Join Lise Lorentzen for a fun online zoom rosemaling class for advanced beginners and beyond. This class is a continuation of Lise's study style series. This will be a great class for those that are interested in learning more about the Ryflylke (Old Rogaland) style of Rosemaling and creating a lovely wooden ornament for years of enjoyment. 

Rosemaling in the United States blossomed under the prolific influence of Per Lysne in the earth to mid 1900's .  In the mid 1940's a series of rosemaling folios by Knut Hovden arrived in the states and this began much of the historical study of rosemaling.  These "Gammel Rosemaling I Rogaland" (Old Rosemaling in Rogaland) had a heavy focus on  Ryfylke which is the foundation of American Rogaland.  For this class, I created two designs heavily influenced by my study of these folios.  The first side of the ornament will focus on a study from a trunk originally painted in 1815 and the second side focus on a pattern from possibly a bowl painted in 1819.   In this class we will look at the "originals" and compare them to our design and also study how detailing creates the shadowing in this style. 

 This is a two sided design project. This 8 1/4" x 6 1/8th" Round ornament may be purchased form DePalma's Custom Woodcrafts (HS-ORLL). Email DePalmascw@gmail.com to order or You may also bring your own item to paint for this class!  If you are interested in taking more classes with the series, I would suggest purchasing a number of these ornaments.

You will receive a supply list shortly after you sign up for the class. The pattern which includes the front and back design for this ornament, color sheets and written instructions  will be sent via PDF file to everyone's email a week prior to the first class.

This class will be taught in acrylics, but oil painters are welcome as well!  Palette instruction for both acrylic and oils will be included.

There are no refunds for this class seeing that everyone receives all the materials and recordings of the class whether attend live or not. Thank you for your understanding.
