Background: Load oval wash with Glazing Medium and Payne’s Grey.

Very carefully, slip-slap over the Persimmon side sections to create a mystical, eerie night effect. The brush strokes may be visible, but you need to blend softly so they aren’t spotty.

Load filbert with Buttermilk to drybrush a soft halo along each outer side of the moon.

Load splatter brush with thinned Moon Yellow to speckle side sections.

Load same brush with Paynes Grey to add speckles on side sections and very lightly on moon area.

Repeat with Snow White. Keep speckles small and minimal.

Base coat words Lamp Black using round and liner as needed.

When dry, base letters with a coat of Star Lite Varnish. Immediately sprinkle heavily with Black Ultra Fine Glitter.

After dry, tap lightly to remove excess glitter.

Gently brush with soft mop to clean off any remaining glitter.

Attach Black Tinsel Twine for hanging.

Stamping:

To stamp the ornate border, load small specialty sponge with Soft Black. Tap sponge on palette to disperse paint evenly across bottom of sponge.

Gently apply a light layer to pointed top edge of cling stamp.

Carefully stamp pointed edge around outer border of plaque.

You need to apply paint to the stamp after each imprint. Too much paint will cause a blurry image, while not enough will cause an incomplete stamping.

Only use a small portion of the stamp around the border to create a narrow design edging.

Finishing:

Paint side edges and back of plaque Soft Black. Spray seal all pieces with several light coats of Americana Matte Spray Finish, allowing appropriate time between coats.

Beautiful squash varieties abound in all shapes, sizes, and harmonious colors, making pleasing arrangements easy.

Autumn brings many images to feed our painting passions. I based the squash composition on photos from a Maine garden nursery. Integrating this refined painting with an imaginative mixed media canvas provides a contemporary foundation bringing together trending & traditional styles.

• 3/8”, 1/2”, & 3/4” RB Classique™ Angle 1100 • #3 & #7 RB Classique Round 1000 • #20/0 RB Classique Liner 1050 • #2 RB Artiste™ Stenciler 500 • Large Scruffy Brush

Preparation:

Use 3/4” angle to base coat canvas, including sides, Dried Basil Green. A slip-slap motion will help work paint into canvas’s woven texture. Dry.

Instructions:

Canvas Background Treatment:

Use a large scruffy brush (at least 3/4”) to skim color over background. To do this, don’t wet brush. Pick up Sable Brown + Antique Gold Deep on drybrush.

Vary proportions to avoid static color. Wipe brush well on dry paper towel. Skim over canvas to bring out texture. Use a light touch to avoid creating solid areas. Carry this around to sides. (See Fig. 1)

Painting World Magazine Realign stencil side-by-side to cover canvas’s full width. Wrap design onto sides. Make sure

too much. If color isn’t moving, you can lightly mist again with water. Let dry. (See Fig. 3)

DO

Don’t feel bound to follow the exact stencil placement I used. I give precise information so you see how I achieved my end result.

Shifting placement or positioning things differently won’t ruin the project.

Having knowledge to create and freedom to restyle keeps following a designer’s instructions fun.

I also give specific mixture ratios, but I tend to brush mix colors to keep elements from seeming flat. Brush mixing provides subtle variations in hue, temperature, and value, adding interest to the piece.

Flip Flourish & Drop Border stencil vertically so tab is down. Align straight edge of stencil’s opening with canvas’s top and left edges.

The straight Mylar® edge will be beyond canvas’s edge. You can tape stencil to avoid shifting, but tape doesn’t hold well on canvas.

Don’t wet roller. Place a bit of Antique White on palette paper.

Roll it into a thin layer with dry roller. Too much paint will cause it to bleed. Lightly roll paint over stencil, leaving some areas of drybrushed layer exposed. [Fig. 2]

Fig. 2

paint on stencil isn’t wet and flip vertically to stencil second row in the same manner. Overlap plain strip to align the repeat.

Stenciling along lower edge doesn’t need to align with row above.

When finished stenciling, use roller to paint patchy background on lower right area. Lift roller as you work outward to create soft edges. (See Fig. 2)

Lightly mist canvas with water, then spritz with White Shimmer Mister. Stand canvas so mist travels and creates drips. Be conservative with water or white will disperse

Place French Quarter stencil in more solid background area. Flip or rotate stencil however you want.

For my canvas, I flipped stencil horizontally and positioned it along lower edge. Rouge canvas with brush-mixed variations of Gingerbread and Antique Gold Deep on #2 stenciler. To do this, pick up a bit of paint on brush and wipe excess on clean, dry paper towel. Pounce brush over stencil to deposit color. If you swirl the brush, be gentle and avoid snagging curls or you’ll bend the Mylar. Allow to fade softly before reaching stencil’s straight border to avoid hard lines. Don’t move stencil.

Add talcum powder to RB Stenciling Gel so it’s like a light paste. Note: If you substitute ready-made paste, you won’t achieve translucent effect shown.

Use this RB Stenciling Gel/ Paste to emboss stenciled motif.

Spread gel with angled palette knife letting gel/paste end at irregular intervals. Missing areas and ridges give a more vintage look. After removing stencil, I also used the palette knife to apply plain areas of gel/paste above and just to the left of the rouged, embossed stenciling. (See Fig. 4) If you want another embossed area (like the non-rouged area on my canvas’s upper right), reposition stencil and emboss the same way. If there’s any possibility of overlap, wait until first application is dry. (See Fig. 4)

Fig. 4

Stencil design with Bleached Sand on dry #2 stenciler. Allow color to fade away in stencil’s open areas.

