FROM THE Editor Letter from the Editor

We were off to a wonderful year. Winter was behind us and spring had sprung, and we were all looking forward to planting and watching our beautiful flowers and gardens grow. Then, with the outbreak of Covid-19 we lost a whole season. Spring passed us by as we were shut in our homes and things around us closed down. Now as things slowly start to open back up, we enter into summer! We need to go forward as we settle into the “new normal”. We have bigger and brighter things in store for you this year and we cannot wait to share them with you!

TIME TO HIBERNATE

By Cindy Makowski

Cindy discovered painting in the late 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and continues to learn every day. She was finally able to take early retirement in 2017 to commit her full time to painting and teaching. Since then with the help of her husband of 40+ years, her mom Eleanor, and her side kick Diane she has traveled to multiple art conventions, workshops, and seminars around the states. In 2019 she was able to travel to Australia and New Zealand to teach at workshops there and looks forward to returning. Cindy lives in Florida with her husband and dog Chico and now has her mom living with her full time. www.Cindysbrushstrokes.com AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

PREPARATION: WOOD LEAF PREPARATION: Base coat the leaf 2 good coats of Golden Straw using your 3/4’ or 1” flat, don’t forget to do the

edges. Allow to dry then stamp or trace the bear pattern about 2 inches up from the bottom. (Image 1).

PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS: BASE IN TREES: Use your 1/4” Angle brush to base in where you want to place your trees. I recommend 3 trees. Depending on where you place your bear, you can have one in back, two in front or vice versa. Three in front, NOT three in back though, that would look awkward. Be sure they are different sizes and end them at the bottom at different depths. Colors can be any of your brown mix as this is just a base coat. I used Burnt Umber and a touch of Toffee. Clean your brush right on your leaf, by scrubbing in with a dry brush fashion the far away trees. (Pick up a little more color well worked into the brush if you need more). These do not even need to have complete trunks so don’t worry if they are skipping in spots. Refer to image 2. After you finish cleaning your brush, your tree base coat should be dry so go ahead and add the second layer of definition. (Image 2) SECOND LAYER ON TREES: Brush mix and vary what you pick up, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, a touch of Toffee. (Add Black for a darker brown) With the flat of the brush held flat against the wood (not on the chisel) slide and lift, slide and lift to put in the bark. (Image 3) Pick up a touch of black, work it into the bristles just a bit. Then, add for a shadow, especially at the base of the tree in front of the bear. Refer to photo 6. Notice how it looks like there are many roots starting to come out of the bottom of the tree. Bring the darkness up slightly into the bark. Where there are two trees on the left, be sure to use some Burnt Umber and black right along the edge. Where the two trees overlap as a shadow, push one tree behind the other. Use more Toffee and Sienna on the light side of the tree, this will round your tree and begin the highlight. Do not add anything more to the scuffed in shadowy trees in the background. Give this a moment to dry then make a dirty yellow mix with Sunny AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

PAINTING WORLD MAGAZINE

Day and Burnt Sienna. (Image 4) Add this as a highlight on the light side of each tree. Keep in mind the sun is in the middle and shining out. So left trees highlight right side and right tree highlight the left side. Gradually add layers, going with brighter yellow and a touch of white. Each layer of brighter highlight will get smaller and smaller in size. BACKGROUND: With a touch of Sunny Day added to the White on the 1/4” angle, lightly scrub in what will be the sunshine through the trees. I place this randomly in front of the bear and between the two sets of trees. An irregular shaped scrub. (Image 5) With the 1/4” angle brush, begin adding in your fall leaf colors. There is no specific pattern or shape. Alternate your colors and shades and fill in the area for a dense woodsy look. (Refer to images 6 -9.) I started with my brighter and deeper colors, such as the Tuscan Red and Spiced Pumpkin. You do not have to add one color all at one time but alternate for a more layered look. While it looks like tree shapes, all I did was lay the brush to the side and rub in paint in the general direction that branches would be growing. Remember to add some greens, and green blues, as not all trees would change color at the same time. I also added Burnt Sienna to some of the colors to tone them down a bit and add variations to the colors for that automatic shading look. Do not forget, (like I do), to do the two little triangles of forest that shows under his belly between his legs. Before adding the highlights, reinforce the sunshine with additional Sunny Day and White with a whiter spot towards any opening you have. BACKGROUND DEFINITION: Repeat the process for the background this time use a few lighter colors on the “tips” of branches where the sunlight would be lighting them up. If you need to add more darkness, or to fill in gaps, especially along the tree trunks, add a wash of blue/green. Do not attempt to really define bushes in the background, keep it a jumble with nothing specific. Only keep in mind, the direction you scrub your brush, in the general direction you would expect to find a branch growing. Closer to the front, you can add more definition near the AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

