Synopsis

Folk painting is rich with quaint, picturesque scenery, from rolling hills and rural farmland to old-fashioned barns, churches and country stores. This beautiful guide captures the warm, simplistic style that typifies folk art painting, featuring 10 charming decorative painting projects. Designed to adorn everything from boxes and floor cloths to picnic baskets, each project comes with an easy-to-trace pattern, detailed instructions and step-by-step photos. Painters will find a range of delightful subjects for every season, including scenes illustrating Christmas, weddings, Halloween, Independence Day and more. And there are also tips for embellishing each scene with little decorative elements that celebrate the seasons.

From Library Journal:

Decorative artists will be interested in these two new volumes, each of which takes a unique view. Active artists and teachers in the folk arts, Diephouse and Deptula are primarily landscape artists who concentrate on seasonal illustrations for boxes, floor cloths, picnic baskets, and the like. Their highly usable book comes with traceable patterns, detailed instructions, and step-by-step photos. Stansifer, a decorative arts teacher and writer, shows decorative painters how to depict baby bobcats, Siberian tigers, cottontail rabbits, blue jays, and chipmunks. She provides close-up photos, color swatch charts, fur and feather growth diagrams, and a list of suppliers, with e-mail addresses and web sites. Both books are recommended for public libraries of any size.
