Rosemaling Brushstrokes Techniques - The C and S strokes with a Flat Brush

Thursday September 12th 2024,  8 PM-10:30 PM EDT

Tuition: $27

Welcome to Rosemaling!!  The C and S brushstrokes are the core of all styles of rosemaling and here is a class that is great for beginners and for all levels of rosemalers/painters who wish to develop a strong technical foundation and brush control for their artwork.  Stroke work is truly key in developing the confidence in moving forward with Rosemaling and other decorative styles as well.

Lise will demonstrate the brushstrokes up close, focusing in on how to hold your brush, direction of your bristles for proper flow of the stroke, mediums, brushes, etc.  Worksheets/practice sheets, supply information, etc. will be provided via pdf files. There will be general discussions about styles of rosemaling, palettes, acrylic and oil paints as well.  This class will focus on developing brush technique with the Flat Brush.

This class will be taught in acrylics, but oil painters are welcome as well!

After you have signed up for the class, you will receive a supply list and an introduction to rosemaling packet to help you along the way.
