Course Description

Holiday wreath
 
The One Stroke painting technique is the hottest form of decorative painting.  Everyone can learn this easy and relaxing painting style.

Joan Waff, OSCI, (One Stroke Certified Instructor), will be there every step of the way.

Let's get started! You will be having fun in this course. You will be learning bunnies, heart leaves, grass, patriotic designs, cornucopia with grapes, plums, apples, pears, and fruit leaves, as well as pumpkins, pumpkin bears, snowmen, santa, bears, trees, wreaths, poinsettias, berries, bows, holiday dogs and cats as well as completed designs.

You will spread happiness to everyone through your painting creativity. Everyone loves to receive painted items.

You can give sets of cards, bags, or boxes for gifts. People love having their own painted cards, bags, and boxes to use for their gift packaging. Giving cookies in a hand painted cardboard box is rewarding and personal. You will enjoy adding decorations to your memory pages from your scrapbook, as well as painting on a photo box or album cover.  Painting surfaces are endless. 

Painting is self-expression that can spread joy and happiness to everyone that receives it. What is so nice about this in-home art study, is that you don't need lots of room to paint and there are endless surfaces that you can use.   All you need is a small table and a chair.  Painting in apartments or condos is no problem at all. 

Added in this course are many websites for you to browse for your painting surfaces. You can use one or two elements learned for simple designs too. The creative possibilities are endless. The Folk Art paint is easily attainable and economical to use.  Let's get ready for the upcoming holidays!
