Donna and Nancy at a Baltimore Workshop
Hello!
I have been painting and crafting for as long as I can remember. I was ‘tole painting’ in the 4thgrade (not realizing that was an art form) and always creating projects for the home, girl scouts, and school.
For several years, my daughter and I rented display space in a Chino CA home décor store. It was this experience that planted the dream that I wanted my painting to be more than a part-time adventure.
Although I enjoyed tole painting, when I read about Donna Dewberry, the founder of One Stroke Painting, in a Tole Painter’s magazine, I knew I had to find out more. I signed up for the next 3-day Level 1 certification class and immediately began teaching the One Stroke technique after receiving the Level 1 certificate.
To view my schedule, please click “Class Schedule” on the top tab bar. You do not need to be a “born” artist to learn the One Stroke technique. Absolutely no painting experience is necessary!
Do you want to have a paint party? Host an adult ‘Wine and Paint’ party or a child “Pizza and Paint’ party and have a great time painting a canvas or wine glass. For possible prepared designs, please go to my website at www.social-artworking.com/profile/thepaintedvine. We can also paint any subject matter you would like.
