Learn to Paint - How to Paint a Cabbage Rose! (OFFICIAL VIDEO) 

Here I am at 32 watching this, knee deep in the technique along with my sister who is now 30 trying to learn one-stroke in honor of my mother who LOVED your videos and tutorials in the early 2000’s. (She passed in 2016). My favorite thing she left behind were all the clay pots and paintings she made with one-stroke technique. Thank you Donna for making my mom so happy and continuing to teach the tradition!

I’m 33, an active artist, and learning techniques like this really gets me excited. I’m not formally trained other than high school art classes, and when things click like this for me I’m reminded that learning is SO IMPORTANT at any age!!

As I a kid, I always remember my mom buying your kits so she could learn to paint🥺 she passed away a few years ago. And recently I’ve been wanting to learn to paint and instantly thought of how my mom loved you! So here I am. Can’t wait to try your techniques myself! Love your art and your videos! ❤️thank you for making it easy for us(:

When i was a kid i begged my parents to buy me a Donna Dewberry one stroke painting kit. I watched her regularly on KCET and always wanted to call the phone number listed on the screen. I recognized the thumbnail and the iconic painting style as I was scrolling through RU-vid. What an inspiration! Thanks, Donna!

As a 20 year artist and muralist worldwide, I started my art career learning to paint international folk arts. After being away from my brushes and easel for too many years, Donna's Cabbage Rose video has given me renewed excitement. Her easy to follow techniques and teaching expertise are what counts for me. Thank you so much. Dawna Taylor Jones

Hi, Donna! I’m your aunt Kathy’s great granddaughter! Greetings from Alaska!! 💗 Love finding about all the artists in my family 🥰 God has truly blessed us!

Here is an inspiring story for you. Back when there was only Dial UP Internet, I went to the magazine rack and found an amazing Painting Lesson by Donna Dewberry. Each piece within the magazine looked majestic, yet I knew I could quickly learn and accomplish. My first rose, buds, petals came out looking like hers. Everyone marveled. It was my source of joy and an outlet in an extremely abusive marriage, where the internet and socializing was forbidden. I still have my first creation and it started me on looking at the flowers around the house and learning to paint with one stroke. We don't know the big debate that is happening here within these conversations; but one thing I know for sure, she introduced it to Canada and the US and exposed us to paint like a professional but with ease and without having to take a years worth of courses. Bless you Donna Dewberry.

And I thought there was nothing new under the sun. Original, effective, gorgeous. I'm not easily impressed, but I'm totally impressed by this technique. 10 out of 10. You owned it.

I use to watch you when I was much younger. Glad you are online and I look forward to work on this one stroke method again!

I loved watching you as a kid. I still love to create. Thank you for sharing your art ❤

Hun, DON'T EVER apologize, for your talent, that pleases so many. CLEARLY Trolls are trying to control your emotions and get you down. Dismiss negativity, delete it, or have someone do it for you. Replace it with all the positivity you have that is CLEARLY displayed. And continue on your happy path. We must learn to stop the negativity from affecting us, and penetrating our spirits. Positive Affirmation, Don't allow people to walk into your mind with dirty shoes. Best of Luck!!

I remember my mom watching your videos when I was a kid. She passed when I was 13. Finding you again made me tear up 🥹 love your flowers ❤

I think for many of us your cabbage rose is what got us started with One Stroke Painting. It's still one of my favorites! Thank you, Donna!

You make it look so easy. I’ve missed you. I use to watch you on PBS till they took you off the air. I brought the brushes and everything. Now that I’ve found you again it’s time to get back to work.😊

I love you Donna! You got me painting 8 yrs ago when you were teaching on regular TV. I went out and purchased your products from Michael's. Since then I have migrated into Face Painting with this technique and because of you I now own my own business! Thank you for sharing your talent and sparking my LOVE for one stroke painting! ❤️❤️❤️😚🤗

I love that you walk us through from the very beginning the technique slowly. I feel like a lot of tutorials automatically assume you know the basics, even the beginner tutorials. Thank you so much! This is my moms favorite flower and I'm going to paint her this for mother's day. ❤🌷

Oh my gosh!!! Years ago I use to watch videos of you teaching techniques and here you are again! That’s wonderful because I have to learn all over again. So glad to see you again and looking forward to binge watching all of the rest of your videos so I can start on my projects soon. ❤️

I have seen many people painting before, but you have the touch, I love the way you explain perfectly how to paint slowly, specially for beginners, so people can see how you move your hands and the brushes. Thank you very much, I really appreciate your lessons. ☺️

Wow, I'm so happy I found you after all these years. You look great!! I took your One Stroke classes in the 80's. I found so much joy learning your techniques, practicing strokes and making things. Thank you💕🌷

Gorgeous. You make this look so simple. I'm a shabby chic girl. This is perfect. You have inspired me, doll. God bless you, Donna.

Oh how wonderful to know you have a RU-vid channel. I have so many books and brush sets of yours. Wow did I paint a lot of your one stroke flowers ect. So good to see you still doing painting tutorials. I’m going to get my paints and brushes out and enjoy some painting again. Thank goodness I saved all my books from back when tile painting was so popular. 😊

Absolutely gorgeous

I paint because of you. I bought a kit off a home shopping show. One day you talked to the audience, saying anyone who has a kit but never opened it now was the time.i took a single class at Hobby Lobby. The rest I learned by watching Donna on TV. I have demonstrated one stroke at a local art league meeting.

I am very much motivated... Also SPEECHLESS!!! !!!!!!😮

Thank you so much for sharing your talent for these many years. I stopped painting about 20 years ago and I’m just now trying to paint again. Never to old I say. I raised nine kids so it is me time now at 81. Your videos keep me going.❤️

You have gifted magical fingers! Thank you.

