If the canvas floor cloth is not pre-primed, apply 1 coat of Gesso to the entire surface. Allow cloth to dry. Sand and apply a second coat. Allow to dry.

Basecoat the center of the coaster with 2 coats of Barn Red.
Transfer the pattern with the light transfer paper.
Basecoat the pear with Golden Brown. Float a shade on the left side of the pear with Burnt Umber. Load the Dynasty® Series 200 brush, size #12 with Straw. Soft dry brush the bottom center of the pear. Load the same dirty brush with Ivory and repeat the soft dry brush technique.
Load the liner brush with thinned Black. Paint the blanket stitch around the pear. Add the stem and the detail stitching on the pear with Burnt Umber.
Load the Black Gold® Series 206L liner brush, size 10/0, with Golden Brown and paint the blanket stitch around the inner edge of the border.
Antiquing. Make a wash of Burnt Umber on your palette. Brush the wash over the entire design. Wipe off with a clean rag if too dark.
To finish, apply 2 to 3 coats of Delta Ceramcoat Exterior/Interior Matte Varnish on the front and back of the coaster (mug rug). Allow coaster to dry thoroughly between each application.
