Hi! My name is Mathie from Easy Painting for You
Today we are going to paint this cute dish step by step
first of all I want to tell you that I painted this plate many years ago
that’s why I'm going to paint now in a cardboard
the design
so you can apply this technique to any project
The colors that we are going to use are: moss green, iron oxide red, cadmium yellow, brown and black
you can find all these colors in our “Color Recipes For You” (free download in our web)
The first thing we do is to divide the work area into rectangles
resembling pieces of fabric that make up a patchwork
In each area we will apply a color of painting giving a layer or more until
the base is completely covered
Now we will begin work on the details
With a liner and black paint we are going to draw likes stitchings on
red areas. In the blue ones we will draw tiny spots in groups
with the brush stick. For each piece of fabric we´ll go to design
with the brush stick groups of dots
to make different designs. Now
with black paint and the liner brush
let's make some stitching as if they were pieces of fabric sewn with each other
little by little will have a patchwork
drawn the stitching around all the pieces of fabric 
it´ll seems more realistic
now let's make some shadows with brown paint
with foating gel we have to do is double load the brush
with the gel and brown paint
we will highlight all the edges of each piece of fabric
it is important that we mark all the contours on the inside
of each piece of cloth
this will give much realism to the patchwork... When the gel is dried
it loses the glaze that we are seeing now in the the red patches
then the whole will be much more natural
in my case I have painted this project in a cardboard
so it is very easy to apply for any painting project you want
The project looks slightly aged. I don´t know you
but I love it like that!!
Once finished,  let it dry
then apply 2 or 3 layers of water-based varnish
or polyurethane one
allowed to dry very well between layer and layer
I hope you enjoyed this work
and see you soon in Easy Painting For You
