PREPARATIONSand sign and wipe clean. Seal sign and let dry. Sand lightly again and wipe clean. Refer to photo throughout for painting. Transfer pattern and detail lines as needed. Let dry between coats and steps.

PAINTING INSTRUCTIONSBasecoat• Hat: Terra Cotta• Scarecrow face: Warm Beige• Sign: Toff ee• Mittens: Country Red• Scarf: Hauser Medium Green

Scarecrow faceAdd a little Country Red to Warm Beige to darken it up. Use this mix to lightly shade around the outside edge of the face and all around the outside edge of the lower part of face under the scarf. Apply pattern lines for facial details. Using Light Buttermilk, basecoat his eyes. Using Burnt Orange, basecoat his nose. Using Lamp Black, add the pupils to the eyes, line the eye-brows, lines under his eyes and apply the mouth lines. Using Heritage Brick, shade the lower edge of his nose. Using Snow White, apply the highlight mark to the top of his nose and the tiny detail lines in his eyes. Use Country Red to dry brush on his cheeks. Use the Country Red + Warm Beige ‘mix’ to shade on the face, around the outside edge of the nose.

SignUsing Cocoa, lightly shade all around the outside edge of the sign. Transfer the pattern lines for the word Autumn. Using Burnt Sienna, basecoat in the word ‘Autumn’ and stipple in the word ‘Welcome’ us-ing the stencil.

hat until you are happy with the look. Using Country Red and Hauser Medium Green, dry brush color here and there, until you are happy with the look. Use Lamp Black to apply the ‘hashtag’ marks.

HairAdd a little Primary Yellow to Camel to brighten it up. Apply hair strokes fi rst with this mix. Then using Dark Chocolate, Burnt Sienna and Lamp Black, add fewer strokes until you are happy with how it looks.

ScarfApply the plaid lines with Camel and Country Red. Shade the scarf as shown with Hauser Dark Green.

MittensShade along the back side and lower edge of the mit-tens with Antique Maroon. Apply the highlight mark with Snow White.

FINISHINGLet dry completely. Make sure all pattern lines are erased. Apply several light coats of Matte Varnish. Let dry. I used 24 gauge wire to hang the sign and added a raffi a bow. Enjoy!

Note: Change the wording up to suit your needs. A couple possible ideas are: It’s Fall Y’All or simply the word ‘Welcome’.
