How It All Began...

Donna Dewberry started painting many years ago when her six children were young.  She taught herself without books and instructions and had a natural talent for decorative art.

In 1995 the One Stroke Program was started with the association of Plaid (the makers of the Folk Art Paints, essential to the One Stroke Technique).

One Stroke is a decorative art that lends itself to furniture, boxes, frames, walls and so on.  The learning method is quick and simple and the results achieved with very little tuition are amazing.

For someone like myself who has never been able to paint or draw, this technique enables me to feel like an artist, finally.  Through the pages of this blog I hope to be able to express myself in many ways and hope that some of you will be encouraged to try this wonderful style of painting for yourselves.
