Folk Art Acrylic Paints

 For all decorative painting, Folk Art acrylic paints give the best results, they dry quickly, are odour free, easy to use and come in a wide variety of colours.
The One Stroke technique is based on the use of these paints exclusively for best results.  Their rich and creamy formulation and long open time make them perfect for all types of decorative painting.  They are offered in a huge range of wonderful, pre-mixed colours and lots of metalic and pearl shades.
Folk Art Artists' Pigments are colours that are perfect for mixing your own shades.  Their intense colours and creamy texture make blending, shading and highlighting easy.
If you are starting out and want to buy a small selection of  paint colours, you may like to know that the most commonly used paint colours in Donna's learning guides (and therefore in class) are:
Berry Wine
Wicker White
Thicket
School Bus Yellow
Yellow Ochre
Sunflower
Dioxazine Purple
Rose Garden
Maple Syrup
Licorice

The concept of One Stroke is that it is based on the use of two colours at any one time (sometimes three) both colours are opposites one light one dark, one that makes the highlights and one that makes the shadows. The mid range colours, while pretty and occasionally useful, are not easy to use with the One Stroke technique.
