Draw a Design on Your Food Tray Before Painting it

Video Transcript

DAVID CLEMEN: Hi, I'm David Clemen on behalf Expert Village. And today, we're going to paint a wooden food tray. All right. Now we've got our supplies and we've got the tray and we know kind of what we want to do. What I want to do is I'm just going to put a little kind of still life of fruit inside this food tray, and you can do your design on paper. And basically if I was going to do it on paper, I would just kind of draw out my orange, and maybe an apple over here, and maybe some bananas. And just do it really loose and kind of getting an idea of where you want to do it. And maybe you could put some grapes in the background. And if you want, you could actually put this stuff in a bowl like this, you know, just get your basic idea of what you want to do. Now I have that, I'm going to draw real loosely because I'm going to be painting so it's not going to be super detailed. It's just going to be kind of a light rendering of a still life. So I'm going to put bananas over here, just really loose, want to get that there. I'm going to do an apple here, maybe I'll do two apples now that I'm looking at it. And then I'll put some grapes in the front. Okay. And now I have basically what I'm going to do. So now, I have two apples, I need to put some oranges in there. Okay. And I got to finish the rest of this banana. So I'm actually going to make three bananas. And I was going to put it in a bowl, but it's in a food tray so I'm just going to leave it as it is. And I usually try to do things in odd numbers. For some reason, one or three or five looks is more interesting than two. So I've got one object, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. So in keeping with that, I'm going to add one more banana. So I've nine objects in this tray. And that's drawing on the tray.
