More About OneStroke ... and OneStrokers!

OneStroke is a relatively new decorative art technique, developed by a busy mother who wanted to paint ... but never had before. She taught herself to paint, and then to paint in a way that was fast but so effective ...

Donna Dewberry

Donna Dewberry is a native Floridian, wife, mother of seven, and fantastic self-taught painter. She developed the fast and simple-to-learn OneStroke technique for her own needs.

Donna holds that one can enrich ones own life and that of others by sharing the skills one develops and acquires through life. Following this philosophy, painters of all abilities are encouraged to try her technique.

Brush technique

The open secret of OneStroke is brush technique ... get that right and you're there.

OneStroke is a technique of brush loading with different colours or hues, and with a single stroke create a leaf or petal with all the variations in shade with which a painter using traditional techniques could struggle for hours.

Donna has created a pragmatic system of painting wherein you can learn specific loading processes and stroke patterns to give you a picture of which you can be proud .... in minutes!

Janet's qualifications

Janet qualified as a OneStroke Certified Instructor (OSCI) with Donna in Boston, and remains as fascinated with One Stroke as when she first saw Donna paint roses!

Janet will help you understand and practice the simple techniques that enable ANYONE to paint, within a day, a project that you will be proud to display in your home.... and then maybe help you develop your skills still further ...

Practice

With practice you will soon develop brush control, which Donna believes to be the key to great painting. She says, please, "relax, practice, and paint, paint, paint." Jan knows that she is learning all the time .... she uses that excuse to keep returning to the USA (for continuous education!).

Even those who have a deep seated conditioning of a lack of artistry, can break completely and swiftly with such self-limiting and destructive beliefs.

Stress buster

Learn, practice and enjoy the stress-reducing, tension-relieving pastime of decorative painting using this easy-to-learn technique.
