"Hi I am David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village and today we are going to paint with acrylics the female figure. Okay now that we have got the female figure exactly how we want it she is not sitting on air so we have to put in it looks like this modern or art nouveau type of plastic molded chair so we are just going to take some of the orange and we will probably blend some black with it and there is a couple of little highlights here so we will fill that in. The key here is that it is not bright orange so we are going to do a couple of mixes here. Sorry we are going to have to get a couple of different brushes, my apologies. This one will work just fine. I am going to take some of this orange and I am going to mix it with the black. I probably went with too much black but it happens. It is a really watered down orange. I'm just going to fill it in, just loosely fill it and it looks like it has a cavity there so what I will do is just add some black to it and shape out this design that they have in this chair and give it some depth. So I am going black here and then coming here and for all intents and purposes this looks like she is sitting on a chair with some fabric which is fine. It is kind of a loose interpretation of this photo any way so that is how you are going to do this chair."
