Have you heard the saying you have to learn to walk before you can run? That thought is the same for rosemaling. Before you paint, you can learn a few things to help you on your rosemaling journey. Join others for five evenings of learning some basic, yet helpful, concepts. This class is a mixture of discussion and hands-on experiences to reinforce the learning.

Topic will include:

• Styles of rosemaling: who knew there were so many?

• Woodenware: what to look for, how to prepare it, how to background.

• Oils vs Acrylics: pros and cons, brands, quality (artist grade vs student/craft grade).

• Brushes: what type is good for rosemaling, how to hold them, how to care for them.

• Basic Paint Palettes, how to mix
