! Curved crescent stroke:! Adjust the amount of curve depending on what you are painting! Load the shader across the chisel edge and hold in an upright position! Starting on the chisel edge, set the brush down using light pressure and pull the stroke

to the left! Increase pressure as you move down and form the curve, the wide part of the ‘C’! Gradually decrease pressure, slowing down to allow time for the hairs to return to a

chisel edge, then slide to the right to form the end of the ‘C’! The flowers are painted in a random color palette: Sapphire, Grape Juice, Lavender and

Periwinkle! Load the 4 shader across the chisel edge with a flower color! Slightly side-load with Snow White! Each flower petal is a crescent stroke, stroking five to create a flower or a couple for a

partial flower

Please do not make copies of or sell this pattern.

! Dance centers in with the sm Texture brush and Pineapple; then dance a touch of Snow White for highlight

! For proper use of the Texture brush, use the following method:

! Dampen the bristles with water to start the separation of bristles; tap bristles into the paint on your palette

! Holding perpendicular to your palette, dance it up and down to get some of the paint off – keeping the paint sparse on the brush.

! Note: this brush can be used on the whole foot or just the toe

! Tap lightly on the surface, dance with the brush up and down, rolling the brush in different directions in between your fingers when it is up in the air (like dancing the twist – light on your feet)

! Allow some drying time in between dances so the paint sets up and you don’t end up with a globby or muddy look

! One-stroke leaves:! Load the shader across the chisel

edge. Starting on the chisel edge, apply pressure and turn, slowly lifting the brush to allow the hairs to return to the chisel edge. End stroke by lifting onto the chisel edge

! Large leaves: Evergreen side-load Desert Cactus - 8 shader

! Secondary leaves: Desert Cactus - 6 shader

! Filler leaves: Black Green - 2 shader
