Painting Gourds

10 years ago

I have started my painting spree. I basecoated some Gourds, here is a pic of the fist three yellow coats and then the last with the colors. I am using Decoart Americana the yellow coats and then Their Traditions line for the colors. I add extender to the Traditions and they go on like oils.

I think I have to put the pics in the Gallery?

Rosy, I love the colors. Did you blend colors on each, or does the lighting make it look that way?

Hi Color, yes I did blend and stipple. I blended as I painted and then on some I went back and stippled blended. I will start to paint the design on them soon.
