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.

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.

Join Vesterheim Gold Medalist Patti Goke for an opportunity to paint a Nordfjord-style ale bowl turned by master woodworker Roger Abrahamson! Rosemaling is an iconic and traditional art form, and experienced rosemalers in this class will explore the stylistic elements of rosemaling in the Nordfjord style.

Unlike other styles of rosemaling, the Nordfjord style was not influenced by outside impulses. The style is no longer painted in Norway and it is up to us to keep it alive. The palette of colors is simple with no blending and shading. Often, geometric shapes are used. There generally are three elements to the painted bowls: the bottom design, the side design, and lettering on the outside.
