M y husband has helped me to achieve a respect for the outdoors. This story I am about to tell is true to the best of my recollection (remember, I am old enough to be a grandparent). About ten years ago, I had a great desire to go on a family camping trip. My husband tried to discourage me, but nothing could deter me from my goal. After weeks of searching out camping gear bargains and finding a suitable destination, I informed my husband that we were ready to tackle the great outdoors. Once again he lovingly attempted to talk me out of it, but I was determined and would hear of no such defeat. (I think he knew something from his days as a Boy Scout.) We loaded up two vehicles, yes two—remember, I had gotten lots of deals on equipment- -and headed for the woods. Upon our arrival we first encountered a small but ferocious insect referred to as the “ no see-um.” It rained the first night and cooking was a little more than I had expected. The first morning found us tired, bug bitten, and somewhat hungry. My husband could have said, “ I told you so,” but he didn’ t. Instead he said it might be fun to take a ride around and enjoy the surrounding sights (actually, there wasn’ t much to see). We all loaded into the Suburban and began our tour. Within 30 minutes everyone except my husband was asleep in the air-conditioned, bug-free climate of our vehicle. I think he drove us around for three or four hours, then returned to our campsite at which I admitted defeat and we prepared to return home. This story always brings a good laugh at our family get-togethers. Not only that, but the outdoors became the inspiration for this book. Painting the flowering designs included here will allow you to doubly enjoy the outdoor beauties, without the rain and with only painted insects. There are Painting Worksheets to help you paint each element of the designs with easy-to-use acrylic paints. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed designing them. This is the way to experience the Great Outdoors. ❏ THE A RTIST D ONNA D EWBERRY INTRODUCES H ERSELF For more information about Donna’s Seminars contact: Donna Dewberry 9006 Mossy Oak Lane Clermont, FL 34711 (352) 394-7344 Web site: www.onestroke.com E-mail: [email protected] I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, but I am not really sure how to do this. I hope you will be patient and understanding with me. Though this is not my first book or my first time writing an introduction, I feel as if I am in unfamiliar territory, probably because this is the first book since I became a grandmother. Yes, now I am not only the mother of seven, but my life includes my first grandchild. I should feel older, but in fact I feel more energetic than usual. Maybe it’s because I am so excited or maybe because he’s just so beautiful (oops, my children have warned me that little boys are handsome, not beautiful). I now understand the remarks many of you have made to me about having grandchildren. Anyway, I need to introduce myself to all “ya’ll” that I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet. I am a native Floridian (that explains the ya’ll) and mother of seven. I began my painting adventures at my kitchen table in the late evenings. I desperately wanted to paint but I just didn’t have the time to attend classes, so I began a process of practicing stroke upon stroke until some of them actually began to take form and look like something. As my brush control improved, I became braver and began to paint projects of all kinds. After some encouragement from a few of my close friends and family, I started to charge for my pieces and projects. Someone actually paid for those, which brings me to the present time and thousands of paintings later. Here I am today, living a dream—the dream of being able to do something I love and to spend time with fellow decorative painters all over the world. I love to paint and, many times when I feel over-burdened or frustrated, I take a seat at the kitchen table with my brushes and paints and return myself to those early times. It helps me feel that excitement and reflect upon the real reason for painting: because I love to. ❏ Disclaimer: The information in this instruction book is presented in good faith, but no warranty is given, nor results guaranteed, nor is freedom from any patent to be inferred.

Their rich and creamy formula and long open time make them perfect for decorative painting. These wonderful paints are offered in a wide range of beautiful, premixed colors. Cleanup is easy with these waterbased paints. All you need is soap and water. FolkArt¤ Artists’ Pigment Colors These paints are rich and opaque with brilliant pigment. Available in the same colors as artists’ oil paints and with the same names, they are especially good for mixing your own colors. They are intermixable with FolkArt® Acrylic Colors. Decorator Products“ Durable Colors“ Durable Colors are used for basecoating some of the projects in this book. As the name says, Durable Colors™ are paints made to stand up to use. They are available in a wide variety of beautiful colors with a satin finish. They come in 8-oz. bottles which covers 10 square feet. These paints are not only durable on objects and a variety of surfaces which receive a lot of wear, such as tables and even floors, but they stand up to the weather as well. This is your best choice for projects that will be used outdoors. No sealing is needed for these sturdy paints. The decorative painting can be done with Durable Colors™, if desired, instead of the FolkArt® Acrylic Colors, but the color selection is more limited than with acrylic paints and the consistency is different. However, if you wish to use these for any of the decorative painting, you will find a conversion chart on page 35. FolkArt¤ One-Stroke“ Brushes You can find Donna’s favorite brushes conveniently packaged as collections. The set of larger brushes is One-Stroke™ Brushes #1171 and the set of smaller brushes is One- Stroke™ Mini Brushes #1173. You can also purchase the 3/4” One Stroke (glaze) Brush (#1176) separately and the #8 and #10 One Stroke (flat) Brushes as a set (#1177). You’ll need the following brushes for these projects. Flat Brushes: Use #8, #10, #12, and 3/4” flat brushes to make the multi-load strokes. Use the largest brush that you can handle for the design. Project instructions specify which brushes to use. Script Liners: Use #1 and #2 script liners for curlicues and other detail work. Scruffy Brushes: Use large and mini scruffy brushes (#1172 and #1174 respectively) to pounce moss, greenery, wisteria, and other areas as indicated. One-Stroke“ Teaching Guides One of the most exciting of the One-Stroke products is the extensive line of reusable teaching guides. These are unique laminated worksheets. For learning and practice, paint right on top of the illustrations. Wipe clean, and practice again, following the detailed how-to illustrations of the strokework that forms various elements of the designs. Using these guides, learn to paint basic strokes, various flower petals, leaves, fruits, and more. Use them over and over until you have it PERFECT FolkArt¤ Floating Medium #868 Floating Medium allows the paint to stay wetter, thus aiding brush strokes and allowing them to glide more easily on the surface. First, load the brush, either single, double, or multi-load. Dip the chisel edge of the fully loaded brush into the Floating Medium puddle. Stroke back and forth on the palette, then paint. Repeat every 2-3 strokes. If you do this more often you’ll lose your shading. 3 15577_9483:15577_9483 9/8/10 5:06 PM Page 4 O NE STROKE BRUSH LOADING TECHNIQUE Multi-loading: Use a multi-load technique to paint most designs as shown in the following photos. 1. For making most strokes, you will use the chisel edge of a flat brush. 2. To load a brush, dip one half of the chisel edge into the first color. Dip the other side of the brush into second color. The colors should form triangles on the corners of the brush and meet in the middle. 3. With the multi-loaded brush, you can paint many designs with just one or two strokes. Single or Sideloading: For some designs, load brush with only one color. For sideloading, first wet the brush, then dip one half of the chisel edge in paint. Stroke the brush on the palette to move the color across the bristles. Floating Medium works well instead of water. 1 2 3 chisel edge STEPS TO BEAUTIFUL PROJECTS 1. Prepare the surface. Clean and sand, if needed. Wipe surface clean and dry before continuing. 2. Basecoat the surface as needed. Two basecoats will provide a good surface on which to paint. Allow sufficient drying time after each coat. You may need to lightly sand the surface after each coat. 3. Transfer pattern. First trace pattern onto tracing paper with a pencil or pen. Lay transfer paper under traced pattern and use a stylus to trace pattern again to transfer it to painting surface. Do not press too hard on wood surfaces lest you leave an indented imprint. Use dark transfer paper for darker surfaces and white for lighter surfaces. TIPS: Lightly applying tape to the pattern and surface will keep pattern from sliding. When transferring, it is not necessary to trace every find detail. Transfer the main outlines of the pattern. 4. You are ready to Paint! • I usually paint larger flowers or buds 4 15577_9483:15577_9483 9/8/10 5:06 PM Page 5 first and fill in with the leaves. • Paint florals and leaves by building one stroke at a time. • Each project is painted with a number of different strokes. Refer to the Painting Worksheets. • On wildflowers or vines, paint the greenery first, then come back and paint flowers, stems, and vines. • Apply a finishing touch by painting curlicues and your signature. 5. Let dry. 6. Apply two coats of finish to the surfaces. The particular finish that I used on each project is in the supply list for the project. PAINTING W ORKSHEETS The Painting Worksheets show individual elements of the design in the various stages of painting them. Because the same worksheet may be used for more than one project, it may not indicate the colors used in the project you are painting. In this case, use the colors given in the step by step project instructions and refer to the worksheet for the painting techniques and order of painting. C LEANING & CARE OF BRUSHES The proper cleaning and care of your brushes will not only make them last longer, but also make the brushes perform as they were designed to. I think every painter has his or her own method of brush care, but any care is better than none at all. I will share my method with you, but you may improve on it with my blessings. But by all means, do some kind of brush care! 1. Thoroughly clean the brush with water, using the grid in the bottom of the Brush Basin®. 2. Squeeze Brush Plus® brush cleaner into the bristles and work it in with your fingers, making sure it is distributed all the way to the ferrule. Continue to work it into bristles, then rinse with water. Repeat if needed. 3. Dry bristles with a clean rag or paper towels. Be sure to shape them as you are drying. Leaving a small amount of moisture in the bristles will not harm them. 4. Brush the bristles into a non-perfumed and non-deodorant bar of soap. This will help to keep the bristles in their correct shape. Rinse brushes before painting again. ❏ 5 15577_9483:15577_9483 9/8/10 5:06 PM Page 6 . ■1 Gather These Supplies ® FolkArt Acrylic Colors: Berry Wine #434 Grass Green #644 Licorice #938 Red Violet #636 Sunflower #432 Thicket #924 Wicker White #901 FolkArt® Artists’ Pigment Colors: Dioxazine Purple #463 Green Umber #471 Yellow Ochre #917 FolkArt® One-Stroke™ Brushes: Flats—sizes #8, #10, #12, and 3/4” Script liners—sizes #1 and #2 Small scruffy brush Decorator Products™ Durable Colors™: Chamois #53303 Mustard #53304 Painting Surface: Wood wall planter (available from Cabin Crafters) Other Supplies: FolkArt® One-Stroke™ Reusable Teaching Guides: Pansies #1104 and Cabbage Rose Bouquet #1101 (Optional for practice) FolkArt® Floating Medium #868 FolkArt® ClearCote™ Matte Acrylic Sealer #789 ■2 Preparation 1.
