Overpainting

I enjoy finding a piece of art at a thrift shop or a yard sale & bringing it back to life. Overpainting is a term for adding a final layer of paint or as the word implies “painting over”.

I found this fruit bowl at a thrift shop for $1.99. I brightened it with color which made the fruit stand out along with adding a pop of color to the tablecloth.

It now has a new life of richness & color & boldly hangs in the kitchen. Even if you don’t consider yourself to be artistic, overpainting is fun & easy to do.