Reposition stencil to complete motif at bottom if desired.

Clean the stencil immediately after embossing. If you must delay cleaning, submerge it in water.

Dampen board with water from spritzer, then drip/spatter with watery Antique Gold Deep + Gingerbread 1:1.

Dry board and very lightly transfer pattern.

When embossing is dry, you can decide if you want to increase prominence with a second application. Notice translucent nature of gel/paste allows rouged color to show through stenciling. (See Fig. 5)

This squash is lumpy-bumpy, so you’ll need to dab color in place rather than a smooth application. Begin by dampening a single rib with water and wash with thinned Midnite Green to create lightest value. Then, while surface is wet, use #7 round to dab with additional Midnite Green beginning in darkest areas and moving toward light.

Dabs will soften into wet layer, providing lumpy-bumpy texture.

Fig. 6

Watercolor Board Background Treatment: If your watercolor board is larger than 5”x7”, trim to this size. Mask board’s perimeter with 1/4” RB mini masking tape, pressing edges firmly in place.

August 2016 Issue

Establish stem with thinned Antique White on #3 round. It’s fine to work wet into wet, but don’t worry if layers dry. The stem is highly textured, so if areas don’t blend it’s okay. Apply streaks with inky paint in a linear fashion consistent with stem’s sides. Create darker streaks with thinned Sable Brown on #3 round.

Blue-Green Squash:

Orange Squash:

Fig. 5

Finish this stage with Cadmium Orange + Antique Gold Deep 2:1 for darkest regions. The area you’re working in must be wet so colors bleed/blend on their own. I advise you work on only one rib at a time before watercolor board becomes too dry. I skip ribs so I’m never working wet beside wet and lose control of where values travel.

IO CE U IT ED OD R L TA EP GI T R DI O N

DO

Flip French Quarter stencil horizontally. Align with tape along upper left then shift stencil roughly 1/2” past left side.

Working on one rib at a time, use #7 round to dampen squash with water. Wash with a hint of Cadmium Orange (the lightest value seen), then, while surface is wet, place additional Cadmium Orange in darker areas and allow it to bleed into wash to create medium values.

Establish stem in same manner as for orange squash.

Leaves:

Paint each leaf independently and dry before painting an adjacent leaf. Begin by using #3 round to dampen a leaf with water, then lightly wash with very thin Antique Gold Deep (these leaves appear warm yellow-green). Add a hint of Midnite Green at wet leaf’s base

Painting World Magazine Paint stem with thin streaks of Antique White + Sable Brown 1:1 on #20/0 liner. Likewise, apply dark steaks with inky thin Midnite Green. Refer to photo to identify where to pack streaks tighter, which develops shading and creates stem’s form.

Striped Squash:

DO

and allow it to bleed to create shading. In order to separate leaves that overlap, add a touch of Sable Brown to Antique Gold Deep (these leaves appear goldenbrown). Shade these leaves the same way. In the photo, the leaves’ hue isn’t static. Accomplish this by varying between brush-mixed hues of Antique Green and Sable Brown to create leaves, then adding darker values with Midnite Green. This makes leaves appear more interesting than they would using one or two static hues.

Striped Squash:

Don’t paint the striped squash too dark. As with previous squash, begin by dampening a rib with water then lightly wash with a hint of Bleached Sand on #3 round. To create shading, vary between very thin brush-mixed Antique Gold Deep and Sable Brown. Brush mixing creates subtle hue and temperature variations. If shading becomes too dark, let it dry and wash with Bleached Sand to lighten.

Orange Squash:

(See Fig. 7) Deepen darkest values with Cadmium Orange + Black Plum 2:1 side loaded on 1/2” angle. In the photo, this falls primarily on squash’s left side and on ribs to right of stem.

Create small squash’s stripes in two phases. Begin with watery Cadmium Orange and Antique Gold Deep on #20/0 liner. Slowly build mottled stripes with transparent dabs of color. (See Fig. 7a) Fig. 7a

Likewise, build mottled stripes with thin Midnite Green.

Vary between Black Plum and Sable Brown on #20/0 liner to develop stem’s shading and texture. Don’t let stem become too much of a single, solid color.

Use Cadmium Orange + Black Plum 2:1 on #3 round to apply a transparent cast shadow (created by stem) on squash.

Blue-Green Squash:

Intensify darker areas. Use #3 round to build darker values and further develop bumpy texture with layers of thinned Midnite Green.

Likewise, add Payne’s Grey to squash to create deepest values.

Don’t completely cover lighter stripes.(See Fig. 7b below)

Fig. 8

Mount papers and painting with 1/4” RB Double-Stick Craft Tape. You need very strong tape due to canvas’s texture, rough watercolor paper, and watercolor board’s weight. Place plenty tape on back of low areas—where paper dips down and comes in contact with canvas. Place your hand behind canvas and press firmly to bond. Secure layers in as many places as possible.

section from the sheet. Edges don’t have to be neat. Distress and curl edges as follows:

Holding blade perpendicular to paper’s edge, scrape along sheet’s sides with scissors or a razor blade.

