This is a door crown, it goes above your door and brightens up your house.

The length of the door crown is not quite the width of the top of your door.  Allow the height to be able to fit between your door and your ceiling.

Base coat your board on the top edge only with burnt Umber JO Sonjar's paints,  coat a couple of times.  Once dry rub the top of the edge of your board with a dark brown nugget.   Then paint a few coats of background Jo Sonjars background colour paint in Island Sand.  Allow to dry between coats.  Sand the top edge only and do this gentle with a medium sand paper, to bring off only a little bit of paint in sections like in the picture.  The nugget creates the distress look and allows you to remove little sections of paint, to create a rustic look.

The strawberries are painted with Geranium designer palette series Jo Sonjar paint, put a little green oxide on one side and mix in with the geranium and put a little indian yellow on other side and do the same thing.  I put little comer strokes on my strawberries and painted leaves with green oxide, shaded with Pine green and warm white.

The violets are diox purple two strokes dark then add a bit of warm white, to make lighter then the middle stroke at the bottom is much lighter still.  The veins on the petals are gold, and comer strokes of Napthol Chrimson and one stroke on either side with Titanium white,
The leaves are Green oxide, shade with pine green and warm white.

The ribbon roses you do on the sugar bowl are with Geranium and warm white, place half colour of each on end of pencil end and then use a styles and swirl around, then add leaves with your liner brush, with green oxide, pine green and warm white.   I used texture paste mixed in with warm white paint in the sugar bowl and on the top of the strawberry tea cake, and in  the centre of cake. The red in the middle of cake is geranium.  The cake is lightly painted with a wash of Raw Sienna.

The skin is Skin tone base shaded with provincial Beige and the eyes are pacific blue, and cobalt blue hue.  The eye lashes are carbon Black, with comors of titanium white and a white dot.

Her dress is Sapphire blue and dry brushed with white, and ultra deep blue.  Flowers are geranium


and dry brushed with a little yellow deep, and shaded with burgundy.  Dots in middle of flowers yellow deep and warm white.

The hair is a light wash of Turners yellow, with liner work of provincial beige. Lips are Geranium.

The feathered leaves are pine green,  warm white and green oxide, use a flat brush and move your brush from side to side.

The Blue hat is cobalt blue hue, with white floated on the top. The sugar bowl is warm white with sapphire blue floated around the edge.  The milk Jug is the same.  If you need any help, please ask.
Just have fun.
