Roses and Daisies E-Pattern By Donna Hodson

The Roses and Daisies E-Pattern by Donna Hodson is a downloadable PDF that includes color photo, drawings and full painting instructions.

SUPPLIES:
SURFACE: This 9” basket lid was custom cut to fit a particular basket. Any other 9” round surface would
work. This can be enlarged or reduced for other surfaces. If enlarging or reducing, different sized brushes
may need to be used for the stroke roses and filler flowers.
PAINT: DecoArt Americana Acrylic
Antique Gold, Avocado, Blue Haven, Cadmium Yellow, Cranberry Wine, French Mauve*, Hauser Light
Green, Hauser Medium Green, Macha or Olive*, Plantation Pine, Province Blue, Prussian Blue, Snow White
Note: * Denotes discontinued colors. Substitute Blush Pink for French Mauve, and any bright yellow-green
for Macha or Olive. Prussian Blue may be discontinued so Ultra Blue Deep will work.

1” wash for base coating
Good quality size 10 flat with a good chisel edge for roses. Select a smaller size if reducing and a larger
size if enlarging very much.
