This part can be as easy or as advanced as you want it to be. For a simple scarecrow, painting the nose red or orange in the shape of a triangle.
Eyes can be oval or triangle shaped as well.
Always allow one color of paint to dry before applying the next. To paint the cheeks, use a dry stipple brush and work off most of the red paint blotting it on a paper towel. Using a pouncing motion gently pounce the cheeks in a circular motion. Feather lightly around the edges. Using a black paint pen or sharpie permanent marker, outline the nose.
