What Colors To Use To Create Faux Cherrywood Grain Painting

A quick response to a reader request:

Creating Faux Wood is discussed on another page : Painting Faux Wood 

This fake wood graining would require a different color combination.  Still using the yellow ocher undercoat and Raw Sienna over glaze.  This will be RED, wait for it to dry.  Then over glaze again with the tiniest bit of Burnt Umber to tone down the red. This should work perfect.

Let us know how your new faux cherry wood project comes out. :) Oh…and send pictures, we love to post our readers projects.
