Synopsis

Editorial Reviews Book Description Have you always admired the Zhostovo style, but never dared attempt it yourself? Well, here's the book you've been waiting for! This complete, step-by-step guide will help you master the traditional Russian style of decorative painting . . . its graceful brushstrokes, brightly colored flowers, luminous dark backgrounds, and those gorgeous, ornate gold borders. Your teacher is Heather Redick, one of America's premier painters of the Zhostovo style and a student of Russian master Larisa Dyatlova. Clear photos lead you through each step, from loading the brush to building each flower brushstroke by brushstroke.
