I don't know where
the
SUMMER
went!
It
is
SEPTEMBER
already!
Step inside my
STUDIO
I have even started to paint
for
FALL!
Today I want to show you a project
called
HARVEST SCARECROW
The design
is
by
who
is often referred to
as
The Queen of Detail!
Kim did not disappoint with this pattern packet.....look at ALL those pages!!!
My Pallette
Antique White, Autumn Red, Avocado, Avocado Dip, Black Green, Camel, Expresso, Lamp Black, Saffron Yellow, Sand, Soft Black, Spiced Pumpkin, Traditional Burnt Sienna, Traditional Raw Sienna
Let's Paint!
I used a roller brush to apply the basecoat
to the
masonite surface.
This gives
an
eggshell texture.
It makes base coating so much easier!
Wonderful
tip
Kim!
Kim
uses so many tricks in her patterns
to
create texture and interest.
The
is
one of them !
Distressing
eliminates having to add a lot
of
shading, highlights
and
detail.
As I worked
on the
pants and jacket
I could not believe
how much they looked
like
WOOL
Another wonderful technique that Kim uses
is
which is done with
a
dry brush
The texture of the jacket
was
achieved
by
scumbling
Adding the blanket stitch to jacket
Painting the buttons
and
vines in the pocket
Starting work
on the
hat , face and hair
The lines in the hat
were done
with
sanding sticks
Painting
the
band on the hat
I painted
the
bird.
The star on hat
is a
rusty tin star
embellishment!
Now I'm working on painting
the
hair
Hair
is
done!
Don't you just LOVE his sweet face?
I used
Deco Art One Step Crackle
to
age the fence piece
The small pumpkin
was a
rusty tin embellisment
that I painted
Painting
the
pumpkin
and
sunflower pole
I bought
the
embellishment kit
that goes to this projectHere I am working on
the
harvest sign
and
sunflower petals
The sunflower petals are cut from wool
After assembling
the
sunflower
I attached it to my surface
The bow around the scarecrows neck
is
several strands of burlap that you paint
then
glue on
The
center
of the
sunflower is wool
I painted with some accent lines
The patch
on
the pants
is
cut from
burlap and painted
A pin is then attached!
Fence
and
harvest sign
I used
to
adhere the burlap
to the
background masonite panel
I then trimmed the excess edges
I sanded the shadow box frame lightly
before
coating it
with
I use a spong brush to apply this
I used a sponge roller to apply 2 good coats of
paint to the frame
with
Avocado
I used painters tape
to tape off
the
inner edge
of
the frame
I painted
that
Lamp Black
I used
my
Lowell Cornell Fine Line Writing Pen
to
paint the
blanket stitch
on
the
frame
I added some moss behind the fence
This was a fun project to paint!
provided
me with the paints
and
products
to complete this project
as part of
their
Blogger Outreach Program
and
Helping Artist Program
