I have just received a photo of the first piece for our David Jansen MDA seminar November 9-11, 2012 in San Diego, CA and am very excited to share it with you.

This lesson will focus on a mottled background, the structure of flowers, flowers in different positions for interest.  There are so many things to learn in this beautiful lesson.

I wanted to share with all of you a brand new ebook which has been written by David Jansen MDA.  It is titled Norwegian Rosemaling and is only 9.95 and is available for immediate downloading.  It is loaded with hundreds of step photos and many video tutorials.  It is the best new format for books to come around and is a steal at the price.  I only wish I had had this type of product when I was learning to paint or exploring a new genre. Give a great new book a try.  A team of artists have three more ebooks to be released soon in this same format.

This book can be purchased by clicking on the following link:  Norwegian Rosemaling Ebook
