Fresh Squeezed Lemonade painted sign.
It’s that time of year, who can resist a little lemonade.
I painted this fun sign for the shop.
Here’s some pics of the process:
1. Using an old tongue and groove cabinet door (secured with mending plates on the back) I painted it off white.
Then lime green for the LEMONADE:
2. Then fushia for the fresh squeezed:
3. Keep layering colors and add pitcher and lemons detail.
4. Sand to distress.
5. Stain with Minwax antique walnut and seal with satin poly.
A few detail shots:
