Hi painting friends!  We have some exciting events coming up here in the editorial office – two popular artists are coming in for photo shoots for their new books.  First up is decorative painter Donna Dewberry, inventor of the One-Stroke painting technique and well known for her weekly TV shows on PBS and her appearances on the Home Shopping Network. Donna is loved and admired around the world because she has shown how fun and easy it is to paint, even if you can’t draw a straight line.

The following week, Dorothy Dent is coming in for her photo shoot. Dorothy is best known for her country landscapes and paintings of nostalgic rural scenes, old barns, little country churches, grist mills and so much more. She paints mainly in oils and acrylics and has the ability to create gorgeous light-filled landscapes. In fact, one of her most recent books, Painting Landscapes Filled with Light, shows you how to do just that!

While these artists are here, we will be interviewing them about their painting techniques and we’ll post photos of both Donna and Dorothy in action during their photo shoots. If you have any questions you’d like to ask them, please post a comment or reply to this blog and we’ll be sure to post their answers in our upcoming blogs during the month of April.  Stay tuned!