trees. See the difference between image 9 and the finished picture where I added the wash. BEAR: Working with a basically dark animal, I do two things. I make sure I know where my darkest areas are, such as the belly, and the “away” legs, and the backside of the “forward” legs that are not having the sun hit them. I also make sure I know where my highlights are for shape. I base these in with a dark or light version of my final color just so I do not lose them. (Images 10 and 11) Let’s start. Caution! Make sure you see his tiny nub of a tail and don’t lose it. Use strokes that would generally go in the direction of the fur, but with the width of the brush, not attempting individual hair strokes. Use a dark brown mix of Burnt Umber and Black to base in the left rear leg (the away leg) and the belly area near the rear legs. With this same mix, base in the backside of the front left leg and the entire front right leg. The same mix indicates the inside of both ears, the eyes and the nose. ( Image 12) Rinse your brush and mix a lighter shade of Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, and Toffee. Then, lightly indicate where the highlight will be along the top of both ears, the hunch of the back, and right shoulder coming down the front of the left front leg. I have a pattern line for the front of the right rear leg, curve of the hip which is also highlighted. You can use this same mix if you want to put in the nose, muzzle, and smile so as not to lose it. Again, color is not specific as it will get covered over, this is just for placement. Refer to image 12. Rinse your brush and now we will build our bear! There is no right or wrong mix as long as you are dark, and you can see shade variation. Some bears are browner, some more black, and some more red. For the mid tone, mix a browner version of the Burnt Umber and Black. Fill in any area not covered with the highlights and dark shadow. Pick up the same combination and add Burnt Sienna. Now, on the chisel edge stroke in the fur. I will sometimes do a daisy type stroke, and others, I will pull short long strokes along the flat of the chisel. Vary your strokes and they can

PAINTING WORLD MAGAZINE

overlap, just do not have x’s for fur! For variation in the dark areas, add some Prussian Blue to the Black, and Burnt Umber and stroke in. Again, in the direction of the fur. Hint: Along the outside edges of the legs, leave it jagged, do not make it smooth let it be fuzzy like fur would be. (Image 13) For the ears, use a small round detail brush. Add a second layer of Black and Burnt Umber. And even straight black in spots, stroke this in with short choppy strokes, do not make it smooth. Rinse or wipe your brush and add Burnt Sienna and Oyster Beige and short strokes again, not a smooth line. Add in the highlights on both ears and on top of the head. For some reason I always leave the face and neck for last. So, let’s finish the body. Highlight the top of the back, on down to the top of his nubby little tail. Be sure the bottom of the tail is darker and juts out from that hind leg just a tiny bit. If you need to reshape, bring your color of the forest in to reshape that area. Drop down under the tail and highlight going down the back of the right rear leg. Reinforce the highlight on the front of the right rear leg, just ever so slightly, it is not standout bright, just enough for definition. Reinforce the highlight, from hump of the shoulder top on down to the halfway point on the rear of the front right leg. If your bear body is looking flat and not furry, darken the highlight color, but keep it lighter than the bear and add additional fur indications in the body area. (image14) FACE AND NECK: For best reference use the photo for your guide. Use your detail round brush and darken the eyes and the nose with black. Add Burnt Umber using a backwards comma stroke, bring in the dark fur along the front side of his face and under his mouth (the chin). Come out slightly from his right eye and darken in front of and above. As you need to, pick up paint, add Burnt Sienna to the mix and no black. Add very short streaks along the side of his face and just a few fading away along the chin. Wipe your brush, do not clean it. Pick up more Burnt Sienna, and a touch

of the Burnt Umber, add to the top of his head closest to you and bring this down between the eyes towards the snout. You may need to add a little Burnt Umber and smoothly stroke this towards the center of the forehead. Add a touch of Toffee, and White to the mix. Careful, this is strong, and fill in the snout. (Image 15) Basically, work these colors back and forth so you have the look of texture, shades, and highlights. Refer to the photo. You don’t have to match exactly just the same general appearance. With the lighter color, lay in the reverse smile of the upper lip, and lighten ever so slightly to catch the very edge of the lip. Do not add any more paint to your brush, flatten the round brush out and gently touch around the outside of the bear’s right eye. A little on the top, and a little on the bottom, touching in the back but open in the front. Just enough to stand out. With your detail liner, underline the upper lip with a black or dark brown/black mix to put in the “smile”. You can also touch just a tiny amount twice at the bottom of the nose for nostrils. If the neck needs more highlights, use mostly Burnt Sienna, a touch of Burnt Umber and a touch of Toffee. Lightly in the reverse comma direction add highlights in a dry brush pattern. (Image 16) Check your bear. Does the fur look blended and the colors flow from one shade to the next? If so, you are good. If it looks blocky, you may need to add more of your base color or shadow colors to break up the blocks of colors. It is ok to putts with the fur, add a stroke here or there just to break it up or make it stand out more. (Image 17) OLD DEAD LOG: Use any mix of dirty colors for your old dead log. Keep it similar to your trees or slightly greyer. Brush the color on using left to right strokes with the 1/4” angle. The very end or ends of the log should be mostly black as they are in dark shadow. With a lighter version of your tree, run a broken edge along the front side making it jagged. Blend the color back into the trunk. Notice when I did the bear pattern, only his left front foot is stepping up onto the log. All other feet are hidden. (Image 18) When the log is dry, add some sunlight highlights with Sunny Day, with a touch of Burnt Sienna. With your detail AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

