About Kim

I was born in British Columbia, Canada and reside now with my family in Vernon, BC.

My love for decorative painting began in the front store window of a decorative painting shop. Window shopping became browsing, browsing became shopping, shopping became painting, and so the story goes!

I have 8 books published to date, and I have also been published in a wide range of magazine articles over the years and have had the honor of being published in the 100 Angels collection of hand-painted angels presented by The National Museum of Decorative Painting.

I currently teach at my home studio from time to time and various other places at home and abroad.

Surface:

(All suppliers are listed in the directory at the back of the book)

• Lantern Frame Kit Ornament 9.5” tall #207-0712 from Viking Woodcrafts

• Avocado Dip DA254 • Persimmon DA254

• Traditional Burnt Umber DA221 • Raw Sienna DA221

Royal & Langnickel® Majestic™ Brushes:

• R4150 Shaders 10, 6, 4, 2, 0 • R4160 Angulars 1/2”, 3/8”, 1/4”, 1/8” • R4595 Liner 10/0

• R9113 Dome Stencil 1/8”, 1/4”

Miscellaneous Supplies:

Base inside piece of lantern with Sea Glass. Base outside piece of frame with Cool White. Use 10 shader. Let dry, sand lightly until smooth, and base again in the same colors.

Lightly moisten inside piece with a light wash of water, and use moistened sea wool sponge to lightly sponge surface with Turquoise Blue. Surface shouldn’t be drippy. Let dry. Lightly apply basic pattern details to piece with stylus and transfer paper.

Painting Instructions:

To paint the defining lines on outside frame piece, use appropriate size angulars to shade from edge to edge with Turquoise Blue. Also shade bottom edges of the top hanging loop adjacent to lantern’s top dome. These shade lines give a 3D appearance to the lantern case.

• Tahoe Snowflake Stencil #520133 from Viking Woodcrafts (I used this stencil because it has small design elements that fit this piece.)

Use 1/2” angular to float Boysenberry Pink tints on lantern case’s “high points,” opposite some of the shade areas.

• Stylus

When dry, apply a coat of varnish to front frame piece and sprinkle heavily with Crystal Tinsel Glitter and lightly with Turquoise Tinsel Glitter.

• Transfer paper

• Medium sea wool sponge • E6000® glue (this sticks to EVERYTHING)

• Tinsel Glitter, Martha Stewart Crafts™ - Turquoise & Crystal (Optional) • DecoArt® Glamour Dust™ #DAS37

Snow Friend

Use dome stencil brushes to begin tapping the first color layer of the snowman with Midnite Blue. Keep it spotty, but also keep the shape definition. (See Figure 1) While still wet, begin tapping in Cool White. Work from left to

About Chris

The Andy Griffith Show and Bewitched are the two TV shows I recall from my childhood. With only three stations to select on our black and white TV, I spent most of my time playing with crafts. My older sister was an oil painter and I drooled over her supplies and talents. In college I majored in Fine Art (Oil Painting), but soon found out that making a living by selling oil paintings was not all fun and games. After the pitter patter of little feet went to school (BTW, oil and kids do not mix for me), I discovered the wonderful world of acrylic. I have been an addict ever since!

My background in art continually encourages me to try new and exciting paints, mediums and techniques. I absolutely love what I do and feel very blessed that I am able to design and share my wonderful world of art.

Preparation:

Painting Instructions: General Stamping Instructions: Instead of tracing a pattern, the design is created by stamping the images.

Attach selected cling stamp to acrylic handle. Load large specialty sponge with Payne’s Grey, tapping on palette to disperse paint evenly across the bottom. Apply paint evenly over stamp, position stamp and press to imprint. Too much paint will cause the image to be blurry, while not enough will result in an incomplete stamping. Reapply paint after each stamping. All of the stamping is done using Payne’s Grey for all except pinecone, which is Burnt Umber. Stamp the holly, poinsettia and pinecone images first for placement. The pine branches are added around these as desired to fill in the background. (Figure 1)

The Art of Collaboration

by Tracy Weinzapfel

collaboration versus competition and found this industry is big enough for us all! The decorative painting world is full of amazing pattern makers, brush stroke geniuses, and business people.

Tracy Weinzapfel owns and operates her own art studio, Tracy Weinzapfel Studios. She works as a fulltime licensed Mixed Media Artist who hosts a show on the internet called Mixed Media Monday and teaches art workshops across the US and beyond. Tracy is happiest in her studio painting and living life with a creative edge. Her greatest joy is sharing and teaching her passion for art and everything colorful. I’ve been so fortunate to work with some amazing artists in the industry who’ve only made me a better artist. Years ago, I developed the motto of October 2016 Issue

You can see a time lapse of the entire project on my blog!

