Painting With A Blessing

Two lovely ladies spent some time with me on Thursday, March 18, 2021, creating lovely basic paintings. They have been getting together, painting along with Donna Dewberry on her You Tube videos for several months, and they had questions about some specific Onestroke techniques. I enjoy the smaller classes where we can relax and pay close individual attention to unique details and some of their experiences. We continued with the Rosebuds and Wisteria since it is a good, basic painting. We had fun and laughed a lot. The next time we will paint Sunflowers or Wildflowers, which are also good basic paintings with different types of leaves and some new techniques.

I can teach painting classes one-on-one at my studio in South Greensburg, PA. The prices are as follows for a scheduled three-hour class: One-on-one with Gloria: $50 per student... Two or three students: $45 per student Four or five students: $40 per student Six or more students: $35 per student NOTE: Classroom is limited to four students at this time for social distancing. Masks are optional at this time. $10 per student -- per extra hour(s) if needed (in addition to the original three-hour class). All Scheduled Classes must be pre-paid and are non-refundable. I will provide all supplies. Thank you!

NEWS in Western Pennsylvania: I will be teaching a three-hour Painting Class on Friday, March 5, 2021, from 9:00 a.m. to Noon at the Westmoreland County Community College Adult Continuing Education Classes. No experience necessary.... Men and women welcome. Please see more details below. To Register, Call: 724-925-4204 or 1-800-262-2103 EXT. 4204 Gloria Casale, One Stroke Certified Instructor Level 1 and Level 2

One of the students, Mary Ann, attended the Donna Dewberry One Stroke Acrylic Painting class at the GloriLand Art Studio and Gallery in South Greensburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, November 21, 2020. Mary Ann had never worked with the One Stroke technique before, but I could tell that she listened intently to everything I explained. It was amazing to see that she knew when something was not quite right. She would pause and practice the Stroke until she "got it" -- and then ...tried again. The result and reward for her hard work is this BEAUTIFUL painting of Cardinals that she is delighted with. Mary Ann has attended "Painting With A Twist" before, but this is the first time that she attended a "Painting With A Blessing" class. It was great meeting new friends and spending a chilly, rainy Saturday afternoon in the cozy comfort of the GloriLand Art Studio and Gallery. If anyone would like to schedule a Donna Dewberry One Stroke Acrylic Painting Class, the prices are as follows: One-on-one with Gloria: $50.00 per student 2 or 3 in class: $45.00 per student 4 or 5 in class: $40.00 per student 6 or more in class: $35.00 per student I will provide all of the supplies you will need for your painting. No experience necessary; men and women welcome. Class is three hours long, beginning with a lot of practice and detailed explanations, emphasizing how to paint the basic strokes, how to position the brush, double-load the brush with paint, etc. Once you learn the basic strokes, everything else will come easily; I felt it was important to add the extra hour before we actually start the painting. The more you paint, the more "automatic" the One Stroke technique becomes. At this time, class size is limited to four because of social distancing. Scheduled classes must be PRE-PAID and NON-REFUNDABLE. Unfortunately, I have learned THE HARD WAY to require this. People are much more careful to "show up" if paid in advance. TWO out of SIX "showed up" for this class, but we had fun anyway. LOVE and BLESSINGS!!! <3 Gloria

I recently painted THREE SETS of wooden Angel Wings with matching Picture Frames. The frames can be used Horizontally or Vertically for a standard size 8" x 10" photograph. The Angel Wings attach with VELCRO so you can change the picture as desired, in Portrait or Landscape mode. I am still getting new ideas to try, so this project is still in the experimental stage. I tried three different shades of brown -- let me know your opinion -- which color you like best. NOTE: My... Level II Certification Certificate for Donna Dewberry's Onestroke Technique of Acrylic Painting is displayed in the very first set that I painted. All three of these sets have SOLD at $50 per set plus $3 PA Sales Tax -- also Plus Shipping where applicable. Let me know if you would like to order one or more handpainted sets from me. They are NICE for a memorial photograph, Wedding pictures, School pictures, Baby pictures, Pet pictures, Certificates, a Song sheet, a Scriptural message such as Psalm 91 -- really -- great gifts for ANY occasion, limited only by your imagination. The three sets pictured here in this post happen to be Mother's Day gifts. LOVE and BLESSINGS!!! Gloria

Since we are to quarantine until the end of April, it will be best for the classes to be ON HOLD for now, until further notice. We will hope to reschedule for May, but classes will be canceled and rescheduled ASAP. Thank you!!! LOVE, PRAYERS, and BLESSINGS!!! Gloria <3

Please NOTE: Painting classes may have to be postponed and rescheduled if the Coronavirus restrictions are still in place. In the meantime, please be aware that Donna Dewberry has many FREE videos on YouTube where she demonstrates and teaches short Onestroke classes. Donna explains everything she is doing in detail as she paints. You can learn much from her by watching, listening, and even painting along with her. Take notes as you watch the videos, and let us know if there... is anything specific that you would like for us to cover when we are able to resume the painting classes after restrictions are lifted. If you would like to have your own paints and supplies to practice with, you may browse Onestroke.com and order any supplies for yourself to work with. LOVE, PRAYERS, and BLESSINGS!!! Gloria <3
