  Decorative painting is a wonderful way of bringing colour into your home and is an immensely popular craft - perhaps because you can create such impressive results with the minimum of skills and equipment. This volume includes full step-by-step instructions for a range of projects that should appeal to those new to this craft as well as those with some experience. The 15 colourful projects for the home show a selection of designs being used on a variety of surfaces, from wood and MDF to metal, ceramics and plastic. Many of the projects use the popular one-stroke painting technique which is clearly illustrated in step-by-step photographs, from the honeysuckle and blossom tray to the fuchsia screen. Special gallery pages illustrate variations on the techniques explored in the projects and provide further inspiration and ideas for the amateur or professional painter. There is also a comprehensive introductory section, covering tools, equipment and techniques, including step-by-step instructions for the different brushstrokes.