Paper will get fuzzy and tear in places; you can make deeper tears by hand. Curl corners where paper is torn. You can do this with your fingers or curl paper around a brush handle. If you have trouble making it curl, soften with a water spritz on the back. It

Watercolor Board Details [Fig. 8]

Use very thin side loaded Sable Brown on 1/2” angle to wash cast shadows on lower left beneath each painted element.

Finishing:

Only finish this piece if you want a uniform sheen on the canvas.

As-is, it incorporates a matte background with satin texture. If you want a single sheen, lightly spray with your favorite aerosol finish. I urge against using brushon finish on textured background.

Assembly:

Wash patches, then drip and splatter color on rough sheet of watercolor paper. Use your preferred colors from project palette. I used Gingerbread, Cadmium Orange, and Sable Brown + a touch of Antique Gold Deep to create gold tones. (See Fig. 9)

Next, trim watercolor paper to 7” x 9”. Select your favorite painted August 2016 Issue

The surface kit comes with a few yards of coordinating twine. Cut twine into three equal pieces.

Loosely tie knots along twine’s length, making sure not to pull all strings equally tight. You can try spacing knots with same placement as on my canvas or tie randomly.

Secure with small bumps of RB Double-Stick Craft Tape—they won’t hold with a single, flat piece.

Support from behind and press firmly. If desired, decorate a few knots with small coordinating accessories (i.e. a snap, bead, or brad). Also attach these with small bumps of RB Double-Stick Craft Tape. Remember, support from behind and press firmly to bond.

About Deb

I live in beautiful Penticton, British Columbia, Canada with my recently retired husband and two fur children. My husband and I have spent the past two years renovating my husband’s childhood home that was built by his father in 1946.

My painting journey began in 1990. From the first time I picked up a brush I was hooked. I painted for craft sales and taught classes at Michaels® for five years. Since then I have gone on to be one of the original-founding members of Painting with Friends®, the brainchild of my friend Terrye French. Terrye French is my greatest inspiration and I credit Terrye French’s encouragement and friendship for all of my success.

Sadly, Terrye passed away in November 2014, she left a very large hole in my heart. With her

Surface Preparation:

Unless otherwise stated, I seal all surfaces with one coat of DecoArt Multi-Purpose Sealer, let dry, and sand lightly.

My Techniques: Stenciling:

I drybrush my stenciling with a good quality stencil brush. Brush must be dry. When drybrushing, I load paint from a dry surface, not a wet palette, as moisture will get into brush and make paint go on smudgy. I also keep an old towel handy for cleaning brush between colors.

To start, load brush by tipping it into paint, blend out on palette paper, and wipe any excess paint off on paper towel. Lightly scrub over stencil onto surface to apply color. Start softly then

press harder depending how much color you need. The harder you press, the more color you’ll get. Unless otherwise stated, my stenciling is always imperfect for a bit of a distressed look.

Float/Shade:

I always float color with Angular Shaders and mop to soften with a mop. I shade around design elements before base coating to achieve a softer look. Unless otherwise indicated, I shade around entire shape and deepen in corners and under design elements for more depth.

Line:

Unless otherwise stated, I do all lining with the #10/0 Liner and paint watered down to an ink-like consistency.

Basecoat:

Use brush that best fits size of area to be painted.

Scrapbook Papers:

I try to use papers from Michaels® or Hobby Lobby®. I know this isn’t always possible to match, so I use fairly neutral papers you can easily substitute or recreate with paint. If you have a favorite paper, pick a paint color that matches a color in the paper and add a little into the background.

Matte Medium:

I coat the entire surface with Matte Medium after applying papers.

This seals paper and surface, making floating color much nicer and easier… and you can quickly wipe off any mistakes.

Stencil background with Gothic stencil and Persimmon. Trace on basic pattern lines. Trace hat, head and dress, body onto scrapbook paper and cut out.

Use Matte Medium to adhere scrapbook paper in place using basic pattern lines as guide.

Smooth into place with finger and old credit card. When smooth, apply thin coat of Matte Medium over entire surface; let dry.

Make a shimmery hint of blues and purples by brushing Interference Blue and Purple over hat and dress papers; let dry. Trace on remaining pattern lines.

Innovative Corner

with Debbie Cole, CDA

This month, I’m sharing about DecoArt’s® innovative Mixed Media® Program products and discussing the products I’ve used in the companion project. The program has a range of products, making it suitable for all craft, fine art, and home decor mixed media projects.

Media Fluid Acrylics paints are the program’s heart. They are water-based, highly pigmented fluid acrylic paints that are intermixable, durable, and permanent. They contain a strong binder, so they adhere well to most surfaces and dry with a satin sheen. The line has 48 colors whose opacity varies from transparent to opaque. The opaque paints offer superior coverage for base coating

and other techniques requiring only one coat.

While created for mixed media, the paints also work well for many traditional techniques. The opaque and semi-transparent colors are wonderful for applying shades or highlights, while the transparent colors are perfect for glazing. Because of their strong pigment, you can thin them to use as watercolors. However, since they have a binder, you can paint them on almost any surface and they won’t reconstitute once dry. Therefore, you don’t need a medium to build multiple paint layers.

Some colors in the Fluid Acrylic line have multiple uses. You can tone the pure pigmented colors with the

neutral colors, such as Medium Grey Value 6. Titanium White or Titan Buff have wonderful opacity and can lighten all the colors, whereas Carbon Black, Dark Grey Value 3, or Burnt Umber can darken the colors, allowing for a complete value scale for each color.

