Take a decorative painting course right in your own home! Through a series of questions and answers, this latest addition to the popular "For the First Time" series walks you through the basics of decorative painting, carefully building your skills with a collection of sequential projects. Familiarize yourself with the necessary tools and supplies, and then start learning to paint. Practice making scrolls on a filigree platter, and use the chiseled end of a brush when you make a palm tree bathroom set. Work with splattering on a snowman candy dish, and stippling on a honey bear plate. A selection of more complex projects lets you move beyond the basics, as does an inspiring gallery of advanced ideas and designs by professional artists.
This is a clearly written book with complete instructions for both the beginning painter and painters needing to hone their painting knowledge. It contains information about brushes, tools, and techniques. Many patterns are also included.
