Before Step 1, I previously washed the 2 cans of oil paint, prepared a mixture of equal amounts of school glue and white acrylic paint, so that the paint would adhere better to the brass and with a piece of 220 grit sandpaper I sanded the surface of the cans after washing, I have no record of this because the people who support me with the photos were not at home at that time. But these steps have to be done previously.

**Paso 2:**
Una vez seca la base con un pañito limpio frote suavemente la superficie de las latas.Esto lo hago para quitar la porocidad de la pintura y que quede mas suave la superficie. Luego,sobre la pieza de ceramica coloque verde pistacho y durazno para la base de una lata.La otra coloque azul claro y morado. Con la ayuda de la esponja coloque las bases en cada lata dejando secar entre capa y capa.A cada lata le aplique 2 mano de pintura acrÃlica.
**Step 2:**
Once the base is dry, gently rub the surface of the cans with a clean cloth to remove the porosity of the paint and make the surface smoother. Then, on the ceramic piece I put pistachio green and peach for the base of one can, and light blue and purple for the other. With the help of the sponge, place the bases on each can and let them dry between coats. 2 coats of acrylic paint were applied to each can.

**Paso 3:**
Ya lista la base de los colores de cada una de las latas, decidi realizar dos tipos de pinceladas para cada una de ellas.Para la lata motiada de verde y durazno pinte una composición de Girasoles. Para ello, primeramente hice una doble carga del pincel plano 12 con verde oscuro y negro la cual descargue sobre la ceramica para unificar los tonos y realice las hojas que van por debajo del Girasol las cuales tienen que ser más oscura para destacar los claroscuros de la composición. Las otras hojas las realice un una doble carga de verde oscuro y blanco para resaltar las hojas que van hacia la luz.
**Step 3:**
Once the base colors for each of the cans were ready, I decided to make two types of brushstrokes for each of them.For the green and peach motif can I painted a composition of Sunflowers. For this, first I made a double load of the flat brush 12 with dark green and black which I unloaded on the ceramic to unify the tones and I made the leaves that go below the Sunflower which have to be darker to highlight the chiaroscuro of the composition. The other leaves were made with a double load of dark green and white to highlight the leaves that go towards the light.
**Step 4:**
With a worn and open brush I loaded dark brown and paint in a circular way and put small touches of black to give the texture of the center of the sunflower, then with the flat brush 12 I made the petals of the flower which I brushed again but this time with a double load of peach and white. I retouched again the center of the flower with black and added small dots in black in its center and then I dipped it with white, to complete the composition I made a border of leaves on both edges of the upper and lower can and I decorated the composition with small white flowers and bouquets.
Step 5:
With the flat brush 18 I made a double load of white,yellow and a pisca of peach.Discharge on the ceramic piece and paint the Cala.In the same way I did with the leaves, I made a double load with green and white with a pisca of yellow discharge on the ceramic to unify the tones and make the leaves pressing in a dezig-zag way. With the liner brush 1 loaded with dark and light green I made the stems of the bouquet and the arabesques of the composition.the small blue daisies I also made them with liner 1 loading its tip with royal blue and white, and the center I put it with dark brown with a worn brush as I did the center of the sunflowers.for the bow I used the round brush 3 loaded with white and duranzo and paint the bow then I put small white dots that I did with the end of the brush.
