If the design is in any way incorrect, corrections can now be easily made. I now squeeze one-half of an oil tube color into a jar. I repeat this process with all seven colors using one color per jar. Then I add enough lacquer into each of the jars, stirring with the popsicle stick until the paint is smooth flowing. The amount of lacquer will differ for each jar, since consistency varies from one oil color to another.
Gold scrolls with the beginnings of the yellow flower bouquet.
Stage Three T he scroll will be the first part of the design that I will work on. In my left hand, a rag will cradle a jar of thinner and a jar of gold. In the center will be strokes pulled toward the center from the top and the similar scroll. This is the final gold trim design that completely covers the outer rim of the tabletop. Table top with scrolls, and yellow and red bouquets above the legs.
