6. Add White dots and highlighting by using your #4 round brush. Load the brush fully with white. To make the dots you’ll want your paint to be a little thinner consistently, but not too thin or it will run!  Add highlighting to the eggs as well.  Next take your tag light green and add vines, leaves, and a little grass in the basket.
