Revised Basic Strokes Workbook (Decorative Painting # 9407R)

In this book we present you with instructions on how to load and use the various One Stroke brushes--the flat brush, the scruffy brush, the liner brush, the angle brush, the filbert brush, the fan brush, the round brush, and the rake brush. There are 20 color worksheets included that will allow you to practice your brush strokes right on top of the sheet, learning to make vines & ferns, various flowers from simple to difficult, leaves & greenery, insects & butterflies, bows, scrolls & decoration, textures & fur, and lettering of various kinds. To use a color worksheet, just cover it with a piece of clear plastic such as Mylar, a plastic sheet protector, or tracing paper. Then paint directly on the plastic, following each stroke. Practice these strokes many times. Once you have mastered the strokes, you will learn how to combine several strokes to create beautiful designs. Includes instructions for six complete designs--three on Bristol board suitable for framing, and three on project surfaces such as metal and wood. Also includes bound-in pattern packet.