I remember when your book one stroke painting first came out in the 80's--- it was all the rage thank u so much glad to see ur still on the scene !!!!!

I feel like so many of our mothers and grandmothers learned these techniques back in the 90s and 00's from you. Now my mother is urging me to learn and I'm so lucky that these videos are available on RU-vid!!

Thank-you, Donna, for sharing your skillsets. Your art makes me feel happier. Your roses over a vintage pair of Chinese wardrobes would only compliment them, that much more. The flowers are as pretty, as you.

I am sitting here shaking watching you use your skills. You make it look so easy and effortless. Please keep sharing your gifts with us

This is a superb technique. I have been painting for years, and I love the way you make it look so easy.

I used to watch your show over my summer breaks on PBS when I was a kid. I even asked my grandmother to buy me one of your one stroke painting kits when they were on sale and this was my favorite flower! I’m so glad it’s on RU-vid. Thanks for sharing!

I'm starting my Spring Flower series painting on glass and Donna Dewberry's one stroke style is perfect for this project. Thank you Donna for creating such an ingenious method for painting flowers and sharing it with us on RU-vid!

Thank you so much Donna , love the way you explain each and every step so brilliantly.

You and Bob Ross were the painting professionals of my childhood. When I was little I'd sit and watch you paint on CBS every Saturday morning. I never tried to follow your tutorials when I was little - I wish I did - but now that I'm 20 I would love to finally give them a try. So glad I found your RU-vid channel, these videos are very peaceful and nostalgic for me. =)

I did one stroke over 20 years ago and now I'm coming back to it.

Donna I watched you on the 90s on PBS! LOVEEEEEEE Watching you! I purchased two kits from you on HSN. One self teaching kit & one 3D one stroke paint kit in 2000?!?! I STILL USE BOTH!! The paint is AMAZING!! IGNORE THESE MILLINEALS! Your the Bob Ross of my generation. Keep up the videos!

Though u r clearly teaching, along with painting I am surprised, how that dimension came😍 . No one can teach esp a open rose like u. I wish I too can paint like u. Thank u

I WATCHED YOU ON HSN TODAY. BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL. I'M USUALLY A CARD MAKER BUT I' HAVE A HARD TIME WALKING WITHOUT FALLING. I'M STILL YOUNG SO I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY ANOTHER CRAFT. I'VE CRAFTED ALL MY LIFE. I HAD PLANNED TO BUY FROM SHEENA DOUGLAS AT CRAFTER'S COMPANION. I THINK YOU WERE SENT TO CHANGE MY MIND. I USED TO DECORATE CAKES UNTIL MY HANDS GOT STIFF. THE SMALL ROSE BUDS ... WELL I'VE MADE 1000'S FROM ICING. HOPEFULLY I CAN PAINT AT LEAST ONE.

I really appreciate you for teaching us this technique ❤❤❤.

Donna might not have been the first, but she was the first for me when she was on TV years ago and turned me on to this method with her classes. Didn't see anyone else sharing the technique!! Quit being so negative to her. Not nice!!! Thanks Donna!

I also took your one stroke in the 80 have bought your vidios one of the animals and flowers 🌸 beach 🏝 glad I found you on my I pad you are so good bless you. Donna

This is the absolute best tutorial on painting that I've ever seen, and I've been watching quite a few! Am really excited to use this technique today! You rock!!

Beautiful! You have shown how easy it can be to make something gorgeous. Roses are for the month of June and my birthday. I’m a retired teacher and can honestly say that you’re a wonderful teacher. I can hardly wait to paint some cabbage roses, which are also my favorite. Blessings and please keep teaching these tutorials.

Thank you all so much for the comments. I love painting for you guys!

I was surfing in the net and found this wonderful video explained how to paint a rose . 🙃😘one of my hobby is painting . Thanks for teaching us .😊

Images bring joy to the mind, god bless you

I really enjoy watching this

Love the cabbage rose!

I have finally found you after all these years when I first watched you on PBS 😭🥰

Absolutely beautiful and brilliant! I remember seeing you on QVC yeeears ago! Loved it then and even more now 💗💗💗

Wow I’m so happy found your page, I’m struggling to draw flowers i learned today Thankyou.

Am I the only one who couldn’t even put it on the brush right 😅

So BEAUTIFUL!

Hello my dear. I know this is an old video but I hear your fire 🔥 alarm 🚨 chirping. It’s time to change your battery. Safety first... 😉 Thank you for the tutorial. You make this look so simple. ☺️

So happy to find you again. I started in 1997 on public tv. Thank you for the free classes.

That smoke alarm beep had me thinking I had to deal with mine!

I have been afraid to paint my entire life. At 63 I started to refinish furniture and need to be able to paint roses. I can do this after seeing your tutorials. The method is intuitive and flowing. Ok do my roses are not perfect but I finally get it. I sell jewelry and now furniture to raise money for horse rescue and all that involves. I can see the application for my lockets as well. So many surfaces..so little time lol!

I remember watching you on the uk QVC over 20 years ago now and I admit I bought your kit and loved the painting and the results. I’m glad I found you because after years of never having time to keep up the art I now want to do it again!

You really are an elegant woman with an elegant talent. I loved watching your show when I was in elementary school. And now, thank you RU-vid!

I truly truly wish to do my flowers and roses like you yes.Thx for sharing with us all.Be blessed be safe take care everyone.

Oh my word...Donna you are fabulous and don't worry about offending! YOU are the one who put in the time and effort to teach so many of us what ONE STROKE is all about! Thank you soooo much💗🌺🌹🌷

I need to see it again your beautiful blue sapphire ring 😍

I learned your two stroke about 25 yrs ago, game charger lol I had no idea you were on here, glad to see❤❤❤
