Welcome to or perhaps it is welcome back to Rosemaling!! 

The combination of C and S strokes and detailing will be covered in the class in the creation of Freehand Telemark Design. 

  This 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.

  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.  Any worksheets/practice sheets, supply information, etc. will be provided via pdf files a few days prior to class There will be general discussions about styles of rosemaling, palettes, acrylic and oil paints as well.  This class will focus on techniques using the flat brush.
