I am actually painting on binder but I usually paint on canvas. See my website for more designs and surfaces :) I am using Acrylic folkart paint made by plaid. The colors are berry wine, thicket and wicker white. The brush is the most important... I used a # 3/4 Plaid one stroke brush #1171A or you can use a # 12 Plaid One Stroke # 1058 if you are painting smaller. Be certain it is a ONE STROKE brush or you will not get the right effect :) mypaints.com
It is not a dumb question! Thank you for asking. Pre-wash garment before painting to remove any sizing. Paint on your design. Let dry for 24 hours, then heat set by placing a cloth over the painted area and pressing firmly with iron (no steam) for about 20 seconds with heat set for appropriate fabric. Can be washed in gentle cycle and air-dried. I would do a test piece just to be sure as you would hate to ruin it. Different fabric can be tricky.
Thank You so much !I am using Acrylic folkart paint made by plaid. The colors are berry wine, thicket and wicker white. The brush is the most important... I used a # 3/4 Plaid one stroke brush #1171A or you can use a # 12 Plaid One Stroke # 1058 if you are painting smaller. Be certain it is a ONE STROKE brush or you will not get the right effectou so much :) The key is to use the proper brush :)
Saloni, I am glad that you find the video's helpful. Practice and the proper brush is most important. Use a # 12 or 3/4 one stroke brush. The brush is the most important and you can find it at Michaels, or Joanns usually. Be sure that it is a One Stroke brush :) My in home art classes are the best but I understand that you aren't able..I hope to find the time to do a hydrangea video in the future.
Thanks for your questions Carole..I am using folkart paint made by plaid. It is about 1.25 a bottle. I do not add anything to make them thicker but they are thicker than most bottled paint. The brush is # 12 or 3/4 one stroke brush. The brush is the most important and you can find it at Michaels, or Joanns usually. Be sure that it is a One Stroke or it will not hold the paint right and you will not be able to make a fine chisel edge :)
Thank You! If you are having trouble may I suggest that you start with my other video..paint a daisy or paint rosebuds and fruit? These are easier and you should have very good luck starting with something a bit easier. Use a # 12 or 3/4 one stroke brush. The brush is the most important and you can find it at Michaels, or Joanns usually. Be sure that it is a One Stroke brush :)
Thank YOU!! And to all of you.. If you have any problems doing the rose please check out my other videos as they are a bit easier..the rosebud is very easy and then you can go on to the harder flowers. Remember that the brush is the most important :) . I used a # 3/4 Plaid one stroke brush #1171A or you can use a # 12 Plaid One Stroke # 1058 if you are painting smaller. Be certain it is a ONE STROKE brush or you will not get the right effect.
I am using Folkart acrylic. I do paint in oil but in my classes that I teach I always use acrylic because it dries quickly and clean up is so easy. You must use a # 12 or 3/4 one stroke brush. The brush is the most important and you can find it at Michaels, or Joanns usually. Be sure that it is a One Stroke. If you have trouble please watch my other videos as they will really help you :)
Thank You Gloria! I did a lot of practicing and I also teach classes but I first started painting in the year 2000 so I haven't been at it for that long. I suggest you start with the rosebuds..they are super easy and then go to the harder strokes. Please watch my other videos..especially "rosebuds and fruit" and" paint a daisy." They will help you :) Please subscribe to my channel and hit the "Like" button :)
I am not using anything to make it shine. I think it is the binder that I am working on that makes it looke that way. When I work I canvas I use a triple thick Krylon spray when I am finished and it will make it look like an oil painting. I am painting very fast and using a lot of paint so it doesn't dry as quickly. But if I don't use the spray on the canvas when I am finished, it will look matte. If you use a binder, don't spray as it may crack :)
Hi, Thanks for asking..I am using theDonna Dewberry Onestroke brush and the size is 3/4. You can buy these at the craft store like Michaels or Joann's. The brush is the most important because it is a synthetic brush and has a bit longer and thinner hair. The colors and paint are answered in the comment below. I hope that you will "like" and subscribe to my channel :) Thanks, Mary
Thank you :) It is a # 3/4 size brush for this rose..These brushes are called Plaid One Stroke donna dewberry brushes :) You can usually buy these at Joann's, Michaels, or most craft stores :) Some people do like to use the # 12 but I find it too small unless the rose is small. It is the most important thing about painting these roses as these brushes have less hair and the hair is longer, allowing you to make a nice chisel edge.Hope this helps. The paint is folkart acrylic paint.

