Donna Dewberry
Home Decorating
A native Floridian, mother of seven and grandmother of eight, Donna Dewberry has been involved with painting and crafts for more than 25 years.
Donna Dewberry began decorative painting, she says, “because she wanted to enhance items in her home with her own designs.” She started with what she calls "dot," which uses the end of the brush handle to paint shapes. She eventually got up the courage to use the bristle end of the brush. After many evenings at her dining room table and learning by observation, Donna Dewberry developed FolkArt® One Stroke™, a technique for stress-free, stroke-by-stroke decorative painting. One Stroke focuses on loading the brush rather than theories of light and dark, shading and highlighting.
“It's a technique for the masses,” says Donna. “One Stroke™ teaches people how to paint flowers--a popular subject and one of the most difficult to paint. With One Stroke, creating beautiful flowers is all a matter of how you load the brush."
With her One Stroke™ Teacher Certification Program, Donna Dewberry has certified more than 6,000 painters as One Stroke Certified Instructors (OSCIs). These teachers live all over the world, and consistently offer classes for new and experienced One Stroke™ students. Not only is Donna in high demand as a teacher, but also as an interior designer and speaker. She makes regular appearances on television networks in America and Canada. She is also a columnist in several arts and crafts publications.
Donna Dewberry’s love of painting has expanded from traditional décor to painting on glass and ceramics with FolkArt® Enamels™, to outdoor surfaces with FolkArt® Outdoor, and to fabric and textiles with FolkArt® Fabric. Although Donna is a successful painter, she still considers her most import success to be her family. Donna’s husband works with her, and their seven children and eight grandchildren have also played key roles in her success by helping out with drawing, painting, and even distribution.
