Tole Stroke Design    Painted on a Burnt Umber acrylic gesso background, on a 10" round canvas. The colours used were, Ivory Black, Burnt Umber, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Orange and Titanium White. Zest-it Clear Painting Medium was used to give smooth brush work and to facilitate blending. For the large leaves a 1/2" Sable/synthetic flat brush, for the small leaves No. 2 Rigger, No. 6 and No. 2 Round Sable brush for the Daises all the fine line work was completed with the Rigger. A good exercise in double loading, brush control, blending, tonal values and balance using just five paint colours.
