Adding interest to a background can change the whole look of a project. On this piece, we’ll incorporate decoupaged tissue paper, stamps, and unique stencil material to add some character to an otherwise plain area, and it only takes a little bit of time. Let’s have some fun with our creative selves!

and have promoted my designs in packets. At one time, I taught classes and attended conventions. My designs were incorporated into a home décor line, and more recently, fabrics.
About Cindy
Decorative painting began for me in 1979 when I signed up for a tole painting class with the Priscilla Hauser technique. These first classes required oil, but soon afterward I was introduced to Plaid acrylic paints and the charming designs of Millie Smith. Whether in oil or acrylic, I had discovered my niche. From that day forward, things began moving very quickly. Struggling with the side-loading technique, I began work creating my own method of shading and creating my own designs.
While displaying my work at a Christmas show, I met the Plaid artist Diane Capoccia. She was instrumental in submitting my name to the editor of Plaid. That’s when the journey began for me with professional painting. Through the years, I’ve been published by Plaid and Cabin Crafters, as well as in magazine articles and online publications,
I feel blessed that my artwork has been so well received and that I have met so many wonderful people through the years that share my love for art. My bucket list is long, so I still have a lot of work left to do, if the Lord gives me enough time to finish!
Surfaces:
• 8.5” x 11.25” Small Arched Frame from Cabin Crafters #101908 (Note: This frame can be ordered with the holes predrilled with pegs. I substituted the knobs for this design and used screws to attach them to the back of the frame.)

So many surfaces and so little time. We all get used to those square and rectangular surfaces but the world is round so why not paint in the round! I decided to do a series of (3) pieces with these circular Fredrix Round 12� Canvases. What a fun surface to play on...
Here are my three pieces:
These pieces came to life through the backgrounds and textures which are super easy to create with the DecoArt Media Line. I used Crackle Paste, Crackle
Medium, Gesso and Modeling Paste with some fun Andy Skinner Stencils and Totally Tracy Stamps to achieve the texture: Each took on their personality when I used DecoArt Media Misters to paint the backgrounds! I used DecoArt Media Gesso as the base for all my flower designs. Use

your imagination to create some simple flower shapes of your own! Then each design was colored in with Decoart Media Fluid Acrylics and details were added with doodles and dots! The secret to painting three pieces in series is to have something that ties them together.
In this case circles were my consistent theme. Each piece, though different and able to stand alone, was meant to go with the other.

About Deb
I live in beautiful Penticton, British Columbia, Canada with my recently retired husband and two fur children. My husband and I have spent the past 2 years renovating my husband’s childhood home that was built by his father in 1946.
My painting journey began in 1990. From the first time I picked up a brush I was hooked. I painted for craft sales and taught classes at Michaels for five years. Since then I have gone on to be one of the originalfounding members of Painting with Friends®, the brainchild of my friend Terrye French. Terrye French is my greatest inspiration and I credit Terrye French’s encouragement and friendship for all of my success.
Sadly, Terrye passed away in November 2014, she left a very large hole in my heart. With her family’s support I have continued on with the Painting with Friends and am very honored to continue my designs in her memory.

Mediums:
• DecoArt All Purpose Sealer • DecoArt Media® DMM20 Matte Medium
My Techniques:
Surface Preparation: Unless otherwise stated, I seal all my surfaces with one coat of DecoArt All Purpose Sealer. Let dry, then sand lightly.
Dry Brushing: I dry brush all of my highlights unless otherwise mentioned. For larger projects, I like to use the 1” and 2” Palmer brushes. For the smaller areas, I like to use the Dynasty Decorator Series Blenders. The blenders have a dome tip. For best results, use the brush on its side. The brush must be dry. When dry brushing, I load my paint from a dry surface, not a wet palette, as the moisture will get into the brush and make the paint go on smudgy. I also keep an old towel handy; it is great for cleaning the brush between colors. To start, load the brush by tipping it into the first color.
