If you like this look, let this painting inspire you to create your own picture. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instructions: 1. Base coat the canvas and while the paint is still wet, paint in all of the other colors (except gold) in a wet-in-wet technique. Let the canvas dry. 2. Paint all of the wooden parts first in red and then mix brown into the red to give the pieces dimension. Let the pieces thoroughly dry. 3. Glue the wooden decorative elements onto the vase. 4.