DecoArt Media Liquid Glass is a specially formulated product that adds dimensional details, designs, and/or embellishments that dry clear, giving the illusion of glass. Once dry, it’s hard and non-tacky. It adheres to paper, wood, and canvas, and you can create custom colors by tinting with Fluid Acrylics. You can use it with stencils and add fine glitter or similar objects to create interesting effects.

You can also use it in bezels.

N: .

IO CE U IT ED OD R L TA EP GI T R DI O N

Silver Metallic and Gold Metallic are the two semi-transparent metallic colors. You can mix these with pure pigments to make warm and cool metallic colors. Understanding each paint color and its opacity opens a limitless range of technical opportunities.

The line also contains many mediums that open even more possibilities. Matte Medium, an acrylic medium, can change the Fluid Acrylics’ properties to allow more ways to use them. It can increase the paints’ fluidity and transparency without changing their viscosity.

Added to or painted over the paints, it will decrease sheen.

It’s so versatile, it can be used as a sealer, decoupage glue, photo transfer medium, or, when added to water, a spray fixative to prevent smudging.

The White Tinting Base is an all-purpose white base you can use alone or tint with any of the Fluid Acrylic colors for superior coverage. This makes it perfect for one-coat base coating, and it adheres to most surfaces. You can also mix it with the DecoArt Americana® Acrylic paints to increase their opaqueness. This solves many transparent paint problems. However, since it’s white, it will lighten colors.

It comes in white, black, and clear, and you can tint it to create a rainbow of colors. You can spread the paste with a palette knife, use it with a stencil, and impress it with rubber stamps. It also adheres to most surfaces.

Another paste is Decoart Media Texture Sand Paste. It creates texture and dimension with the look and feel of wet sand. You can apply it over stencils, then sand and paint it.

Its uses are abundant. I used it to give a corroded look.

The Media line has a variety of exceptional varnishes. They all are polyurethane, fast drying, non-yellowing, and durable. The varnishes come in Gloss, Satin, Matte, and Ultra Matte. The Ultra Matte works as a final finish, but its great tooth means you can also use it as a clear coat for other techniques. Once dry, it accepts other media, such as chalk, graphite, colored pencil, and pastel. The other unique varnish is Soft-Touch Varnish. It creates a silky-smooth, durable finish that’s soft to the touch.

The program has many pastes that create different effects.

DecoArt Media Modeling Paste creates texture and dimensional designs.

Allow the modeling paste to dry thoroughly before stenciling with the paste.

Adhere the 6-1/2” wide x 5-1/2” tall piece near the upper left corner of the canvas, approx. 1-1/4” away from both edges. Adhere the 5” wide by 6-1/2” tall piece near the bottom right of the canvas, approx. 1-1/2” from both edges.

• Palette knife and/or small trowel • 1/4 yard burlap • Aleene’s® tacky glue • Sawtooth hanger (optional) • Soft fabric cloths (for example, old socks or pieces cut from an old t-shirt) • Paper towels • Pencil • Ruler or straightedge • Water basin • Grey and white transfer paper • Small amount of painter’s tape

Preparation:

Sand the canvas as needed and tack to remove dust. Seal front, sides, and back with Multi-Purpose Sealer. If the canvas panel didn’t come with a sawtooth hanger on the back, apply one now.

Painting Instructions: Burlap:

Cut two rectangles from the burlap; one 6-1/2” wide by 51/2” tall, and the second 5” wide by 61/2” tall.

Completely cover the backs of both pieces with a generous layer of Tacky Glue. Smooth the glue over the back of the burlap until every part is covered with a generous

While glue is still wet, pull a couple of strands from each side of the burlap pieces to create a small fringe around the edges. Press the burlap down again to ensure that the frayed edges will stick to the canvas. If necessary, add more glue to secure them. Allow to dry several hours, or overnight. (Step 1)

Texturing the background and stencils:

Media Modeling Paste: Background: Using a small trowel/palette knife, cover a thin coating of modeling paste all over the wooden canvas, as though “frosting a cake” (don’t forget to “frost” the sides). This doesn’t need to be thick, but should leave some texture on the canvas. Leave some of the markings created by spreading the paste; don’t try to make it smooth. The background will be more interesting with a few marks, nicks, or bumps.

Over the burlap:

Step 1

Apply a slight amount of modeling paste over the burlap, being careful not to completely fill in all the voids in the burlap and fringe.

If you push too much paste into the burlap and won’t be able to see enough texture, remove excess paste with a damp cloth or sponge until you’re satisfied.

Place the largest simple acanthus leaves stencil in the bottom right corner of the canvas, approx. 1/2” away from both edges. (Note: orient this stencil in the portrait position, meaning the longest side runs from top to bottom.)

Place the smaller simple acanthus leaves stencil on the canvas immediately above the first one, but the orient it in the landscape position (meaning the longest side runs from left to right).

Gently secure the stencils to the canvas with painter’s tape.

(Note: if you use different stencils instead, keep most of the stenciled detail along the right side of the canvas so it doesn’t interfere with the majority of the poppy design.)

Stenciling with modeling paste:

Using the trowel/palette knife, apply a generous amount of modeling paste to the stencil, pulling paste from the stencil’s cut edge toward the design’s center to avoid pushing the paste under the stencil. You’re stenciling over an uneven surface, so be careful not to push/press on the trowel/palette knife too hard.

