Introduction to Rosemaling Brushstrokes Part 2 - C and S strokes with a Round Brush

Monday September 23rd, 2024, from 8:00PM-10:30PM 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.  You do not need to attend the prior class to take part in this class. 

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 using the round brush for the strokework.

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

You will receive a supply list and introduction to rosemaling packet shortly after you sign up for the class.

This class will be recorded and you will receive the recording via an unlisted YouTube video for you to refer back to. Scans of my work will also be forwarded to the class as well. You do not need to attend this class live in order to receive the recording and extra material sent out with this class.
