Well, fear not. Tole painting (also referred to as decorative painting) is a step by step, fail-proof process. I guide you every step of the way. You can't fail. I teach you how to hold each different brush so that it performs the way it should. With practice it becomes easier. Believe me! I was a beginner too.

Yes, You CAN Learn How to Tole Paintin One Weekend!2010 SCHEDULESATURDAY APRIL 24 and SUNDAY APRIL 25, 2010COURSE FEE: ----------------------------------------------------------------- PRE-REGISTRATION and PAYMENT REQUIRED
On Saturday and Sunday, we paint from 9:30am to 5:00pm. There are two 15 minute breaks. One mid-morning and another mid-afternoon. There is a 30 minute break for lunch around NOON. You'll learn all you need to know to give you a solid foundation. Believe me, there's lots to learn. But it's a whole heap of fun! As you begin to practice what you're learning in your tole painting lessons, you'll be encouraged to fill pages in your personal art journal (included in your course). I think having an art journal is very important because it will serve as a reference guide when I am no longer there and you are painting by yourself. Plus, you do have to practice, that's how you hang on to what you learned during your tole painting lessons. Here's what's going to happen in class. You'll learn about your new brushes and supplies. You'll learn some new terminology and a brief history of tole and decorative painting. You will find out the right way of holding and loading paint onto a flat brush and onto a round brush. You will learn how to tole paint by doing strokework with a round and a flat brush as well as learning to float color with a flat brush to create highlights and shadows.
