The History of Walter T. Foster:
More than 80 years ago, Mr. Walter T. Foster proved you can accomplish anything you can dream! Having painted signs, sold hog medicine, performed in a stage act -- and invented the postage-stamp vending machine -- Mr. Foster turned to publishing. The "how to" art books he wrote, illustrated, printed, bound, packaged, and shipped on his own soon grew in popularity, and Mr. Foster became well known for proving that anyone can learn to draw. Today the Walter Foster Publishing company carries on the tradition, developing books and kits that encourage creativity and spark imaginations.
Hop to it and paint a bunny!
I normally use bright colors for my decorating palette. Jewel tones in Native American colors - red, green, navy, clay, etc. Now I've got new furniture and it runs in sage greens and a deep burnt red and gold colors. LOVE it and it feels very calm yet pretty. I'd love to learn more about using color in decorating because I've never felt I had a good knack at it and would really like to.
