Create the Perfect Shade of Purple for Your Food Tray

DAVID CLEMEN: Hi, I'm David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village. And today, we are going to paint a wooden food tray. All right. So moving onto the grapes which is our last still-life fruit. I'm actually going to use some purple and-but I won't use purple straight out of the tube. And you can make purple, or you can either buy purple in a tube, or you can use blue and red and you can get purple that way as well. So we'll see which one turns out how we want it. So I'm just going to take this brush here, take a little bit of the white right over here with the green and some purple. And it looks like my purple is having problems. So I'm going to get a little bit of this blue here to mix with this--and that made it really blue so I'm going to go back to get some more purple and maybe a touch of black. And more purple, and I think we might have a great color purple. There we go. So now you can just loosely fill on these circles that we drew out. And I think I'll get some of this. We'll get a little bit more purple and mix this in together. I'll need a little water. There we go. Much better. Okay, so I'm just going to fill this in. And once you get all this filled in, you can go back to your--you can go back to the white and then you can just dab that and you can kind of highlight that it's--they're individuals and come in here to give it some depth. And that is painting the grapes.
