Brush Control with a Detail Brush- Foundations in Stroke Work Series part three - Detailing and Line Work of Rosemaling

Monday October 26th, 2026 - 8:00-10:30 PM EST

Tuition: $30

Have you ever been handed a brush and told to paint something? This may have happened when you were little or it may have happened in a painting class you have taken. Were you happy or frustrated with the effort and results? Perhaps you blamed the paint brush for the results. You know, the Paint brush , the lovely little stick with hair on it that we are given as children and told to just paint something and you were just expected to know how to use it?

Detailing and line work are an integral component of Rosemaling and so many other art styles, but often the thought of taking a detail brush in our hand is terrifying because we don't want to mess anything up. So, whether you are new to Rosemaling/stroke work and art in general, or you have had a brush in hand for years, this is a great class for learning how to make that detail brush work for you and take some of the "terror" and frustration out of the process. 

In this class, I  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. 

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 but there is a preview of some of the suggested material for class listed below. You will also received my Basic Introduction To Rosemaling Pdf packet that is a guideline to brushes, paints, books, websites, etc. when you sign up for this class.

This class will be recorded and after the class is completed 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. This recording and scans will be available to your for a year.

***You do not need to attend this class live in order to receive the recording and extra material sent out with this class and you do not have to attend other classes in this series to take this class.

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

Lise Lorentzen has been rosemaling since the age of 11 and has been blessed with having worked with many of the wonderful rosemaling artists from Norway and America. Her work may be found throughout the United States and Norway due to the business that she had with her father from the age of 15-25, and her commission work that has continued to present day. Her expertise covers many styles of rosemaling. Lise received a Vesterheim Gold medal in 2024.