PAINTING WORLD MAGAZINE

round, dap in irregular shapes that will look like fallen leaves. Use any of the colors from the background. Refer to image 21. PATH: With your 1/4” angle brush, make a marbled brush mix of a light dirty brown color using Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, and Oyster Beige. Streak it left to right using the flat of your brush and just let the color come off as it will. Add shadow indications by adding a little blue to the mix. Scrub in a greyer look to the path that would be the shadow of the bear. (Image 19) Use a mix of dried grass colors, add clumps of grasses in front of the tree, against the log, and on the front side of the path. Use your darker mixes first, and then tap over with lighter yellow brown mix for highlights. I just brush mix the colors as I go so that the colors constantly vary. I used Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Marigold, White, Green, and Blue. Even a touch of Black now and then. All on a dirty brush, I just kept mixing. (Image 20) If you start getting too grey, go ahead and rinse your brush and start again. Your goal is dead dried grass like you see in the fall. Use a variety of motions to do this. Tap some in with the chisel of your brush. Lay the brush sideways and tap in short grass. Use the script liner with inky thin paint to pull up long tendrils of weeds with the same colors. (Image 21) Have fun with the grounds. Another option is to use the splatter effect with a toothbrush or a fan brush, using your various shades of browns and black and add pebbles to the path. Create your own. (Finished image 22) When your piece is dry, spray 2-3 light coats of Acrylic Spray to seal and bring out the extra luster. I like to use Gloss, but the choice is yours. Hint: When dry, flip your leaf over and paint the other side using “Hal’s Bear” spring color pattern or create your own winter scene. Be adventurous. (Image 23) I hope you enjoyed Time to Hibernate. Do not forget to sign your piece and show your family and friends!

ROUND BARN

By Diane Trierweiler

I have lived in California a good part of my life, but I was born in Racine, Wisconsin. This is where I first saw the round barns. How fascinating that someone came up with the idea of not having support beams in the middle of a barn. You can look up more information on this design on Google. I have been painting for about 45 years and have loved every minute of it. I have a shop in Norco, California, that has been open for 35 years. I have my own line of brushes and have published)15 books, hundreds of packets, and several videos. With the encouragement of my husband and son, I have used my love of art to help support the family. I also travel teach to chapters and conventions.

I usually paint on canvas. I like all kinds of canvases such as convexo, tack on back, or two-inch-thick gallery canvases. They can be purchased at Hobby Lobby. The canvas I used for this project is a 16x20 regular canvas. If you are not going to frame it, you can use a tack on the side canvas.

PREPARATION

I love textural backgrounds. Using them gives your paintings more interest. You will see how it makes acrylic paintings look more like oils because you can see brush strokes under the paints. Use your large palette knife to spread the modeling paste over the entire canvas. Go back and forth with your palette knife like you were frosting a cake. If you want more texture, you can use your hog bristle brush to “swish” through the wet paste. Let dry and place your basic pattern on. There is no need to put the bushes, trees, small detail or clouds on at this time.

AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS

Please use a table easel to paint this design. The upright position and the long-handled brushes will give you a softer, more impressionistic, look. You may lay the canvas down when you are painting the details. You can see by the close-up photos that I have provided that I do not use a ruler to make straight lines or worry about going back to correct shapes to make them perfect. This is more of an impressionistic painting and you need to be loose in your painting. SKY: Use your long tongue to scumble (slip slap) Cerulean Blue and White, in a wet on wet method. Work on a smaller area at a time so that the paint remains wet, so that you can blend the colors together. You want to see both colors and a mix of both of them. All skies are deeper in value at the top and lighter value at the horizon blend a little Uniform Blue into the top of the sky. You can place the cloud in while the sky is still wet. Use the same dirty brush to paint in the clouds. Add White to the brush and blend it out on the palette. Use the flat edge of the brush with a light touch and swirl the color on where you want a cloud. Make sure that they are all different in size and location. Add White to the brush and highlight the tops of the clouds. Let the clouds dry a little and add a little Country Blue at the bottom of each cloud. Let dry. Tint (watered down color 80% water to 20% paint) here and there, using a little Indian Yellow and Naphthol Red.

AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

BACKGROUND TREES: Use your 1/2 tongue brush to wash a little Sea Aqua behind where the trees will be. The green bushes on the horizon are stippled on with Pine Green, Yellow Green Light and highlighted with Olive. This is done with your landscape brush. Shade over the bushes using Evergreen along the horizon line. Dabble in some Country Blue into the shadows. The green tree: Use Evergreen, Avocado and Olive to stipple on the leaves.

the yellow grass. You may need to deepen the shadows on the trees. This can be done with Burnt Sienna. Make sure to brighten all of the highlights because, as you know, when colors dry, they darken. Use your large, flat brush to place one coat of Duraclear Gloss Varnishâ&#x201E;˘ over the canvas. This will not make it too shiny and will seal your canvas to keep it clean and to bring out the colors.

I have been painting, drawing, and crafting since a child but my art supplies had been collecting some dust while I was busy raising my 3 active boys. It was not until 1999 that I discovered the world of decorative painting while flipping through some magazines on the newsstand. Back then. We had so many publications to choose from. I bought them all and poured over them daily with renewed excitement! I used the instructions to teach myself most of the techniques until I could get to seminars and conventions. I chose vintage furniture as my substrate...go big or go home is my mantra! Collecting vintage pieces, such as silver-plated tea sets and wooden bowls, is half the fun of painting. Garage sales and flea markets are hard to pass, as my 3 boys will attest to. I heard many groans from the back seat as I pulled over to take a quick look at another sale. I am not above picking up curbside treasures on trash day. The things people throw away simply amazes me! Painters are fortunate to have all the wonderful new mediums and paint formulas that we have today. There is virtually nothing that cannot be painted...as long as it doesn’t move too fast!

CLAY NOTES: Cover unused clay tightly with plastic wrap. It is a good idea to keep a wet, shop towel handy to keep hands, tools, and work surfaces clean as you work.

or utility knife can be used to cut the axles down if needed. Use gesso to prime the shoe.

The clay will begin to dry out if you overwork it or expose it to air for too long. If that happens, knead a few drops of water into it.

Check the foam cone for fit by inserting into the shoe. Keep in mind that the body should fit snugly once covered with clay. It should also extend above the top of the shoe by approximately ½” once covered with clay. Use the serrated knife to trim the shape if needed for a good fit. Cut a 1” slab of clay then roll out into a sheet of clay approximately 1/8” thick. Use Super Slicer to lift clay sheet. Cover the sides and top of the foam cone. Let dry. Sand as needed.

Use water on fingers or a paint brush to smooth clay as needed. If too much water is used, the clay will become mushy and stick to your hands and tools. Set it aside for a few minutes or knead it until it comes back to a good working consistency. Wet clay parts will adhere well to one another. If the clay has begun to set up, add water to both parts and apply light pressure before attaching them.

CLAY PARTS: Body:

Additional layers of clay can be added to dried clay. Dried clay can be sanded lightly to smooth and trimmed with a craft knife as needed. You may need to adjust the size of the clay shapes in the directions if your shoe is smaller or larger than the shoe used here. Considerable drying time is needed to complete this project. In cold or damp climates, drying time may take longer than usual. If the clay is cold to the touch, it is not completely dry. You can speed drying time by using a hair dryer or placing next to a he t vent or near a warm oven.

PREPARATION: Remove shoelace.

Drill holes in the shoe to accommodate the pull cord and axles. Choose a drill bit slightly bigger than the width of your axles. The axle holes need to be slightly higher than the inner sole of the shoe so the axle rests on the sole or just slightly above it. Check the axles for fit. They should fit snugly in the holes. Place wheels onto axles for fit. Adjust the wheels so they are straight. The axles need to extend 1/4” beyond the wheel to accommodate the hub caps. There should be a little “wiggle room” as well so the wheels can turn freely once the toy is assembled. A small hacksaw AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

Head:

