Simply Scandinavian : Painted Furniture Patterns to Pull Out and Trace

Rating:
Summary: Learning Rosemaling with Jocasta Innes
Review: Simply Scandinavian is a 1991 workbook, with pull out and trace pattern sheets and blue chalked transfer paper for tracing the patterns onto furniture pieces. The blue may be washed off with water after painting is complete. Teaches beginners to paint in the Scandinavian tradition, suggesting types of paint, colors, tips for steadying the brush for large swirls, producing dry brush highlights, and personalizing your creation with initials and date. Jocasta Innes' simplified process of painting allows you to follow the steps of itinerant Scandiavian painters who were self taught and repeated the same simple designs in different combinations and colors to enliven winter interiors. Enjoy!
