Perfumes Many people are intimidated by the word decoupage or anything related to it. Please don’t be. I love multimedia projects. It actually takes some of the work out of the project. Even gold leaf is not hard to accomplish and adds so much to the piece. Experiment with anything you paint. The creativity in yourself comes out.
By Diane Trierweiler
I have been painting for about 45 years. I began with oil as my medium and then moved on to acrylics and watercolors. Thirty-three years ago, I opened a decorative painting shop in Norco, California called The Tole Bridge, where I teach classes regularly. I travel teach to painting chapters and conventions. I have a full line of packets, books and DVDs. I also have my own line of specialty brushes. The joy of painting and teaching has ďŹ lled my life with much satisfaction and it has given me the chance to meet so many wonderful people.