Roll a sheet of clay to cover the foam ball. Systematically press clay and cover the entire ball pushing out air pockets as you work. Pleat and remove excess clay with craft knife. Smooth clay by gently rolling in palms or on your work surface. Use the needle tool to pierce any air pockets that may have formed. Apply white glue to one end of a toothpick and insert it 1/3 into the ball. Let dry. Sand to smooth as needed. Forehead and ears: Roll a 1” ball of clay into a 2” log. Place the log on top of the head (opposite toothpick). Use finger pressure to adhere the log and form the ears at either end of the log. Press some of the clay from the center of the log downward to form the forehead (triangular area above the beak). Flatten the top center area between the ears. Press some of the wet clay over

the back of the head as well. Use the rubber tool to indent the inside of the ears and to define the edges of the forehead. Use the side of the needle tool to create feathery texture. Let dry, then sand as needed. Beak:

Roll a 1/4” ball of clay, then form a football shape. Press onto face between eyes. Use the rubber tool to smooth edges. Use the needle tool to indent nostrils. Let dry.

top to accommodate the head. When dry, loosen the lace and gently pull the body out of the shoe. The clay will give just a little, but too much torque will cause the wings to crack. Small cracks can be mended with a little white glue and pressure. Sand, as needed, to smooth top area of body. Use the needle tool to make a hole in the top of the body to accommodate the toothpick in the owls’ head. Remove any clay residue from the shoe.

Eyes:

Roll a ½” ball of clay, then cut in half. Press onto the face, then bevel the edges with the rubber tool. Smooth with a wet shader. Let dry. Sand as needed.

Wings:

Place body inside shoe. Tighten the shoelace and tie in a bow to secure the body in place. Roll a 1 ½” ball into a 5” log then flatten into a 1” wide sheet. Cut out the wing pattern (or use as a guide) to cut the wing section. Center the wing over the top of the body then use finger pressure to taper edges over the cone. Pinch the ends of the wings and curve them forward slightly. The wings should not press against the sides of the shoe. Leave a small gap between the shoe and wings. The top of the wings will touch the top edge of the shoe. Use the needle tool to carefully texture the wings and to make a hole in the center of the

Hub caps:

Roll two ½” balls of clay. Use the slicer to cut them in half. Press onto the end of an axle, then carefully remove, and set aside to dry. Candy corn bead:

Roll a ½” ball of clay into a cone shape. Flatten the cone slightly. Use the needle tool to ream a hole directly down the center of the bead. Repeat with a toothpick to enlarge the hole. Let dry. AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

PAINTING NOTES:

Use appropriately sized brushes unless otherwise noted. Use the mop brush to soften floats as needed. Use water to thin paint as needed for line work and sheer floats. Seal dried clay with Multi-Purpose Sealer.

PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Note: Use a thin coat of Multi-Purpose Sealer to protect painted areas as you work. Mistakes are easily removed with a damp brush. OWL: Use Golden Straw plus touch of Bleached Sand to base the eyes and beak. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stress over getting paint on the adjacent areas as you will be covering any stray paint with the next step. Use Persimmon to float shading on the outer edges. Transfer eye detail or use pattern as a guide. Base the Iris with Persimmon. Use Lamp Black to base pupil and add line work. Use Bleached Sand to float a highlight on the left side of the pupil and to add a dot of reflected light in the center. Base the head and body with Slate Grey. Use Lamp Black to float shading inside the ears. Antiquing the feathers: Thin Lamp Black slightly with water and apply over wing texture. Be sure to work the paint into the nooks and crannies. Use a damp shop towel to remove paint from the high areas while the paint is still wet. Repeat with the textured areas on the head. When dry, dry brush Grey Sky to highlight the raised areas. Use the shaders and Lamp Black to dry brush the body and the smooth areas of the head. Use a light touch and a slip slap or cross hatching motion. Repeat with Grey Sky to highlight over top. SHOE: Note: All shoes are not constructed the same as the one used here. You may have to improvise to get the designs to work for your project. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to seal painted areas to protect them! AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

Sky:

Mix Grape Juice + touch of Slate Grey and store in a paint cubby. Use this mix to base coat the largest section of the shoe. Use Lamp Black to float shading around all edges of the sky. Transfer the moon pattern on each side of the shoe, taking care not to place them under the wing areas. Use Golden Straw plus a touch of Bleached Sand to base the moons. Use Persimmon to float shading and Bleached Sand to float highlights. Use the stylus and Golden Straw, dip dot the stars, one at a time. Use the liner to pull 5 arms out from the center of the dip dot. Toe box:

Use Golden Straw plus a touch of Bleached Sand to basecoat the upper half of the tongue and the toe box. Use Persimmon to float shading along the bottom of the toe box. Use Persimmon plus a touch of Golden Straw to base the vamp. Use Heritage Brick to float shading. Transfer the number pattern or use a guide to freehand them. Use Lamp Black to basecoat. Let dry, then add highlights with Bleached Sand. Graphic areas:

Use Bleached Sand to basecoat. Use the #4 shader and Lamp Black to paint stripes. Sole:

Use Lamp Black to base the sole (bottom of shoe and edges). Misc. parts:

Use Golden Straw to base the front axle and the purple mix to base the rear axle. Use Bleached Sand to base the wheels. Use the #4 shader and Lamp Black to paint stripes. Use the round brush and Bleached Sand to dry brush the center of the stripes. Use Persimmon plus a touch of Golden Straw to base the hub caps. Use the stylus and Lamp Back to add dip dots. Use Bleached Sand to base the candy corn bead. Use Golden Straw to base the center section and Persimmon to base the bottom third. Use the liner and thinned Lamp Black to paint a fine broken line to define the sections.

