  1. New Business Announcement

    July 29, 2011 by Administrator

    I am writing announce that after 22 years with the Lansing School District, I have started my own business specializing in face painting, mural painting and painting lessons. This business is named Celestine Paints. To find out more about my business venture and to see samples of my work please view my website: www.celestinepaints.com/home.
    Celestine Paints offers painting lessons to small groups of adults or children. The painting lessons are for beginners (including people who cannot draw a straight line). I offer classes through Lansing Parks and Recreation and other outlets. The One Stroke Painting technique introduces students to painting as a hobby while completing a project in each painting session. Celestine Paints also offers painting parties (for adults and children).
    I am an experienced face painter offering face painting for private parties, schools and community agencies. My face painting rates are $75.00 for the first hour and $25.00 per hour for additional hours. Schools and community agencies receive a $25.00 discount. I provide professional quality face paints and all supplies.
    If you are aware of any friends who might be looking for lessons, face painting or mural painting please forward the enclosed information to them. Regardless of whether you are able to help me with my business start-up, I appreciate your review and consideration of this announcement.
    Sincerely,
    Celestine

  3. Painting with Donna Dewberry

    July 19, 2011 by Administrator

    I attended the Donna Dewberry- NEW BEGINNINGS – The Summit Painting Conference last week in Orlando Fla. Wow, did I learn a lot and had fun too!

    For those who do not know, Donna Dewberry teaches One Stroke Painting on TV – PBS- Create and HSN.  One Stroke Painting is the simplest way to learn to paint that I have found.  You can learn to paint beautiful things with just one lesson and of course some practice.

    The New Beginnings/ Summit was attended by over 100 One Strokers, many are Certified One Stroke Instructors from all over the nation and the world. We had a blast and learned many new things at the same time.

     

    Painting highlights included painting with wOil (water mixable oils) and face painting using Arty Cakes.

    I strongly recommend One Stroke for those who want to learn to paint. There are instructors all over.  Maybe next year you will join us at the Summit annual conference!

  5. Simple One Stroke Greeting Cards

    July 7, 2011 by Administrator

    Simple One Stroke Greeting Cards

    These simple greeting cards were painted on watercolor paper using Plaid Folk Art paints.

    The background is painted first.  I used a dampened brush to slightly wet the paper.  I added the muted stripes of bright color allowing the colors to bleed.

    The vines, ferns and leaves were painted after the background dried. The foreground plants were painted using black/licorice paint and floating medium together on the brush.
