Twined and Vined

The simplicity of this painted vine may give you the confidence to try it out on your own frame. Using this type of custom painting allows you to control the color as well as the degree of detail for the embellishment. Practice leaf shapes and outlining on a separate board or poster paper until the right color and style emerges. Whitewashing over the finished design can also give it an aged appearance and will tone down the colors a bit.
