Decorative folk painting

"Each of the 20 painting projects contains elaborate directions, from painting different color roses to capturing Pennsylvania Dutch motifs on metalware. Even more impressive are the details of preparation, painting, equipment, and, more specifically, brushstrokes. Methods of applying dots, scrolls, tendrils, and stippling, among other techniques, are both discussed and illustrated."--Booklist. 128 pages, 40 color illus., 100 b/w illus., 8 1/4 x 10 1/4.
