Step by Step on Pictorial Painting with "House Paint" This is my Method of Hand Painting with acrylic enamels (house paint) on plywood. I use tube acrylic also. I have my local paint store mix me quarts of satin house paints in the tube acrylic Color Spectrum. Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow, Ultra Marine Blue, Yellow Oxide, Burnt Umber etc. I mix my paint direct from the palette. The painting of the following sign, "The Sheltie Pub" is a Christmas present to my wife and now hangs in our kitchen.

After priming and framing the plywood panel, I hand paint the clouds and blue background. |
 |
I print an actual size print of dog and lay down carbon paper and position dog print. |
 |
|
 |
I trace the image with a hard ballpoint pen. this transfers the image through the carbon paper onto the sign. |
 |
I then hand paint the dog. |
 |
I then paint in the mountains and lake. |
 |
I use a computer cut mask and rag in the letter color and bottom panel. I then stain the frame and paint the word "PUB" using 3 shades of gold to achieve convex lettering. |
 |
 |
I add corner scrolls bought at Hobby Lobby and a shadow box surround.