Apply a thick layer of modeling paste over stencils, leaving markings from where it was spread; then gently lift the stencil STRAIGHT UP. Don’t pull the stencil off from one corner or slide it when lifting it off, or the paste will smear.

Allow the paste to completely dry several hours, or overnight.

Immediately clean the stencils and trowel/palette knife with warm water and soap. (See Steps 2-5)

Painting Background: Gesso: Base entire canvas, top, sides, and back. (See Step 6)

Light Buttermilk: Base canvas top and sides. With a pencil, lightly draw a line across the canvas 3-3/4” up from the bottom. Lightly draw another line from the top to the bottom, 3-3/4” away from the left edge.

Glazing Medium/Honey Brown/ Espresso: (80%/15%/5%) Apply generously to upper right section of the canvas (the largest section) with a wide brush, working in small areas of approx.

3” or 4” in diameter at a time.

Step 4

Using a soft cloth, immediately and gently wipe away excess glazing/paint mixture, leaving enough behind to settle into the crevices, texture, and bumps created by the paste and burlap.

(You want the glazed color to settle into the background to help reveal the texture.)

Repeat the process, working in small sections, until the marked off area and sides of the canvas in that area are filled in. If you’ve wiped back more of the than you anticipated and want to deepen the color, repeat the above process until you’re satisfied.

Glazing Medium/Espresso/ Burnt Umber: (80%/10%/10%) Following the steps above, fill in the section on the bottom right.

Step 5

Glazing Medium/Tuscan Red: (80%/20%) Following the steps above, fill in the square area on the bottom left.

Glazing Medium/Indian Turquoise and Glazing Medium/ Foliage Green: (Make two mixtures, one for each color, 80% Glazing Medium/20% paint)

Working quickly in small sections, apply the Indian Turquoise mixture to the remaining canvas section, wiping back slightly.

Using the round brush, while the Indian Turquoise is wet, quickly apply the Foliage Green mixture over the Indian Turquoise in diagonal streaks.

Quickly and gently pat to remove some excess Foliage Green color until slightly blended.

You can add more Foliage Green and Indian Turquoise with the round brush after the entire area is covered to adjust the color balance to your liking.

Painting the design: Watermelon Slice: Base the poppies.

Forest Green: Base the stems, poppy centers, and tops of the poppy pods.

Espresso: Base the two poppy pods, and inside the pods. (See Step 7 on previous page)

Pumpkin: Using the crescent brush, lightly drybrush in the center and top of each poppy petal. Float streaks and veins in each petal, coming from the flower’s center and moving outward. Float along the top portions of the petals to highlight.

Orange Flame: In the same way, float streaks and veins in the poppy leaves. On the petals’ highest tips, where they bend upward, float pulling the edge of the floats downwards toward the petal’s

center to create brighter areas of the petal. Thin paint considerably with water, and lightly streak a bit over the Indian Turquoise section. Lightly soften this color or mop it around so it blends gently into the background; it shouldn’t stand out too prominently. (See Steps 8-9 on previous page)

Tuscan Red: Float to shade the petals against flower centers and next to stems. Also float to shade petals where they lay behind another petal or stem, beneath where a petal folds over, or on the bottom side of the petals. Float the portions of the petal tips that bend downwards, pulling the float slightly into each petal’s center next to the Orange Flame floats. (This should help the orange “pop” out.)

Drybrush the brown poppy pods’ centers lightly with Tuscan Red. Mix a bit of Burnt Umber into a fresh pool of Tuscan Red and lightly drybrush around the edges of the brown background portion, the canvas’s lower left area, pulling the drybrushing toward the brown area’s center.

Step 12

Deep Burgundy: Float to deepen shading on all poppy petals; repeat as needed. Mix a bit of Burnt Umber into the Deep Burgundy, and heavily drybrush over the red square’s center on the canvas’s bottom left side. (See Steps 10-12) Peacock Teal: Using the crescent brush, drybrush the center of each stem, flower center, and rims of the poppy pods. Lightly drybrush a few diagonal streaks on the Indian Turquoise area. Thin the paint considerably with water, and lightly streak a bit more on the Indian Turquoise section. Blend and mop up the excess as needed. It should blend softly into the background.

Sour Apple: Drybrush more color on the center of each stem, flower center, and rims of the poppy pods to brighten the color.

Thin the paint with water, and add a few more subtle streaks to the Indian Turquoise area.

Sunny Day: Very lightly drybrush highlights on the green stems, flower centers, and poppy pod rims.

Painting World Magazine Using the “Poppies” stencil for the lettering:

Watermelon Slice: Thin paint with water, about 90% water to 10% paint. Very lightly, streak only a few strokes over the Indian Turquoise area. This should be very transparent; mop up any excess with a wet paper towel, or blend gently with a dampened fingertip. You only need enough to gently “introduce” red to this section. The red should be very subtle, almost unnoticeable.

Carefully align the word in the center of the Indian Turquoise area, centering it diagonally and horizontally. Use painter’s tape to secure stencil.

NOTE: Since you’re stenciling over a bumpy surface, the stencil won’t lay absolutely flat. It’s very important that as you stencil, you keep your brush completely vertical, and not tipped or slanted. If you don’t stencil with a straight-up-and-downmotion, you could easily have smudges beneath the stencil.

Soft Black: Thin the paint slightly with water. Using the 18/0 liner, apply small lines to flower centers, and line the pods’ tops. (See Step 13)

Watermelon Slice: Stencil the “Poppies” lettering.

