Garden Filler, Fern, and Flower Tips
by: Linda Lover
 

Garden Filler techniques work well for vines, stalk flowers, border flowers, a field of wild flowers and so much more. Picasso is credited with saying "Art is a lie that helps us realize the truth." I see this best in stippling. Colorful pouncing takes on the look of actual flowers and foliage

To create the look of garden filler, stippling with the Black Gold Wave® Shader in various directions and applying different amounts of pressure will offer the look of stems, stalks, and leaves. Pulling up with short strokes will create the look of grass.

Stipple stems by keeping the brush edge straight and applying light pressure or pulling up on the chisel edge for straight lines.

Leaves can be stippled using just the comer of the Black Gold Wave® Shader in irregular pouncing motion covering the desired area. Keep the look airy. Apply a second and lighter color over the base color by pouncing randomly to highlight. An alternative to this would be to double load the corner of the Black Gold Wave® Shader with a dark and light paint color and stipple randomly.

For flowers, double load the Black Gold Wave® Shader and touch to surface lightly to make tiny bud flowers. Double load the comer and stipple clusters or single flowers.
