Product Description

This guide takes Donna Dewberry's one-stroke painting one step further -- introducing readers to more advanced approaches to realistic-style decorative painting with acrylics. Using the same multi-loading methods and updated color schemes, decorators can learn how to paint realistic-looking one-stroke flowers, fruits, leaves and other motifs on furniture and related accessories to make complete room ensembles. Each of the 10 projects is based on a painted piece of furniture or room with an existing theme and the accessories that accompany that theme, and include a kitchen table and chairs, wall plates and cabinets. Donna provides complete, step-by-step examples on how to add details to flowers, how to shade and highlight fruit to give it dimension, how to match colors to existing room decor, and more.

Brilliant and Inspiring!
This book is beautiful illustrated. Full of inspiration ideas. You could adapt and alter ideas and design from the to create your own designs. It's so nice to do freehand and all this are inspired by this book. It is so enjoyable just looking at pictures! Lovely book. I just love it.

IF YOU LIKE HER STYLE,THIS IS DEFINITELY A BOOK TO OWN
Donna has surpassed herself in creating this well illustrated book. There are 10 lovely projects to choose from,all patterns are included,as are the lists of materials and paint colours used. The many beautiful step by step photographs show in close detail,work at various stages. Her instructions are comprehensive and are uncluttered by formal terminology. In my opinion this book is more for those that are very familiar with her method of painting,wanting to decorate some substantially larger pieces and to expand their knowledge even further.