Lettering:

Tuscan Red/Deep Burgundy mixture: Stencil across the bottom third of the lettering.

Remove stencil. (See Step 14)

Watermelon Slice: Base the lettering.

Orange Flame/Pumpkin mixture: Float across the top of the lettering, walking down the float toward the letters’ center.

Allow to dry for several days. Brush on two coats of matte varnish, drying well between applications.

To Be or Not to Be...

A Good Student Part of learning to paint is being a good student.

Many things make a class successful, but most importantly it should be rewarding for YOU! To start, you need to register for most classes. This to ensure room in a classroom and allow the instructor to know how many to prepare for.

If you’re a beginner, you’ll shop for supplies. A well-organized instructor will give you a list of supplies in ample time to obtain them. Many who have painted will have some or all of

the supplies. Most instructors are flexible in specific supplies, but contact the teacher if you’re going to substitute. I’ve been in classes where I substituted and later wished I hadn’t due to my project’s outcome.

Instructors understand financial differences and will try to work with you in any way.

Get out the class ad/flyer. Do you know where to go? If you’re driving there, program the address into a GPS or check the internet to find out the required driving time. Add an extra hour for weather conditions, traffic, and food

stops. If you’re flying, go the day before class and stay in a hotel to ensure you arrive promptly.

Finally, if you’re staying at a hotel for the class, set an alarm early enough to get ready, have your meal, and to walk to the class.

You’re finally there! Hooray!

Some students like to sit in the front to see the instructor and project up close. Some like to sit in the back, some along the aisle, and some are happy anywhere.

I like to sit in the back and see what everyone else is doing. I’m always amazed at the work and enjoy watching the progress.

After you’ve settled in, get out your supplies. If the instructor was kind enough to include a pattern packet, WAIT until she tells you to open it and what to do with it. You may have to get your own water in your brush basin - do that before class starts.

If you’re with a friend or make friends with the person beside you, be courteous and don’t talk when the instructor is talking.

Repeating instructions multiple times is very annoying. It’s even more annoying to have to ask the person next to you what was

said or shown. You both may miss the most important step.

Listen and watch - very important! Listen to what the instructor says and watch what he does. Most instructors will show you what to do, then have you do it. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. The instructor wants you to leave class with something you’ll be proud to take home.

If you need the restroom and can’t wait until a break, go quickly and quietly. If you’re a smoker, try not to leave until break. If you have health issues that require you to eat a snack, try to bring something you can open without disturbing others.

Some instructors are great and some shouldn’t be instructors. I’ve had both! Even had an instructor fall asleep in class. With that said, YOU, as the student, should get a good night’s sleep before class.

Once your project is done, remember others may be slower than you. If you need last minute August 2016 Issue

touch up assistance from the instructor, be patient waiting your turn. If you’re satisfied with your project, tidy your area - supplies away, water dumped, trash thrown away - then leave quietly.

Class time is to be enjoyable and relaxing. You should be happy with your project. If you didn’t get it finished, don’t moan. Find time to finish it soon, while instructions are still fresh in your mind.

Lastly, thank the instructor for teaching. As an instructor, I love a smile and “thank you” from students. It makes an instructor’s day knowing it’s been worth her time.

If you’ve never taken a class, try one. I’ve made wonderful friends, students and instructors, who’ve enriched my life in many ways! It’s grand to keep in touch via the internet so you can meet up again at a future class.

Best of luck in all classes you take. Relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy!

I adore anything fall – regardless if it’s Halloween or just general fall, it’s my favorite season! I love the colors and the FUN, which this project is full of! A cute Crow creating a “Magical Brew” at sunset. The background really makes this project stand out.

This was such fun for me, and I hope you enjoy it too! You can display this shape many ways: on a shelf/mantle, on the wall, or above a door/ window. Or you could hang it on your door or covered porch to tell everyone you’re brewing up a Happy Halloween!

About Sharon

I’ve had a love of drawing, painting and crafts since I was very young.

I supplied shops and did many craft shows. However, I kept leaning towards decorative painting and finally got the courage to give it a try and I have never looked back! I sell finished pieces on Ebay and lots of painting patterns on Etsy.

I was extremely honored August 2016 Issue

When asked by Terrye French several years ago to paint for her in what would soon become “Painting With Friends”. I owe her so much gratitude and miss her so much!

I am designing on my own now, and I love whimsical and primitive designs. I only wish I had more time to paint! Outside the painting world, I am married with two

fantastic sons and daughter-in-laws (and now two grandbabies!) I love Classic Rock and I am a huge Led Zeppelin fan! Music and Art have always gone hand in hand for me!

DecoArt® Mediums: • Americana Dry Time Extender • Americana Matte Spray Finisher

The Artist’s Club® Papillon Brushes:

• Glaze/Wash Brush 3/4” - #29002 • Round #2 - #20158 • Script Liner 10/0 - #20137 • Angle Shader 1/4” - #20109 • Angle Shader 3/8”, #20110 • Flat Shader #6 - #20127 • Drybrush 1/4” & 1/2” – from their Highlighter Set #20173

Keep your surface/paint damp so the colors blend and look smooth. If paint starts to drag or look jagged, either thin the paint or mist the surface. I mist the surface before I start this step so it’s already damp and ready to blend!

