If you've never painted, this is a great way to learn all the basics! If you haven’t painted in a long time, this is a great refresher course!
I know first-hand how exciting and even a little nerve wracking it can be to learn anything new for the very first time.
Well, fear not. Tole painting (also referred to as decorative painting) is a step-by-step, fail-proof process. I guide you every step of the way. You can't fail.
I teach you how to hold each different brush so that it performs the way it should. With practice it becomes easier. Believe me! I was a beginner too.
The following are basic painting supplies included with your course:
1-inch sponge brush
#12 Flat brush
#3 Round brush
#1 Liner brush
The brushes are manufactured by Heinz-Jordan and are artist quality grade to ensure that your tole and decorative painting classes are a success.
5 x 7 Practice Journal
1 wood surface
4 glazed ceramic tiles (4" x 4")
Line drawings
2 sheets Graphite Paper
4 sheets tracing paper
Instructional Pamphlet and notebook to take home.
Use of all paints, sealers and varnishes while in the studio.
You will gain a solid foundation of painting skills including:
surface preparations
basecoating backgrounds
basecoating forms and elements within a design
Pressure Strokes
Linerwork
Comma Stroke
C-Stroke
S-Strokes
Colour Tipping
Double Loading
Floating highlights and shadows
Colour mixing
and much more!
If you've always dreamed of being able to paint gifts, home decor pieces, furniture, walls, floors, ceramics, fabrics or whatever...this is the perfect foundation course for you to learn how to tole paint.
Once you've taken this course in tole painting you'll be able to paint on your own and explore ways of furthering your painting skills by taking other classes and workshops from me and other instructors.
There are wonderful books, magazines and online classes that can also help to fuel your imagination.
This is a wonderful hobby for anyone who needs a creative outlet.
Whether you're a natural or you feel you don't have what it takes, I CAN teach you.
2020 SCHEDULE
DATE: to be announced
TIME: 9:30 AM to 5:00 on both days
FEE: $350 per person
NOTICE:
Lessons for "How to Tole Paint" have been postponed in the wake of the Covid-19 virus outbreak.
Please do all you can to keep yourselves, your loved ones
and your neighbours healthy and safe.

On both days we paint from 9:30am to 5:00pm.
There are two 15-minute breaks. One mid-morning and another mid-afternoon.
There is a 30 minute break for lunch around NOON.
You'll learn all you need to know to give you a solid foundation for future projects. Believe me, there's lots to learn. But it's a whole heap of fun!
As you begin to practice what you're learning in your tole painting lessons, you'll be encouraged to fill pages in your personal art journal (included in your course).
I think having an art journal is very important because it will serve as a reference guide when I am no longer there and you are painting by yourself. Plus, you DO have to practice, that's how you hang on to what you learned during your tole painting lessons.
You'll learn about your new brushes and supplies. You'll learn some new terminology and a brief history of tole and decorative painting.
You'll learn the right way of holding and loading paint onto a flat brush and onto a round brush. You'll learn decorative painting by doing strokework with a round and a flat brush as well as learning to float color with a flat brush to create highlights and shadows. Plus much, much more!!
