Instruction Kits for Country Painting

HSEAD now has produced six kits of instruction for specific Country Painting projects.  These should be of great help to an applicant who does not have ready access to a teacher, or is working alone while doing his/her  piece for Brazer Guild membership. 

The purpose of each kit is to instruct the Applicant on how to paint this particular pattern. They are not meant to be general instruction in Country Painting but to be a specific lesson of the particular piece. 

The contents of each kit include an actual color photo of a good example of the finished project, and a sheet of true, hand – painted color samples.  This sample sheet is particularly important since the colors do not reproduce with complete accuracy in a photograph.  (The color sample sheet is the same in all the kits.) 

 You also get a full size tracing of the pattern, a supply list, and several pages of step-by-step instructions for each phase of the work – applying paints, varnish, the design, and the finish.  They are packed in a heavy clear plastic envelope that is ideal for storage.

Each of the first three kits is for a different tray.  Each of kits 4-6 is for a different trunk.  Click any picture to see a larger version.

The cost of the kits is $25.00 each, plus shipping and handling.  Order by number.