Miscellaneous Supplies:

Start at the bottom and work toward the top; Canyon Orange first, then Watermelon Slice, etc. Sweep brush in long, flowing strokes back and forth across entire surface to help colors blend a bit.

• Ultra-fine Permanent Black Marker – Such as a Sharpie® OR Black PITT® Artist Pen, Extra Superfine by FaberCastell® (for even finer lines.)

• Small mister bottle of water

Preparation:

I was excited to create a fun background for this colorful project! Start by base coating plaque Boysenberry Pink. Once dry, start the sunset background.

Let dry completely before proceeding. I based the ‘routered’ edge part across the plaque’s top Black. (See Step 1)

Place a puddle of each color (listed from bottom to top as applied to plaque) on your palette

Painting Instructions:

Any time I say to “finely outline” something in Black, you can choose whether you want to thin your paint and use a liner brush or simply use your Black marker(s)!

To make transferring easier, this project involves two separate line drawings. One with the trees only and one with the main scene.

To start, transfer trees.

All trees are Black. You can do smaller branches with the Black marker or liner and thinned Black paint. Once trees are dry, start transferring main design. (See Steps 2-3)

Crow:

Start with cape and hat band.

About Kelly

Hello from Indiana! So far I have graduated with a fine arts degree.

Worked in advertising. For the last 19 years I have traveled the US teaching and exhibiting in the decorative painting market.

Have designed over 500+ pieces for publications such as books, articles and pattern packets.

Have taken more than 10,000 photos. Became an international artist with my first e-course (more than 8 different countries).

I enjoy creating in acrylics, mixed media, colored pencil and watercolors. And am still excited to be creative every single day!

Some things you might not know about me.

I have a very curious nature.

Work best by moonlight.

Create because I have to.

Inspired by the details. Chase the muse everywhere. Excited by nature. Love a challenge.

Miscellaneous Supplies: • Spreader or credit card • Doily paper or plastic stencil

Preparation:

Lay book flat with covers up. Sand covers lightly; wipe away dust with damp paper towel. Gesso entire cover (front and back) plus the fold binding tape. Let dry. You might want to go over UPC and notebook header twice to add coverage. Let dry completely.

Instructions:

Pick 3 colors that compliment your papers; I used Pebble, Toffee, and Flesh Tone. Working one cover at a time, apply the 3 colors and slip slap them together, softly blending where they meet. Let your strokes show to add interest. (See Step 1) While wet, press in texture items in a couple places. Dip fingers into water and splash onto cover; let it penetrate down to the gesso layer by letting it set a couple seconds, then lightly blotting with paper towel.

Repeat on binding and other cover.

Let dry. It will flatten out as it dries.

Cut paper using the design or your favorite elements. I chose one to pencil over and one for the added decoration the paper displayed.

Cut into squares or long rectangles to make a pleasing design.

Rip some edges to lend softness to composition. Make sure no two pieces are the same shape or size. (See Step 2)

Apply decoupage to paper’s back and smooth with fingers and credit card to ensure even coverage.

If you’re going to use colored pencils for your main motif, don’t decoupage on top – it will make colored pencils harder to do.

Step 1

Decoupage over the other pieces so you can paint there without it absorbing into the paper. (See Step 3)

With DM stippler and White Wash, add your favorite stencil or doily image. To make softer edges, dampen brush and blot dry. Load only half of brush then pounce on palette to remove excess.

Then, with paint next to doily edge and water away from edge, begin pouncing up and down.

When outer edge is complete, fully load brush, pounce away excess, and begin pouncing entire inside areas of stencil.

Step 2

Lightly transfer bird with Super Chacopaper and stylus. Base bird, beak (not wing) with two light coats of Gesso. Shadow around bird is Goldenrod.

From Art Journal to Home Decor...

by Tracy Weinzapfel

Like most artists, I create from the heart.

This means not every piece will be a masterpiece, be sold, be in a museum or art gallery, or be part of my home decor. I go to my art journal for a safe place to create. The pages are ideas I want to try, a diary of my emotions, an avenue to try a new technique.

About Tracy Tracy Weinzapfel owns and operates her own Art Studio, Tracy Weinzapfel Studios and is the Education Coordinator for DecoArt, Inc. She works as a fulltime licensed Mixed Media Artist who hosts a show on the internet called Mixed Media Monday and teaches art workshops across the US and beyond.

Tracy is happiest in her studio painting and living life with a creative edge. Her great joy is sharing and teaching her passion for art and everything colorful.

These pieces came to life through the backgrounds and textures that are easy-to-create with the DecoArt Media® Line. I love that I can work on each page individually on my workstation:

Recently, I started a 9”x12” art journal from Canson® that lets you go right from art journal to wall.

To see how I created these pages, visit my blog at www.tracyweinzapfelstudios.com blog.

I share my materials, step-out photos, and more, so you can recreate similar pieces.

I recommend getting an art journal that suits your needs; Canson has a lot to choose from.

My art journals are my inspired space where I feel free to create.

Often, I’ll take my ideas and teach them on Mixed Media Monday or at a DecoArt® Workshop. I hope this inspires you get an art journal and see where it takes you!

The pages are 9”x12” mixed media 138lb paper and are repositionable, meaning you can pull them out to work then put them back into the journal.

I live in Italy, in the Tuscan countryside. I love to paint and create, and my passion has become my job. I’ve been painting with acrylics for many years, and lately I’ve become a mixed media addict. I’m also in love with watercolors.

