As you build up the layers, you can see how the slightly rounded strokes become more real looking. The texture starts to have depth
11. Paint the edge rim with a small round brush with the same “C” strokes slightly overlapping
12. Apply the highlight in the center of each row. I use the Shining Feather Soft Stroke brush for this by just dabbing it on as I go around each row.
Use these colors to build the rows:
Orange Row: Cadmium Orange, highlight over this with Pumpkin.
Yellow row: Khaki Tan, highlight over this with Butter.
Paint the top edges of the basket and the dots on each row with Butter
Glaze the orange rows with Sunset Orange Glaze, 3 coats.
Add the final highlight in the center using Butter.
Glaze the inside of the basket with Primrose Purple Glaze.
Glaze over the orange area on the dress with Sunrise Yellow
Apply a coat of varnish
