Explanation

---

A few days ago, I visited my village home. In my niece's room, I noticed an old switchboard. I thought, if I painted it a bit, it would look nice. So, without delaying much, I started working on it. Today, I will share how I tried to give an old switchboard a fresh look.

Step 1

	Sketch

First, I lightly sketched around the switchboard where I planned to paint using a ruler.

---

Step 2

My rough sketch is almost complete. Now, it’s time to paint. For my entire wall painting, I used black paint. While painting, I started with the leaf on the right side first. From the picture, you can see that I have completely painted the right side leaf.

Step 3

	paint it's thin branches

Now, I will paint the thin branches.
First, I painted the thin branch on the top and then the one at the bottom.

---

Step 4

Below the switchboard, I painted the thin branch along with a small leaf.

---

Step 5

Under side leaf

Under the small leaf painted below the switchboard, I painted another leaf.

---

Step 6

	Left side of leaf

Next, I painted a large leaf on the left side of the switchboard.

---

Step 7

I have completed It's painting

Now, it’s time for the final touch. I painted the last leaf at the top left side. My painting work is complete. From the picture, you can see that it’s simple but, to me, it looks very nice.

Step 8

Finally, I took a selfie with the painting.
