1.       Double load the 3/4” flat brush with Thicket and Fresh Foliage. Add a touch of Wicker White to the Fresh Foliage side. Using the chisel edge of the brush and leading with the Fresh Foliage/Wicker White side, pull strokes to make the pine needles.

2.       Continue to overlap the strokes. Occasionally flip the brush to lead with the Thicket side to add dimension and interest.

3.       Load the #12 flat brush with Engine Red, then side load with Berry Wine by stroking next to the puddle of paint. Using the flat side of the brush and keeping the Berry Wine to the left, paint the “S” shaped strokes to make the ribbon.

4.       Load the #2 script liner with Fresh Foliage. Paint a line to each side of the red ribbon.

5.       Load the #2 script liner with Wicker White. Paint a white stripe on the right side of the ribbon.
