What is Decorative Painting?
Decorative painting is a diverse art form utilizing a variety of techniques and media (types of paint) to decorate functional and non-functional surfaces. Because of certain teaching methods used in learning how to paint -- decorative painting is a really easy art form to learn. The use o patterns created by other artists and freehand designs allow a high degree of success without long years of academic training or inherent drawing ability.

New England Traditions Convention Registration Is Now Open!!!
Just a reminder for those of you who maybe interested in attending ..... convention class registration for New England Traditions in Marlborough MA is now open online! The convention is held from Wednesday, October 8th - 13th. Go for the whole thing or just a portion of it. It really is a nice fun convention. Great place to take from many artists!! I just completed my registration! There are several of us from the chapter who are going to NET. Looking forward to learning going out of my comfort zone and learning new mediums and taking from a few teachers whom I haven't taken from before. Below is the link to the website in case you'd like to have a look and maybe sign up!!