PAINTING WORLD MAGAZINE

Shoelace and pull string: cut two lengths of cord to desired lengths, plus a few additional inches for good measure. Use water to thin a large puddle of Persimmon. Drag the cord through the paint puddle. Use a brush to help cover well. Set aside to dry. Collar:

Cut a 14” length of ribbon or cut a strip of fabric 1” x 14” long. Apply fabric stiffener or starch according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This allows you to get sharp pleats and prevents the material from fraying. Let dry. If using wired ribbon, trim one edge off the entire length which will become the top of the collar. Make accordion folds along the ribbon or fabric strip. Open the collar and form a circle of your desired size. Trim off excess but leave two flaps at either end so you can connect them. Hand sew a basting stitch along the top edge of the collar. Be sure to run the needle through each” peak” of the accordion pleats. Pull the thread taut and tie off to secure. Run a bead of white glue on the end tabs and secure with a small binder clip or paper clip. Let dry, then remove the clip.

FINISHING:

Apply Soft Touch Varnish to all painted areas to seal wood parts and clay figure. CORDS: Wrap a small piece of cellophane tape tightly around the ends of the cords. Cut the tip off, at an angle, to make threading the cord through the holes easier. PULL CORD: Push the pull cord through the hole in the toe box, then grab it from inside the shoe and pull out several inches. Form a large knot to keep the cord secure in the shoe. Thread the other end through the large end of the candy corn bead and make a knot. Trim off excess. Loosely lace the shoe with the other cord.

OWL ASSEMBLY: Carefully insert owl body in shoe. Pull the shoestrings taut and check for fit. If the body wobbles you can glue it in place or stuff packing peanuts or cotton in the cavity to make it more secure. Tie off shoelace and fray the end of the cord. Trim as desired. Center the collar over top of body. Apply white glue to the exposed end of the toothpick and insert into hole. Let dry. Insert axles into shoe. Slide wheels onto axles. Apply a small amount of strong glue to the ends of the axles, one at a time. Press hubcaps onto axles. Let dry. AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

Pumpkins and More By Marika Moretti

My name is Marika, I am 36 years old and I live in Bologna, Italy. My adventure with painting began more than 10 years ago… I had never taken a brush in my hands at that time, but when I started, it was love at first sight and I never stopped since then! During the years, I also had the chance to take many classes with American artists, amazing and talented teachers who helped me improving my painting skills and developing my own style and, in the end… becoming myself a designer! I started creating my own designs about three years ago and I really love it! I also have been teaching during the years, even if I continue to consider myself as a student, because you never stop learning, from others, but especially from yourself, from your mistakes… or better from your creative attempts! Dear Painting World Magazine’s readers, thank you for painting this design with me! This is a Fall design with warm and vibrant colors. There are floats for shading and highlighting and also some dry brush. You will need to use the crackle medium and there is also a nice and quick decoration for the frame of the design to create the wooden effect. Have fun!

SUPPLIES

• Country Red DA018

SURFACE: • This is a surface that I personally designed. It is made of 2 different boards: one is a larger board that has the shape of a frame and the other is just a regular rectangular surface. This design can be easily adapted to many surfaces because it is basically made of a main panel (approx. 12.5”x9”) and a frame that can match the dimension.

AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

USE OF THE WEATHERED WOOD CRACKLE: When applying the crackle, use an old flat brush that needs to be moist (not wet!), so dry it out quite well on the paper towel. Remember that the crackle application needs to be quick, you don’t have to think about it too much, just apply it with short and quick strokes. You don’t have to work it out too much or over stroke it, otherwise you won’t get any crackle. You can let it dry naturally or if you are impatient (like me), you can also use a blow drier, just be careful not to dry it too much... it must be sticky, then you can apply the second color, always with quick strokes.

