Linda Underwood – “Flowering White Lily” -
Acrylics - Based on design by Jean Zawicki - The Decorative Painter Magazine 2013 #2 – page 95
Surface: 6" x 12" wrapped canvas or surface of your choice
Palette: DecoArt Americana: *Plantation Pine, *Bleached Sand, *Light Avocado, Snow White. Antique Maroon, Brandy Wine (optional) Burnt Sienna, Cool White, Jade Green, Midnite Green. Light French Blue, Bright Yellow, Baby Blue (or Delta Blue Jay). Those marked with * are the most used. Other colors use minute amounts. I have all the colors and will share. I did not use Charcoal Grey as listed in the Decorative Painter article.
Brushes: #8 Flat, 1/4" Angle, 1/2" Angle, #4 Filbert, #0 Long Liner, #10/0 Short Liner
Techniques taught: S Strokes, Water droplets, Wash techniques, Defining and fading veins, pattern refining, reflective light, tinting, floating techniques, how to achieve sheer floats, using enhancing mediums.
Prep Instructions:
Paint background with DecoArt Plantation Pine. I used a 2" foam roller. It may take 3 coats for complete opaque coverage. I usually mix my first coat with DecoArt All Purpose Sealer: Paint - 1:1. Plantation Pine is a semi-opaque color.
Enlarge/reduce pattern to fit your surface.
Transfer pattern, excluding stamens and pistil, to surface. Pattern is designed to have one petal extending around onto the side of a stretched canvas. Depending on your surface, you may want the petal to just go off the front edge and not wrap or may want to shift the pattern to get the petal edge on the front. You may need to adjust that petal (re-draw) if shifting places your right side too far over. Let me know if you do not have the magazine and I'll email you the pattern.

Patty Pfund – Sunflower Canvas Tote by Beth Wagner
published in PaintWorks October 2010
Page 32
Surfaces:
Canvas Tote, Apron, Brush Case, or Fabric Surface of your choice
Palette: DecoArt SoSoft Acrylics
Antique Gold Hauser Dark Green
Burnt Sienna Hauser Light Green
Cadmium Orange Island Blue
Cadmium Yellow Lamp Black
Dark Chocolate White
Brushes:
#4 Round, #6 & #10 Shader and a Liner
Misc. Supplies:
Black permanent marker, black charcoal pencil for light fabric or white charcoal pencil for dark fabric
Regular Painting Supplies:
Wet palette, brush basin, masking tape, stylus, and paper towels.
Prep:
1. Wash the bag to remove sizing, DO NOT use fabric softener or dryer sheet.
2. With the wax side against the fabric, iron freezer paper to the back side of your fabric. This keeps
the paint from bleeding through to other parts of the bag. Secure the bag to a board using masking
tape or pins to keep the fabric taut. I used a piece of foam board cut to fit inside my bag.
3. Trace the pattern on tracing paper, then turn the pattern over and go over the pattern lines
with a charcoal pencil.
4. Place the pattern on your fabric, and rub over the pattern lines with the end of your brush,
stylus or pencil to transfer the pattern to your fabric.
5. Cover the back of your bag AND anywhere that there is no design with Press & Seal. This
protects those areas from accidentally dipping or smearing into paint.

Kimberli Fougeron - “Bald Eagle” by Janelle Johnson, CDA, TDA
A note from Kimberli: I have used colored pencils for years to make patterns for stained glass projects. I found people have a hard time visualizing a piece without colors. I also enjoy coloring with pencils with my grandson. The artist comes out in him and even at six he likes the “professional” look. Instead of the colorless blender I have used tissues and Q-tips.
Those of you wanting to do the Bald Eagle 2003 by Janelle Johnson will need to go on line and purchase the E-packet from: www.janellejohnson.com .
Janelle Johnson’s project is decoupage onto a wood plaque. We will not be doing that. I will provide 6”x8” black paper which I found that the head shows up and fits on nicely and allows you to put it in a card stock frame later. She provides you with a list of colors but I found as long as you have a variety of grays and yellows and at least basic white, brown, and black you can get the desired results without the exact colors listed. I am a firm believer in using what you have. You should have at least a basic color pencil kit in your tools of the trade.
I am not doing a rose, however if you don’t want to buy the packet for the Bald Eagle I have found a fall leaf that has no copy write restrictions as long as I promote: Colored Pencil Basics by Cynthia Knox. It fits nicely on white paper I will provide.
I will be going over color pencil basics and will provide paper to practice on.
All you need to bring is your color pencils. Relax and have a no stress fun time.
You will need:
· Hand-held pencil sharpener and something to put shavings in.
· Grey graphite paper
· Stylus for transferring the design
· A soft brush to dust off the project.
· White and black permanent parkers fine tip
· Colorless blender
· Erasers both black and white ones. Kneaded erasers seems to lift of color.
· Bring what color pencils you have. (Always sharpen new color pencils with and electric sharpener the first time. Hand-held is fine after that.)
