Surprising Places to Practice Brushstrokes


One way to pass a boring winter is to remove the spindles on a ramp or deck one at a time and bring them indoors to paint on.


The design on this red one is 4 different variations of a pattern that I was trying to decide on for a Dala Horse. I needed to practice the brushstrokes and this project gave me a lot of that.


The other advantage of this project is that it's a showcase for all of the different ways that I like to paint and provides handy examples when I'm hosting events or giving painting classes.


It also brightens up the winter and entertains my neighbors.
