Description
In this class we will explore the Os style of rosemaling, which is from the west coast of Norway south of Bergen in Hordaland. Os is a fun style of painting. With this project we will be using a bright color palette. You will learn what the characteristics are that define the Os style and what makes it unique. We will discuss the elements of design that are used in Os. The project is an Os style tray, and the woodenware is also characteristic of that area. The instructor will have other designs available or gladly help you make a design of your own. She will encourage students to try designing, which helps to understand the style better. Her biggest goal is to help you understand the Os style!
