Preparation: Lightly sand your masonite with #220 grit. Tack off. Apply one coat Deco Art’s #DA207 Soft Sage. Use a very fine texture roller. When dry, sand again lightly. Tack off. Apply second coat. It should be smooth like an ”egg shell”. LET DRY. Sand, tack off. Apply design using White or Grey Transfer Paper.

Basic Mixes: YT WW B G

W + CYP W + YT RU + UMB CYP + UMB
Underlining Indicates a Basic Mix
Helpful Hints:
Mix a value scale of soft greens. ** means this is where you start mixing **
HL L M D VD
= = = = =
L + W + NYL W + NYL + G L+G+B M+G+B D+B
Start in the HL area first. Apply a thin even layer with a Cheri Blender Brush #10 using a loose XXX stroke. Then work into L value, then M and D. Mop with a Cheri #3 mop. Paint around the vase, over the flower & leaf area and around the doily. Incorporate the shadows as you go. Let Dry ! TRANSFER the flowers and their leaves in position on the dry background. Doily & Vase White:
Mix a grey green value scale for the doily and the white parts of the vase. **
HL = L = M = D = VD =
WW M + W + NYL D + W + NYL VD + W + B VD Background
Block In & Pat Blend. Trim the doily with a broken line of flower color. Add highlights of YT and WW up front on the right. Vase:
Create a value scale of Red Violets. **
HL = L = M = D = VD =
W+L W + M + NYL D + W + (NYL) VD + W RU + AC
The light source is on the upper right so as you look at the value placement map on page 14 you will see the majority of light values on the right side of the vase tummy.
For object to look real it has to have Value change (light, medium and dark). This project has an upper right light source. Every thing reflects this single light source. In an effort to maintain the integrity of the oil paint, while speeding up its drying time, I use Alkyds of matching colors in the slow drying colors: White, Yellows and Reds. Titanium White comes in Oil and Alkyd, Cad. Yellow Pale Oil matches Cad. Yellow Light Alkyd and Bright Red Oil matches Cad. Red Medium Alkyd, Alizarin Crimson comes in Oil and Alkyd. A half and half combination of oil and alkyd leaves the paint on the palette workable all day. And the cast shadows will be under and to the left. See Figure 1 Block in the values starting with the lightest adding darker values, blending as you go. Mop with a Cheri #3 mop to eliminate excessive brush marks. LET DRY ! When dry, glaze on additional highlights using Winsor & Newton’s Blending & Glazing Medium. To Glaze:
Adding a glaze over a dry painting allows the value changes established in the first stage to show through the glaze which is very transparent. Moisten the area with Winsor & Newton’s Blending and Glazing

San Pedro Calla Lilies
In 2017, I hosted a workshop in San Pedro, California with my great friend and fellow artist, April Numamoto. The gardens around the clubhouse had the most amazing flowers to include calla lilies. I took a lot of reference photos for future paintings and shortly after the workshop I designed and painted these! Hope you enjoy painting these simple, yet elegant flowers as much as I did.

