Country-style Fruits

022-05

An American Folk Art country-style fruits project involving a casual and fun painting technique which helps you learn more about creating shapes using a round brush and a filbert brush. Shadows and highlights are created using glazes painted in layers to give the "light from within" effect". The surface is antiqued before and after painting using water-based and oil-based antiquing to create this very rustic look.
