Top

Front

For preparation stain chest with Golden Oak, when dry use very fine sandpaper and sand very lightly.

approx. size of chest 12 " x 8" x 5"

PALETTE:

W White PG Poetry Green YO Yellow Ochre

B Black CR Calico Red TB True Blue

MIXTURES:

# 1 PG+ bit B | # 2 PG + little W + little YO | # 3 CR+ little B | # 4 TB+ little W + bit B

ROSE:

Apply two coats of CR. Immediately after the second coat use mix #3 for the center.

SHADING:

Using Dark Brown mix #3- start shading rose body than rose petals from the outer edge, working inward. Should the dark

shading not come out softly enough, add a bit of water from the middle of the rose to the Brown color. Blend to achieve a

softly-shaded effect.

I would like to remind you to make beautiful brush strokes and to keep the rose slightly damp. It will probably be challenging

for beginners to keep the rose damp until it is finished, however, after a few attempts, you will find the correct mixture and the

best method for yourself

HIGHLIGHTING:

Repeat as above, but use White on the opposite side! The rose should have a soft, gradual transition from the highlighted

areas to the shaded areas. This will give the rose dimension.

Overstroke to complete the rose. Use White in the damp area to strongly emphasize the highlights.

White dots can be placed in the circle for the pollen.

SM. FLOWERS:

Double load your brush for each petal, with mix #4 and little W

Make a short swift “C-hook” and close the petal with a small D-stroke, pick up new paint for every petal.

Add yellow dots around the brown center.

LEAVES:

Double load your brush with mix 2 and little B and apply leaves with swift and loose brushstrokes

With brush #2 and paint mix #1 add space filling leaves and veins.

If you have any questions or comments- I am happy to hear from you !

ENJOY, HAVE FUN
