Materials:

Black Gold® Paint brushes: Nos. 8, 12 Wave, No. 4 Shader, 3/4 Wash

3.5" x 5" rectangle Wood Plaque

Acrylic Paints: Winter Blue, Cadmium Red, Snow White, True Blue, Hauser Dark Green, Hauser Light Green

Miscellaneous Items: transfer paper, disposable palette, water basin, pencil, paper towel, pattern

Directions:

  1. Basecoat plaque with Winter Blue using Wash Brush and allow to dry.
     
  2. Transfer Flag pattern if needed. Paint corner square True Blue with Wash Brush. Use No. 12 Wave brush to paint alternating stripes Cadmium Red and Snow White.
     
  3. When paint has dried, transfer rose design in corner.
     
  4. Double load the No. 8 Wave brush with Hauser Dark Green and Hauser Light Green and paint each leaf. Allow the Wave brush to create the leaf detail. Add either a darker or lighter green if needed for accent. The edge of the wave brush will continue to keep the leaf detail.
     
  5. Double load the No. 8 Wave brush with Snow White and Winter Blue and paint the rose starting with the top curve keeping Snow White to the top. Allow the brush to do the work for you as you continue to paint petals from left to right and right to left, with the Wave brush double loaded with Winter Blue and Snow White.
     
  6. When the paint for the rose has dried, double load the No. 12 Wave brush with Snow White and Hauser Light Green, using the very edge, lightly touch the brush to the surface to create lacey foliage.