Maureen Baker is one such artist who I’m honored I’ve had the opportunity to befriend. I love her work. But her art isn’t in my comfort zone.

When I asked if I could work with one of her patterns in my own “Tracy” style, she didn’t hesitate. She was on board and sent one right over. I took her pattern and painted this 12 X 12 wood piece. Here’s Maureen’s original:

I’ve also had the pleasure of collaborating with mixed media artist Andy Skinner, whose style couldn’t be further from mine. His style tends to be industrial, dark pieces; with mine, you need sunglasses to protect you from the bright, vivid colors.

Sure, I wish I knew all those fancy brush strokes and commend everyone who hones those skills. But I won’t let that steer me away from my art and inspiring others. I may not be the next Bob Ross, but my goal is to inspire people to pick up that paintbrush, and who knows… maybe they’ll be the next Bob Ross.

Collaborating with my fellow artists is one way I stretch myself creatively to improve my own skills and be the best artist I can. I’m thankful for those collaborations versus the stress of competing.

Can you imagine the great art that will come from more of that? Now who wants to collaborate with me next?

Dare to Create 3

Pick an artist that inspires you and do your rendition of one of their pieces.

Each of these pieces stretched me creatively and had no boundaries. And you never know where that will take you. We’ve now grown this to our first Dare to Create Event, which took place in London in July 2016, and our first USA Event, Ministry of Mixology (thank

If Bob Ross were still here, I would ask him to paint happy trees and flowers with me. Think about who you want to collaborate with and give it a try!

Innovative Corner

with Debbie Cole, CDA

Dreamweaver® Stencils

While artists have been using stencils for centuries, Dreamweaver Stencils products really stand out from the others.

Lynell Harlow founded this company, which Stampendous® bought two years ago. Her exploration of the art of stenciling and embossing began in the mid-1980s. She licensed her first designs to be made into brass stencils in 1991; a few years later, Dreamweaver Stencils was born. The stencils are now made of a high quality steel, which makes them more versatile than plastic stencils. The benefit of the steel stencil is that it won’t move or bend during the painting process, making the dry brush stenciling technique much easier to achieve. You can use these stencils with misters, inks, and pastes to create interest within designs. You can also use them to emboss paper by running it through a cutting machine, such as a Big Shot. You can October 2016 Issue

then decoupage the embossed paper onto a painting project. Dreamweaver also has many tools made from the same quality steel to create a variety of techniques. One versatile tool is the Picasso Shield Tool.

You can use this handy tool for tons of stenciling techniques. Use its various points and edges to mask off unwanted areas of a design on a stencil.

Use the holes as a mask to stencil eyes, berries, or details to stems, leaves, and other parts of images. The curved edges are perfect for creating clouds or snowy hills. They have their own line of stencil brushes as well.

iridescent powders, fine glitters, or metallic liquid acrylic paints to create infinite effects. The Metallic colors are very interesting as they are dull in color while wet, then dry to a true silver, gold, and copper.

Dreamweaver also has a line of Embossing Pastes, which are different from other pastes on the market. They can be heat set with an embossing gun or allowed to air dry. The pastes come in Glossy White, Matte White, Glossy Black, Matte Black, Pearlescent, Translucent, Crackle, and three Metallic colors.

When using the steel Dreamweaver Stencils, always work on a hard, flat surface and keep the stencil flush against the surface. This prevents brush from bending the stencil and allowing the paste to bleed or smear.

Pick up the paste on the bottom of the metal palette knife and smooth over the stencil’s cut out areas, as if applying icing to a cake. Scrape off the excess paste until all the holes are filled evenly and the stencil surface is smooth.

These brushes stand up to the scrubbing of the dry brush stenciling technique because they’re made from high quality hog hairs. These hairs are cut from the ends; therefore, they reshape themselves, so there are rarely hairs that splay out from the brush.

The Translucent Embossing Paste is unique in that it’s applied in the same way as regular paste and is white, but dries to a glossy, transparent finish. Therefore, you can use it with

Helpful Hints

When using the Embossing Paste on the metal stencils, it’s important to work quickly, because the paste sets up in 20-40 minutes. Tape out the edges well with removable tape.

Immediately take off the tape and pick up the stencil, lifting it off as one would open a book. Don’t bend the stencil. It’s important to clean the stencil immediately, so drop it into a pan of water until you have time to scrub it with an old toothbrush.

About Judy

I was introduced to Decorative painting in 1975. Very soon after that I was teaching classes in my home. This I did for the next twenty or more years. During this time, I did teach at the National Conventions and at HOOT. In 1994 I teamed up with Lynne Deptula to form “Distinctive Brushstrokes”. We have published over 300 pattern packets and 40 books. Please check out our web site for our current line of patterns and books, teaching schedule, and Home Seminar dates.
