About a month ago, I attended a beading class in a flea market, nearby my place. Since I was already in the area, I went to a craft shop upstairs. The shop called, Creative Cottage (I’ve checked the interior design magazine where it was featured this month) offers all sort of lessons in crafts – decoupage, decorative painting, glass painting and whatnot. Now I’m thinking of finding leisure time to spend 2-3 hours there, just to feed my curiosity on the crafts itself.
Yesterday, while googling to find how to wrap Valentine bouquet, I happened to come across not so relevant sites, (but still relevant to me since it’s all about crafts), check this out, it shows how to do the rose motifs in decorative painting techniques. I sometimes bought this Better Homes and Gardens magazine, though I hardly implement whatever methods it shows in decorating home. I have to admit I am really bad in cleaning and arranging things..:)
Anyway, while searching for good pictures to complement this entry, I came across this book, perhaps with the minimum time I have in hand, I should invest in this book..and try to learn the decorative painting methods on my own, that’s one option but I still prefer to be taught by human. I hope by May I would be able to have some free time to join the basic class on decorative painting.
Hello,
amazing isn’t it, how the decorative painting can hook you up?
I’m a beginner. Recently found a teacher who can teach me decorative painting. It’s not easy though….to get the perfect strokes. do visit my blog. I’ll be posting some of my work…. nice knowing someone have the same interest as me
Hi Zahirah,
Thanks for dropping by. I have bought all the essential paints, brushes and books but yet to commit myself to practise all the strokes. I guess timing is always the main factor when it comes to craft and art. Anyway, good luck in your decorative painting hobby.
