Average Customer Ratings:

This guide takes Donna Dewberry's one-stroke painting one step further -- introducing readers to more advanced approaches to realistic-style decorative painting with acrylics. Using the same multi-loading methods and updated color schemes, decorators can learn how to paint realistic-looking one-stroke flowers, fruits, leaves and other motifs on furniture and related accessories to make complete room ensembles. Each of the 10 projects is based on a painted piece of furniture or room with an existing theme and the accessories that accompany that theme, and include a kitchen table and chairs, wall plates and cabinets. Donna provides complete, step-by-step examples on how to add details to flowers, how to shade and highlight fruit to give it dimension, how to match colors to existing room decor, and more.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

decorative furniture with donna dewberry -
Great book for anyone who thinks they can't paint freehand! Donna Dewberry is the master of instructional simplicity when it comes to showing just how easy it is for anyone to do decorative painting. A+

Just wonderful! -
Donna Dewberry is an amazing artist who shows you step by step how to create beautiful decorations on furniture in your home. Decorative Furniture was written with the beginner painter in mind. Everything is made simple, and it starts from square one.

Decorative Furniture starts out by showing you what materials you will need to complete every project in the book. Amazingly, it isn't a huge list of materials. Donna Dewberry strives for simple, yet extraordinary projects. She also shows you what brushes are needed and how to load them with paint.

This book also covers basic one-stroke painting techniques, such as how to make a vine, leaf, or flower. Even if you already know the one-stroke painting techniques, this serves as a very useful reminder of how things should look.

My favorite part of this book is how it teaches you how to do special effects such as giving a piece a textured look, such as the project on page 32. I plan to start this one soon!

As with all Donna Dewberry's books, don't feel that the projects are only for furniture. You really can use the same techniques, and patterns on nearly anything you wish to paint!
