Starting Off An Artistic Enterprise With Tole Painting Patterns

By Carol Hughes


Beautifying your home can be an expense and stress riddled enterprise. Usually, the way to go is to buy those exquisite trappings and accessories that you see through those window shops, or else hire a splendid designer to spruce up your lusterless space. You just dont have enough confidence in your own artistic talents to attempt a DIY. However, the alternative is that exorbitant hiring and purchasing that can possibly result to buyers remorse. So its time to jack up your creative powers and get some tole painting patterns.

There are a lot of things in the household that can do with a little tweaking and makeover. A decorative method geared for this is tole art. It originated in Europe, specifically in Scandinavia, though it also has variations in Britain, Germany, and Russia. Its modern development is based in America, however, with the creation of the Society of Decorative Painters.

A pattern for this art form, which can come in books and packets, can also be availed. This instructional manual has blow by blow directions and variegated patterns. For reference and inspiration, you may view the finished photo at the front or side of the package. Whether youre a beginner, advanced beginner, or an expert, theres a corresponding template just for you.

Tole art is usually applied in three dimensional objects, more so than in flat canvas. You can paint on furniture like tables, chairs, toy boxes, and hope chests. Or else on containers like baskets, magazine holders, and cookie boxes. Kitchenware applications are also common, in china, coffee pots, utensils, canister, cups, and mugs. The craft can also be done on fabric, leather, and various thingamabobs like wastebaskets and tissue boxes.

Tole is the choicest genre because you can do it not just anywhere but also anyhow. There is no limit in the ways it is produced. Just let your hand skate across the object or the canvas. However, hesitation can be well founded when youre new to the technique. Thats the high time to get yourself a tole pattern. The common themes are usually cutesy and whimsical subjects such as flowers, bears, bunnies, birds, butterflies, swans, and nostalgic scenery.

The medium used is usually acrylic because it is relatively cheap and long lasting. It also dries quickly, which will enable you to easily layer other colors over it. As was said, tole is usually done on wood and tin, but papier mache, terra cotta, and plastic products are also widely used.

There are essential elementary skills to be learned when you venture on this form of decorative painting. There is the priming, sanding, sealing, base coating, varnishing, and staining of the object. Methods you can go by are bronzing, gold leafing, stenciling, graining, faux finishing, and theorem painting. Outside of American tole, you may also adopt techniques from its associates, Russian lacquering, Rosemaling, kurbits, and japanning.

Because it is systematic and standardized, this form of decorative painting is easily teachable and learnable. Even without an inherent artistic talent, this is achievable by your average layman. That is, as long as he is willing and disciplined enough to practice.

When you have been doing it long enough, youll be able to attempt free hand drawing and learn the according theories, perspectives, and techniques. In the meantime, painting books and patterns can be your handy helpmate. In the long run, though, rest assured youll be able to take your art in a new direction.
