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.
We are now on Facebook come like our page Leatherstocking Decorative Artists.

Back to Strokework Basics
Taught by Joyce Kinville
This strokework pattern is a quick and easy design. A round surface will work best for this design, ie. basket lid, stool, plate or tray, etc. Resize pattern to fit your surface. You will need a good liner brush and a #2 or #4 round brush.
Base your surface a neutral color and lightly transfer the pattern. Joyce used Delta colors but DecoArt /Americana is also ok. Below is a list of like colors in both brands.

Brown Bag Exchange
This year’s picnic will again be held at Barb Dunn’s house. We thank Barb very much for her generous invitation. Her home and yard is the perfect spot to eat, paint, swim and socialize!
We will again feature the “Brown Bag Exchange” for anyone who wants to participate. Bring your unpainted generic surface in a brown unmarked bag to the to any of the next couple of chapter meetings. Jane has volunteered to collect them and pass them out.
Paint whatever you would like on the anonymous piece you receive and we will return them to their owners at the picnic!

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!!
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me!! 😊