PREPARATION:

Sand the entire surface and clean with a tack cloth. Seal the surface with DecoArt Multi Purpose Sealer (optional) and let dry. Sand again and wipe away any remaining dust. After base coating, I suggest you lightly sand the surface with Super film or an extremely fine sanding pad before shading/highlighting. PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS: BACKGROUND: Basecoat with Midnight Blue Transfer the main line drawings. FENCE: Undercoat first with Lamp Black. When dry, lay down the crackle medium. Let dry (not completely... it must be sticky) and lay down one coat of Burlap and let dry again. If it didn’t crack, please... no panic... no stress!!! You can always line the cracks with your liner brush and Lamp Black. Let dry completely before floating colors (crackle takes a little more time). Shade with Mississippi Mud, then deepen with Soft Black: behind corn, pumpkins, lantern, and mushrooms. Shade also between fence boards and on each board to create thickness. Highlight the top a little with Burlap and Light Buttermilk. If necessary, line some cracks with Lamp Black using the liner brush.

CANDLE: Basecoat with Antique White. Dry brush the center with Light Buttermilk. Shade with Burnt Umber, then Soft Black:

Lightly on the sides and to separate the wax drop (only Burnt Umber here), on indent and at the bottom. Add wick with Lamp Black. Dry brush some Marigold to create the halo, then use the same color to make the flame. Shade the flame at the bottom with Burnt Sienna and highlight the top with Primary Yellow. LANTERN: Basecoat the lantern with Sea Glass. Dry brush, with Light Buttermilk, the center of each section: horizontal, vertical and more or less at 2 o’ clock on the “roof” (sorry... not sure if it’s the right word). Shade with Thicket: to separate sections, on sides of “roof”, at the bottom and behind pumpkins (wider here). Thicket is a cold color and I wanted to have a vintage look, so I decided to warm up

all previous floats with Asphaltum (just once is enough). Deepen with Soft Black: bottom of lantern, behind pumpkins and bottom of “roof”. GLASS (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE CANDLE): Add a wash with Light Buttermilk on the entire glass area, making sure not to go on the lantern sides. Repeat if necessary. Shade all sides with Asphaltum to add an extra vintage 1001<. Add some highlight dashes with Light Buttermilk (top left and bottom right).

LITTLE SNAILS Body:

Antique White; head and antennae: Lamp Black with Light Buttermilk highlight dot Shell:

True Ochre with Honey Brown curvy line (snail on mushroom) and Sea Glass with Thicket line (snail on the ground). Shade both at the bottom with Asphaltum or Burnt Umber, it doesn’t matter. POMEGRANATES Basecoat with True Ochre. When dry, add some dark touches by dry brushing with Burnt Umber. Add a wash of the entire area with Country Red. When dry, shade with Country Red, then deepen with Black Plum: pomegranate on the left - circular float (from 5 o’ clock to 10 o’ clock); pomegranate on the right - on left side and bottom. Dry brush on top right of each fruit with Marigold, then add highlight with Light Buttermilk. Transfer the “tips” with Country Red.

Honey Brown. Add the berries with the colors you have your palette. You can also change them and make your own color combination! Otherwise, if you want them to look like mine, you need to use Avocado Dip and Primary Yellow (for the green ones); Burnt Orange and Spiced Pumpkin (for the orange ones). MOON AND GROUND Basecoat the moon first with Antique White, then with Marigold. Shade bottom (from 5 0’clock to 10 0’clock) with Burnt Sienna. Dry brush, then float highlights on the opposite side with Primary Yellow. Dry brush the foggy area with Burnt Sienna and Marigold. Dry brush, or float on the ground area, to make the main design set on the ground with Burnt Sienna or Honey Brown (either would work). FRAME Basecoat the frame with a mix of Antique White and Light Buttermilk. When it’s all dry, use the woodgrain to create the wood effect. You can actually use the colors that you want, I decided to use Burnt Umber because I wanted to keep a natural effect. Shade between the boards with Asphaltum. Glue the painted surface on the frame and shade around the painted surface with Traditional Burnt Umber + Soft Black, then only Soft Black.

FINISHING

I love antiquing my pieces!!! You don’t have to if you don’t like it, but I think antiquing gives a warmer touch to the whole project and makes it more uniform. I take a piece of old fabric (a piece of an old T-Shirt is perfect), take some linseed oil and touch it in some Burnt Umber oil paint. Then I start rubbing on the surface until I get the effect that I like. I hope you enjoyed painting this design with me! Have a wonderful Fall! Marika

Streaky float Warm White horizontally on the sky next to the land. Some of the floats will continue across into the moon. Transfer the house shape, windows, and door. The windows and the door are already the base coat color. If they are not, paint them with Banana Cream.

