Rosemaling means "rose painting" in Norwegian, and is done in many styles reflective of specific regions in Norway. The Os region in western coastal Norway is known for its fanciful flowers and bright colors, making it quite different from many of the other styles of rosemaling. In this online session, Kim will focus on flowers and leaves in this style, with lots of demonstration, recommended practice exercises and plenty of Q&A. Watch and learn or paint along, your choice. Some rosemaling experience recommended.

You will need the following tools for this class:

A laptop or tablet is recommended, but a desktop with a webcam and audio or a smartphone phone can work. If using a tablet or laptop, plug your device in or have your charger handy!  Be sure to have a strong internet connection.

If you want to paint along, have standard rosemaling supplies, a practice board in black or another dark color and the following colors on-hand:

• Thalo Blue or Ultramarine Blue
• Crimson Lake by Holbein or Alizarin Crimson
• Cadmium Yellow light
• Cadmium yellow deep
• Cadmium red light
• ivory black or mars
• titanium
• zinc white

Remember, it’s just practice, so substitutions or omissions are okay.
