This guy has gotten so many pins on Pinterest this Fall,
which got me thinking,
I should re-share the post I did with a scarecrow tutorial
Maybe you’d like to paint a scarecrow~
It’s easier than you think!
Start with a head, arms and legs~
I used white mixed with a touch of yellow and orange
Next add a swash of green for his shirt
Now add a dome for his hat
and a wavy brim
You can add Xs for his eyes while you’ve got the black out
or wait until the finishing touches
Paint the overalls with a square tipped brush,
using blue and white.
If you put both colors on your brush,
they will mix as you stroke,
creating a natural shading and depth of color
One brush stroke for each shoulder strap,
then run the brush across for the overall bib
Stroke straight down from the bib to form the pant legs
Now add the “straw,” using brown, orange and yellow.
Load a little of each color on a small tipped brush
and make quick short strokes
Add patches with stitches,
buttons on the straps,
and nose and mouth for finishing details
Speaking of scarecrows,
my newest scarecrow and his pal the witch,
will be starring in a Halloween tablescape next week!
Be sure to stop back by on Tuesday
for the Halloween Tablescape Blog Hop fun!