Thank you and I am so sorry that it did not turn out for you. I suggest that you start with the rosebuds and practice those. You can see the video rosebuds and fruit or the daisies are easy. It is all about how you load the the brush, your pressure, and using the one stroke brush. I do hope that you will not give up :)

Hi Teresa, I use folkart paint. You can paint it on a canvas, wood, binder, etc. It is your choice. I even paint on clothing. I would suggest that you practice a lot first. Also, if you watch the daisies or the rosebuds and fruit video's of mine you will find them easier and then you can go onto the roses :)
Thank you for asking. I am using Folkart paint. However more important.. You must use a # 12 or 3/4 one stroke brush. The brush is the most important and you can find it at Michaels, or Joanns usually. Be sure that it is a One Stroke. If you have trouble please watch my other videos as they will really help you :)
Perhaps you could order the brushes? I am thinking that if you do a google search for "Donna Dewberry One stroke brushes" or just "One Stroke brush" you may be able to get them that way. They are a synthetic brush with longer hairs and they are thinner, making it easier to keep a nice sharp chisel edge. I do hope that you are able to find them.
Yes, I mostly paint on canvas but this is a binder. They are very easy to paint on and you don't have to put on a background. You will want to use acrylic folkart paint and use a # 12 or 3/4 one stroke brush. The brush is the most important. If you have trouble please watch my other videos as they will really help you :)
I'm glad you are going to try it. Yes, I mostly paint on canvas but this is a binder. They are very easy to paint on and you don't have to put on a background.

Please don't be discouraged..can you go to my other video called paint rosebuds & fruit? I promise you will have good results and you will find the correct brush to use. The brush is the most important as it is a one stroke brush. You can subscribe to my channel at mary hildesheim and you will see several other video's. Let me know how you do :)
You are so welcome and thank you for the nice comment. I am using a One stroke # 3/4 size brush. You can usually buy these at michael's or Joann's craft store. The brush is most important as it is a synthetic brush and has a bit longer and thinner hair. If your project or canvas is smaller you can use a # 12 :)
I would start just doing the rosebuds. Then you can move onto the full rose. I was painting on a binder in this video. If you are on paper you will want to spray it often with water. It is harder to paint on paper. You could try it on a canvas or on wood but using to wax paper or delit paper to practice is the best idea :) Best of luck! Let me know how you do :)
I am sorry.. I said the #12 but I used the 3/4 size brush for this rose..They are called Plaid One Stroke donna dewberry brushes :) You can usually buy these at Joann's, Michaels, or most craft stores :) Some people do like to use the # 12 but I find it too small unless the rose is small. Hope this helps.
@littleluluscraps Yes, you must really load the brush with paint but it is important that you blend it well so that you don't see lines in your stokes. If it starts to get muddy on the white, just wipe the white side off and reload with white, blending again before going back on the rose. Hope this helps :)
I am so glad that you like it. I am using folkart paint made by plaid. The brush is the most important... I used a # 3/4 Plaid one stroke brush #1171A or you can use a # 12 Plaid One Stroke # 1058 if you are painting smaller. Be certain it is a ONE STROKE brush or you will not get the right effect.
Thank you Lisa..Use a # 12 or 3/4 one stroke brush. The brush is the most important and you can find it at Michaels, or Joanns usually. Be sure that it is a One Stroke brush :) If you have any trouble check out my other videos..the fruit and rosebuds is easier.
Thanks so much..it really is all in the way you load the brush, using the onestroke brush and the pressure that you use when you do the strokes. Please see my other videos and do give them a try. The daisies and the rosebuds are the easiest :) and practice is the key .
Thank you Laurrjade :) You will want to use acrylic folkart paint and use a # 12 or 3/4 one stroke brush. The brush is the most important and you can find it at Michaels, or Joanns usually. Be sure that it is a One Stroke. If you have trouble please watch my other videos as they will really help you :)
Zoe, I wonder why you would think you are the only one who can see that it is a binder..I do suggest that you try it if you haven't. You can paint on many surfaces and it is good to try other surfaces. I like to paint on canvas, wood, plastic, glass, shells, & fabric, just to name a few.
Hi Emma, You will want to use acrylic folkart paint and use a # 12 or 3/4 one stroke brush. The brush is the most important and you can find it at Michaels, or Joanns usually. Be sure that it is a One Stroke. If you have trouble please watch my other videos as they will really help you :)
Hi Amy, I am using a One stroke # 3/4 size brush. You can usually buy these at michael's or Joann's craft store. The brush is most important as it is a synthetic brush and has a bit longer and thinner hair. If your project or canvas is smaller you can use a #12
I am so glad that you like it. I am using One Stroke brushes, size 3/4 and the paint is Acrylic. It is made by Folkart and the colors are berry wine, thicket, wicker white, and sunflower. Hope this helps. You can usually purchase these at Michaels or Joann's .