Instructions: Load #6 with Fast Dry Medium (FDM); work into some Raw Sienna and paint a thin layer around the Figure 1
Figure 2
• 1 part Sap Green to 1 part Paynes Gray = dark green mixture • 1 part Sap Green to 1 part Paynes Gray + White = soft sage green • 1 part Prussian Blue to 3 parts White = darker Sandy’s Blue • 1 part Sap Green to 1 part Prussian Blue = aqua (add touches of white to lighten the color to desired shade) • 1 part Sap Green to 1 part Cad Yellow Light = light green mixture (add touches of white to lighten the color to desired shade) line drawing. Wash the brush and dry well. Dip the tip of the brush into FDM and work into some Sap Green; paint the leaves. Keeping the Sap Green in the brush, load a bit more FDM and work into some Paynes Gray; slip slap the flat of the brush here and there on the background. Wipe the brush off, load with FDM and work into some Dioxazine Purple. Slip slap some of this color on the upper half of the canvas. Wash the brush and dry well. Load the brush with FDM and work into some White. Load a touch more FDM and work into a little Prussian Blue. Be careful – this color is strong. Mix the Prussian Blue and White together on the palette and add a touch more FDM if it needs to be thinned. Paint all over the canvas as shown, wiping off the brush and reloading as needed. Figures 1, 2 & 3 Wipe the brush off. Starting at the top of the canvas and using the flat of the brush, soften and lightly blend the background. Don’t over blend!
Helpful Hint: Wipe the brush off often to keep the colors from getting muddy. The brush will start to dry out and the bristles split – so simply wash out the brush, dry well and with a light touch, go back to softening the background..
Load the brush with FDM and work into some Raw Sienna; paint a thin layer on the calla lilies and stems. Wash the brush out and load with White. Slide along the chisel edge of the brush to outline the top of the big calla lily as shown. Figures 4 & 5 Load brush with FDM and work into some White. You want a clean paper towel in your other hand so that you can wipe the brush off before reloading it. Start at the top right of the flower, and with

Soul of a Horse I love animals of all kinds, but horses have always been my favorite. I especially like to do an animals eyes; you can see the soul of the animal in them. Here I hope you can capture the soul of this mare’s eye in this painting as well as learning to layer the hair to look lifelike.

Surface:
Preparation:
I painted this on an 8” x 10” Masonite Board. You can use wood, but make sure to seal and sand to a smooth surface first. Masonite doesn’t need to be sealed and already has a smooth surface.
Base coat surface with True Ochre using the sponge, then sponge in Raw Umber around the outer edges and in the corners fading out towards the center. Sponge in Cadmium Yellow more in the center and fading out toward the edges into the Raw Umber. Finally, highlight with Moon Yellow from the center fading out ward. Lightly sand. Figure 1
DecoArt Americana® Acrylics: • True Ochre DA143 • Raw Umber DA130 • Cadmium Yellow DA010 • Moon Yellow DA07 • Lamp Black DA067 • Slate Grey DA068 • Grey Sky DA111 • Graphite DA161 • Zinc DA304 • French Mauve DA186 • Warm White DA239 • Snow White DA01 • Raw Sienna DA093
• Mane with Lamp Black • Darkest areas on body and head with Graphite • Middle grey is Slate Grey • Highlight areas are Grey Sky We will be adding lots of layers so don’t fret over this too much at this time. Eyes: Wet large brush with clean water, then lightly tap on paper towel then dampen one eye at a time with water. With 6/0 Round and Warm White thinned with water, tap on the bottom of the dampened eye and let the paint disperse. If you get too much, lightly tap with a small mop. Add a stronger highlight at the top left of the left eye. Figure 3
Scharff Brushes • 1/4”, 3/4” Filbert Comb Series 430 • #2, #6 Moon Filbert Series 425 • #2 Filbert Cats Tongue Series 429 • 6/0 Round Series 405 • #8 Faux Squirrel 1827 Wave Filbert by Dynasty • Small Mop • Any brush to use to dampen areas with water • Small dry brush
The rest the base coating will be done loosely with the #6 Scharff Filbert and paint thinned with water as follows: Be sure to pull the paint strokes in the direction of the hair growth. I always pull fur or hair towards myself. If you work the same way, turn the piece accordingly.
Transfer the pattern. Base coat the ears, eyes, nostrils, and bottom lip with a solid color of Lamp Black. Figure 2
Other Supplies • Wet Palette • Paper Towels • Grey or White Graphite Paper • Stylus • Fine Sand Paper • Wedge Make-up Sponge • DecoArt® DuraClear Satin Varnish DS21
Dampen and do the right eye the same way, but a stronger highlight will be on the top right of the right eye. With the 20/0 Scroller add a thin line at the bottom and up the right side of each eye. Fill in the eye lashes on the left eye with Warm
