About this title

About the Author:

Donna Dewberry is the most successful decorative painter ever. She has done ten books for North Light since 1998. She is contracted through 2007 with PBS stations nationwide for her program One-Stroke Painting with Donna Dewberry and is also a biweekly presenter on the Home Shopping Network and America's Store. Her designs are licensed for home decor fabrics, wallpapers, quilts, embroidery, etc.

From Library Journal:

Dewberry (Donna Dewberry's Complete Book of One-Stroke Painting) shows numerous interior projects she has painted. For each one, she gives a description of the techniques, colors, and materials used, with step-by-step instructions included for a few. Though her well-illustrated book will give experienced decorative painters inspiring suggestions, amateurs will need a book such as Priscilla Hauser's Book of Decorative Painting (LJ 9/15/97) to get started. Recommended where there is an interest.
