2014 Chapter Service Project

Members are urged to bring items for the Food Bank to each Paint-in and Seminar they attend.

There is a lot of need, so we hope everyone will support this effort.

Antique Gold Deep Lemonade

Avocado Lt. Buttermilk

Black Plum Mauve

Cadmium Orange Navy Blue
Celery Green Payne's Grey
Cool Neutral Plantation Pine
Cranberry Wine Reindeer Moss Green

Golden Straw Titanium White
Lamp Black True Ochre
Basecoat the entire bowl with Cool Neutral. (I would recommend using a roller for this step so you will have some texture for dry brushing. I dry brushed the highlights instead of floating as Deanne did.) When this is dry, dampen the surface with clean water (I used retarder to extend my drying time) using a one inch wash brush. Rebase the inside of the bowl with the Cool Neutral. While this is wet and without rinsing your brush, pick up Black Green and blend this from the center of the bowl toward the rim using slip-slap brush motions. Next, pick up Avocado and blend this from the center outward on top of the existing Black Green. Pick up more paint as necessary to carry the green almost to the outside edges. Then pick up Titanium White and blend this from the outside edges in toward the center to lighten the outer edges. When dry transfer the design.
Basecoat the apples with True Ochre.
Basecoat the plums with several coats of Cranberry Wine so the plums are opaque. (You might want to mix some white into your first coat to speed the process).
Basecoat the grapes with Black Plum.
Paint the stems with Bittersweet Chocolate + Celery Green (1:1) using a no. 6 liner.