A Look into the Historical Florals of Decorative Painting By Diane Marie Kellogg

AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

Part 3

PAINTING WORLD MAGAZINE

Welcome back. Part One of our series started in England and continued into France. Taking a loving look at the arts of canal boat painting, vardo painting, and tole painting. Now our journey continues into both the Netherlands and Norway for a fascinating look at both Hindenloopen and Rosemaling. The next stop on our floral filled trip is the Netherlands. Informally known as Holland, this is a country that brings to mind tulips and windmills, which have become symbols of this beautiful country. Is it any wonder that we find the origins of Hindenloopen here? Named after a harbor village from Friesland in the Netherlands, it began in the 17th century as a form of wood carving. The paint was added and created a colorful and recognizable style of design. Eventually, the designs were just painted, not carved. (See photo on page 58).

A portion of the painting, De Heer heeft gegeven, de Heer heeft genomen by Christoffel Bisschop, (1828-1904) used to show examples of the Hindeloopen style. I highly recommend a search for more of Christoffel’s art, more than one piece shows the Hindeloopen style within his paintings. Originally influenced by oriental art brought home by Dutch travelers, they mimicked porcelain by painting similar designs on wood. Acanthus scrolls and small flowers form the basis of the designs, with flowers such as poppies, daisies roses and, of course, tulips. Traditional colors include greens, blues, and reds. Pieces are also painted in different shades of a single color. The sides and bottoms of pieces were often painted using a marbleized effect.

to ‘rose painting’. A form of decorative painting, usually done on wood, that uses C and S strokes, along with scroll and line work to create a plethora of florals. Both subtle and vibrant colors can be used. The carved scrolls of Viking boats have been suggested as the precursor of rosemaling. Heddal Bygdetun is an open-air museum in Notodden, Norway that displays buildings from old farming communities that date back to the late 1800s. While there are many styles of rosemaling, three of the main styles are named for the locations where they originated, Telemark, Hallindal, and Rogaland. Each has a unique take on rosemaling. Telemark uses a Rococo style with flowing, disproportionate designs, and translucent backgrounds. Hallindal uses a Baroque style with strong colors and proportional design. Rogaland uses an oriental style with darker backgrounds, latticework, and more realistic florals. Beginning in the mid 18th century, rosemaling was a 2-D adaptation of the Baroque and Rococo artistic styles that were introduced into rural civilization. Poorer members of society trained then traveled, painting churches and homes. Regional styles developed as they moved from one place to the next. Norwegian immigrants brought this beautiful style of painting to the United States, often seen on the painted trunks they carried their belongings in. In 1860, rosemaling suffered a decline in popularity but it experienced a revival in 20th century America,

Birds and scenery are also used, the bird is meant to scare off evil spirits while the scenery is often painted very simply. This form of art would suffer a decline in the 18th and 19th centuries only to experience a revival in the late 19th century, where new forms developed including the Roosje and Huttinga styles. From here we head on to Norway and the very popular art of Rosemaling. Rosemaling translates Photo Credit – Public Domain Pictures, Pixabay.com

with Norweigen-Americans becoming interested in their ancestor’s art. Per Lysne is often credited with the revival, trained in Norway for rosemaling, he worked in the states as a wagon painter. When business slowed during the Great Depression, he started rosemaling again.

AUGUST 2020 ISSUE

I interviewed Jan Boettcher, a painter, and teacher who started her journey into rosemaling in 1980. With a heritage of Norwegian, Danish, and German she followed in her NorwegianAmerican ancestor’s footsteps, looking to paint as earlier ancestors had. Her grandmother’s family had come to the states from the Valdres area of Norway. Since her first class, she has continued to learn, taking classes at Vesterheim and in Norway. Jan uses oils, following tradition. She does, however, also paint on nontraditional pieces.

PAINTING WORLD MAGAZINE

She studies old pieces for ideas and possibilities, she may use one aspect of the piece to work out a new design. She points out that many aspects of rosemaling are symbolic, referencing the original painting of churches and that even the strokes have a ‘meaning or a symbolism’. She plans to write a book on Rosemaling in the future. As a teacher, she not only teaches the painting but also the history of rosemaling. She has graciously given us two Hallindal designs to use in our own art. See pages 62-63. I highly recommend you learn more about Rosemaling and Jan from her website and social media pages.

FINISHING:

Outline as desired with Carbon Black. Spray with DecoArt® Matte Sealer Finisher Spray. Adhere flat back crystals to the eyes on the pumpkin and the choker.

OCTOBER 31 AND LITTLE BATS: To create some depth, I used a palette knife and the Halloween Subway Words stencil to add the “October”. Hold the stencil in place and gently apply the Black Modeling paste with a palette knife. Let dry, then repeat for the “31st” Optionally, you can just stencil with Lamp Black. Repeat to add the tiny bats randomly onto the background. AUGUST 2020 ISSUE
