Come Paint With Us! An Introduction To Decorative Painting

COME PAINT WITH US!

Decorative painting is an easy-to-learn painting method where the painter traces a design outline onto a painting surface, then applies basic brushstrokes to give that surface decorative accents.

Learning the basic brushstrokes is the key to this painting method. Each lesson contains vital information you will need to practice your stroke work, prepare your surfaces, and finish your projects with ease and satisfaction.

It is our hope that by the time you have worked through the course guide and instructional DVD, you will be able to use decorative painting techniques to add color to home accessories, make gifts for friends and family, or simply have fun! The possibilities are endless.
