A woven sewing basket holds balls of gold, purple and green yarn. A patchwork quilt of blue-green, pink and cream triangles hangs over its edge. Spools of thread, a red pincushion, scissors and a notebook sit in front. It has more to paint but clear shapes, so it's a good next step. Your paint stays inside the lines, so the quilt patches stay neat.
How to paint it
- Choose Watercolour for a soft look or Oil for a bolder one. Make the brush big and paint the wall and table cream. Add soft shadows under each object with Darker.
- Paint the basket light brown and the yarn balls gold, purple and green. Add their shade with Darker.
- Paint the quilt triangles blue-green, pink and cream. Add the shade in its folds with Darker.
- Paint the spools red, blue and green, with light brown ends. Paint the pincushion red, the notebook blue-green and the scissors light grey.
- Draw the pins, the loose yarn and the notebook band with the Pencil. Dab a little of the palest cream on the scissor blades with Gouache.