I love learning new things!

I teach in my studio and around Italy. I love sharing my passion! Since 2013, I’ve been publishing my own projects on an Italian craft magazine, and two American painting e-magazines, Pixelated Palette® and Painting Ezine®. I’ve also published three painting books in Italy.

I design my own projects, which you can find on my website (w.w.w.piccolepassioni.it), my Etsy, and at Cabin Crafters, The Decorative Painting Store, and Cupboard Distributing.

About Nancy

I have been a decorative painter for about 25 years and have loved every minute of it! In 1994, I earned my CDA at the SDP Pittsburgh Convention in the still life category. Walking around the convention wearing my “new” CDA ribbon and hearing congratulations from friends and strangers that entire week was a thrill I will never forget!

I began designing and teaching about 20 years ago for my local chapter, Capitolers. I currently travel teach for chapters and at New England Traditions and World of Color in Washington, DC. I am most grateful for all the wonderful painting friends I have made while teaching and taking classes!

Supplies:

• Palette paper • Transfer paper • Tracing paper • Paper towels • Water basin • Stylus (to transfer pattern) • Scissors • Varnish of choice - I used Krylon® Matte Finish #1311

Preparation:

Trace pattern onto tracing paper and cut out around design, leaving about an inch border.

When painting on a rounded surface, it’s easier to transfer if the tracing’s size is minimized.

Base coat background Soft Black with #12 filbert in an oblong

When dry, transfer pattern.

Leaves:

Base coat the three green leaves Reindeer Moss Green. Float leaf’s base and center vein with Antique Green with largest angle you’re comfortable with to achieve a nice, soft shade. Deepen shading at leaves’ bases with Plantation Pine. This won’t be as wide as the Antique Green shade.

Add vein lines with Plantation Pine and #10/0 liner; thin paint slightly with water and, staying on the tip of your brush, pull fine, narrow lines. Float tints of Raw Sienna and/or Heritage Brick to leaves’ outside edges. Soften with mop.

Base coat the two yellow leaves Desert Sand. Float shading at leaves’ bases and place center vein areas with Raw Sienna.

Deepen shading at leaves’ bases with a narrower Burnt Umber float. Float tints of Raw Sienna and/or Heritage Brick on outside edges. Add Burnt Umber vein lines, as with the green leaves.

Stems coming up from ribbon are Burnt Umber. With #3 round, drybrush a choppy Raw Sienna highlight. Add smaller, brighter highlight with brush mix of Raw Sienna/Desert Sand (1:1).

Acorns:

Base coat caps Burnt Umber.

With Spicy Mustard and 1/8” angle, float little scallops over caps. Refer to large photo.

About Karen

I have loved art since I was a very young child. I remember getting an art set from Santa when I was 8, that was the beginning. I always wanted to be a cartoonist, so my style of painting is usually whimsical, but I still paint other styles when the mood hits. I travel teach but have spent most of my teaching time in Italy, which is now my second home with lots of people I love very much.

I have authored many books, patterns and magazine articles.

Just when I think my creative mind is sucked dry, it starts in again!

I love sharing the love of painting with everyone I can.

large vines and highlight strokes, 20/0 for fine detail lines, and 10/0 for cracks and details. Use 1” flat wash to base coat mink board; use 3/4” flat wash and shaders to float color, shade, and highlight. Use fabric round to drybrush highlights and mops to blend floated areas.

Refer to pattern for shading (////) and highlights (::::).

Floating a wash of color: Wet surface, then load brush and apply in same manner as shading, but with more paint. Use mop to blend, let dry then do other parts. I work from top to bottom so I don’t run into wet paint.

Preparation:

Sand wood surfaces and wipe away dust. Cover panel and board with three coats of Light Buttermilk, letting paint dry between each.

Lightly sand; wipe away dust.

Trace patterns onto tracing paper using Micron pen. Transfer basic design lines onto surfaces using stylus’s small end and transfer paper. Transfer detail lines as needed (use light transfer paper for crow and hat).

Make nail dots on frame with stylus’s large end. Dip fabric round in a bit of Moon Yellow, pounce up and down on palette paper to work into brush, and drybrush frame highlights. Dip toothbrush into slightly water down Dark Chocolate, then splatter surface by running finger down bristles.

Pumpkin Areas:

Base coat head, body, and pumpkins Tangerine; let dry and apply another coat. Paint nose Cadmium Yellow; let dry and

Drybrush Burnt Sienna cheeks.

Paint Lamp Black face features, let dry then highlight eyes with Light Buttermilk. Paint a Snow White highlight stroke on nose.

Base coat lower pumpkin leaves Soft Sage; let dry. Shade with Avocado, let dry then paint center lines. Float Burnt Sienna onto leaves (see close-up photo).

Bandanna:

Base coat with Blue Chiffon; let dry. Paint cracks with Uniform Blue. Let dry. Shade bandana with Uniform Blue.

Highlight with Snow White.

Paint fold lines Uniform Blue.

Painting Instructions: Back Mink Board:

Using 1” wash brush, dampen half of board. Load brush as for shading, but have color at least 3/4 across brush. Pull color from top down and toward the center. Quickly use mop to blend out “stop-start” areas. Move to another area and repeat until entire board has a wash of Honey Brown; also float color inside the framed area. (Two or three washes allowed to dry in between are better than one thick one.)
