Synopsis:

An interpretation of several European painting styles, showing crafters of all skill levels how to create pieces that should complement any decor. It 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 and tools. After reviewing several basic painting techniques and how to correctly prepare surfaces, the author presents detailed demonstrations based on the decorative painting styles of England, Norway, Holland, Germany and Russia. The projects feature motifs that were traditionally painted on lacquerware, porcelain and wood, and incorporate a range of techniques, working wet-in-wet, and antiquing.
