Rosemaling Classes

Wisconsin State Rosemaling Association

You will learn the Os style of rosemaling, which is on the west coast of Norway, from Vesterheim Gold Medalist, Nancy Schmidt.

Os is a bright and fanciful style of rosemaling with colors that pop and imaginative flowers that draw your attention. The geometric designs and distinct linework in the leaves make this style truly magnificent to see and fun to paint!

We will be painting a 14" shallow bowl. Nancy paints in oils, which do lend themselves better to this style. If you are more comfortable with acrylics, you may use them, but it is more difficult to achieve the transparency of Os. This class is preferably geared more for intermediate to advanced painters.

This class will feature a Hallingdal design inspired by older, more traditional pieces. The design will have a floral center and be a beautiful enhancement for the bowl.

Various Os flowers, scrolls, leaves, and detail strokes will enhance this box. We will decorate the box inside as well as outside. The outside and inside of the lid will be backgrounded in Black and the inside of the box will be backgrounded with a lighter color. (Americana Bleached Sand) We will do some lazuring on the Bleached Sand for a textured look. This is a very colorful and happy piece.
