Decorative Painting is a diverse art form. There are as many techniques as there are teachers and every imaginable medium is used. Decorative Painting is used to decorate functional and non-functional surfaces. It is "method painting" or "step-by-step" painting and therefore it is a very teachable art form. Decorative Painting certainly offers those who get involved many opportunities for self-expression and creative satisfaction. Give it a try --- you're sure to enjoy it.
