What is Decorative Painting?*

Decorative Painting is a diverse art form utilizing a variety of techniques and media to decorate functional and nonfunctional surfaces.

Decorative Painting is a highly teachable art form.  Instructors will lead the student through a series of easy steps to complete the project.  Patterns may be used. This allows a high degree of success without academic training or inherent drawing ability . Contemporary decorative painting offers opportunities for artistic self-expression and creative satisfaction.

Decorative painting can be learned by anyone who is willing to put forth a little effort and practice to learn the techniques. You don’t need to be able to draw or choose colors schemes…there are many talented designers in the world who have done this for you in many books and patterns. You can start with simple basic designs suitable for beginner skills. You can advance to more sophisticated painting techniques and designs in the fine art realm. You can make your own designs! Paint a table, chair, canister, canvas, or any object you want to decorate! Join us for the fun!

Whether you are an experienced artist or just beginning your decorative painting journey, you will find great resources and become inspired by all of the activities that we offer.

We invite you to be our guest at one of our Member Meetings. Time and location are listed under Calendar of Events. You won’t be disappointed!
