Folk Art Style

by Sybil Edwards

Three distinct genres of decorative painting--traditional strokework, bold painting, and blending--are explored here, demonstrating the brush strokes and illustrating the huge variety of effects achievable. Traditional folk motifs, medieval florals, illuminated manuscripts, Art Deco designs, contemporary minimalism--all these and more are used as inspiration for 18 stylish projects to transform readily available, everyday objects into superb heirlooms that are a pleasure to own or to give as gifts.
