STEP 3: Add a little more Snow (Titanium) White for the mid-value grapes and finally a little more for the lightest grapes. Use Snow (Tita- nium) White on the liner brush to separate the grapes. Use a glint of Snow (Titanium) White here and there for shine.
Vines for grapes are done with the liner brush and Raw Sienna plus a little Plantation Pine plus a little water.
When dry, use a Magic Rub Eraser to remove any remaining pat- tern lines. Apply a coat of DecoArt Varnish.
MAKE A GREETING CARD
Use the pattern to make a greeting card using the box pattern! Splatter the card with Sable Brown using an old toothbrush and flip the edges of the brush with your finger. Splatter a little Celery Green in the background as well. Do as much or as little as you like. Transfer the pattern with dark graphite.
