It's thyme to show you a Prim Bunny

Today 

I am going to show you a design 

by

Terrye French 

that I have painted

called

PRIM BUNNY BOWL 

The original design was painted by

Sharon Bond

for 

PAINTING WITH FRIENDS

Sharon used a wood bowl for the design

I used a small wood breadboard

to complete my project

My Pallette 

Deco Art Americana Acrylics

Honey Brown, Lamp Black, Traditional Burnt Umber, Driftwood, Bleached Sand, Warm White, Shading Flesh, Dark Chocoalate, Wisteria, French Grey Blue, Celery Green, Antique Green, Marigold and Mocha

Supplies

Homespun, grungy tag, old tooth brush for paint spatter, white candle, sanding disc, graphite paper, fine line permanent black marker

I first base coated my bread board using

 Lamp Black

When dry I took a candle and rubbed areas that I wanted to look worn,

mostly around the edges and the handle.

I then painted over the Lamp Black with Honey Brown.

I used my sanding disc to sand the areas where I had applied the wax

allowing the initial Lamp Black base coat to show

I used graphite paper to transfer the 

bunny design

I then base coated the bunny

I dry brushed the highlights

Painting the basket and crow

Adding the final details!

I used diluted Lamp Black and a liner brush to out line my project

I applied 2 coats 

of 

Americana Dura Clear Matte Varnish 

to my finished piece

When dry I used diluted 

Lamp Black 

with an old toothbrush to spatter my piece

I used a piece of paper to cover my bunny 

and 

only spattered the

background!

I made a "grungy" tag and wrote 

Prim Bunny 

on it!

(you can find my grunging recipe by clicking on the recipe tab at top of page)

I tied my tag on with homespun

Here is my finished Prim Bunny project!

DecoArt provided me with the paints to complete this project 

as part of their 

Helping Artist Program

and

Blogger Outreach Program

"Each day is a new canvas to paint upon. 

Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, 

and 

at the end of the day you don't look at it 

and 

wish you had painted something different."
