Painting European Folk Art Save 75%

by Andy B. Jones

IN INVENTIVE DECORATIVE ARTIST presents his own interpretation of several European painting styles, showing crafters at all skill levels how to create charming pieces that will complement any decor.

The book begins with a brief historical survey of European folk art. The first chapter is devoted to supplies: working with acrylic paints, selecting brushes, and gathering other essential materials. After reviewing several basic painting techniques and how to correctly prepare surfaces, the author presents detailed demonstrations of the decorative painting styles of England, Norway, Holland, Germany, and Russia. The projects feature motifs traditionally painted on wood, metal, and porcelain, and incorporate a range of techniques, including decorative strokework, working wet-in-wet, and antiquing.

ANDY B. JONES, the author of Painting American Folk Art, Painting Animals, Decorative Paint Finishes for the Home, and Decorative Painter's Guide to Mills and Flowers, is a partner in an Atlanta-based design firm specializing in painted finishes for interiors.
