<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Using your chip brush,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">make sure it is as dry as possible.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lightly dip just the tips into the white paint.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wipe off on a paper towel.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Holding your brush with very light pressure at first,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">pull across surface.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Use a back and forth motion</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and gradually add more pressure to the edges</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">to really fade them out with white.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I get too heavy in spots,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I use a damp paper towel to correct and wipe off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then just reapply dry brush white.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Keep going until you get it as distressed, worn, and weathered</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">as you like.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sanding all edges now where you had rubbed the wax candle</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">will remove any paint and leave a worn edge.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I thought I would share a few painting tips</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">on the pheasant feather wall art.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First I love that it is a big long piece.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used 2 cedar fence boards, 55.5" long.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So the piece measures 11 x 55.5".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let that dry.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Paint the next coat a white and grey mix,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Using a a folded piece of cardstock paper,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I dipped in tan and outlined the feather.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first tan color I used ended up being too light.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I would start with a mix of Folk art camel and Raw Sienna.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used a brown stain too.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On the first go round,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I drug wide brown stain stripes with the cardstock.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You could use a dark brown paint. It will dry faster.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then I painted a little more raw sienna and brown to make it darker.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then I used a brush to paint a little black over the stripes.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gosh, I know it's been awhile.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Change is in the works for my art and I'm excited about it!</span></div>