@ukspikes I am so glad that I have inspired you! These are folkart paints..colors of your choice:) but I used berry wine, thicket,sunflower and white. The brush is 3/4 Onestroke and I didn't use any medium..just paint and if it it gets too dry you can mist it very lightly with water :)
@sholstein You are absolutely right. I am a One Stroke certified insturctor by Donna Dewberry and I did learn this technique from her. I have since branched off and do my own style of landscapes and many other flowers.. but I love and give credit to Donna :)
@kayjo101 It is Folkart acrylic paint :) I have answered it numerous times in the comments but I realize that I did not mention it in the actual video. You can buy this paint at Joann's or Michaels..if you can't find it you can use another brand but these work the best.
@Dafnadill Yes, the type of brush is the most important..you can use other paint but the brush must be right or you will not get the nice strokes. You can usually find the brushes and the paint at a Michael's or Joann's. Most craft stores will have them.
The brush that I am using in this video is a 3/4 Plaid Onestroke Donna Dewberry Flat. The brush is very important because it must be thin and the hair is a bit longer than the regular brushes. You can buy these brush's through Michaels or Joann's or go the Official Onestroke site.
Hello Sue, I do hope that you will try it and if it is not clear then you can go to my easier ones like "paint and Daisy" and Fruit and Rosebuds. They are easier and will help to fill in any blanks. Happy painting and God Bless You :) Mary
Hi Jessica, Yes, I have used other paints but my favorite one is the folkart acrylic. It is a bit creamier. The most important thing is to use a One Stroke brush. The hairs are thinner and longer and you will get the look you want.
Thank you so much for such nice comments. And I bet if you tried it you would be surprised. You might like to start with the rosebuds and fruit or the daisies as they are easier and be sure to use the One Stroke brushes. I hope you try it and have fun :)
Thank you Irma..I am glad that you found it helpful :) Use a # 12 or 3/4 one stroke brush.If you try it, The brush is the most important and you can find it at Michaels, or Joanns usually. Be sure that it is a One Stroke brush :)
I am using a One stroke # 3/4 size brush. You can usually buy these at michael's or Joann's craft store. The brush is most important as it is a synthetic brush and has a bit longer and thinner hair. If your project or canvas is smaller you can use a #12
Thank You Lily, for your nice comments. I am fasincated by the Norwegian facts. We are actually from Germany and my husbands father comes from a town named Hildesheim. I don't think we have any norwegian blood but maybe someplace :)
Thanks you for your comments..and I hope that you will continue to paint..try the rosebuds first as they are the easiest. It just takes a bit of practice. Please subscribe and check out my video on "Paint rosebuds and fruit." I think you will like it :)
You can use the colors of your choice but I have used the brand "Folkart" and the colors are Berry wine, Thicket, Sunflower and wicker white. These are Acrylic paints. Thanks for asking and I hope you will subscribe to my channel :)
Good for you! I was a late starter too..picked up the brush for the first time 12 years ago and now I can't stop. Be sure to get the One Stroke brushes and use acrylic paint.. The daisy video that I made might be easier to start with :)
No, you can use anything although I think fabric is a bit harder. I usually use a canvas but I also like to paint on gift bags and they work great for practice. I just use computer paper when my students practice. Hope you try it :)
You could use card stock but I am working on a binder..or you can use a canvas if you like. If you use a card, be sure to spray with water often or the paint will not flow. If you use a small surface you need to paint your rose smaller. Hope this helps :)
@xTHx1 No, I do not use the floating medium. I think it makes the paint muddy. If you need to thin it (I didn't) use a very light spray of water. Sometimes if you are on a canvas you will need to use the spray. Happy painting :)
Sorry it took me so long to reply but thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Practice is the key and I hope that you will try the daisy..it is a bit easier and will help to get your started :) Have a wonderful day!
Thank you! Painting does make me happy. I hope you will try it and let me know what you think. Try something easy to start with like the rose buds and fruit or the daisies if you haven't painted before :)
I am actually painting this rose on a binder. They make great gifts but you can surely paint on canvas. If you go to my website, mypaints.com, you will see a variety of different surfaces that I paint on but mostly canvas.
I love painting on Binders and they make the best gifts..be sure that it does not have the clear see through plastic on it though as the paint will lift on these. The paint will last forever on the plain ones.
I am not sure that the water colors would be thick enough..and the brush is so important. If you get a chance, watch the rosebuds and fruit video and that will tell you the brush and paint that I am using. :) Mary
yes, I am using Folkart paint. You can use other paint but folkart is a bit thicker so I like it better :) I hope you will subscribe to my channel as I paint other stuff too. Mountains, daisys, trees,etc.
Yes, I usually paint on canvas but these little painted binders make awesome gifts :) Just put on any color of background that you like, then paint the rose. A very dark blue or black willl make the rose "pop". Enjoy :)
The reason for the binders is because they are fast, easy, and they make very nice inexpensive but personal gifts..also, you don't have seal them because the paint last forever :) I hope you will give it a try!
@chloefay6 Yes, it is a binder..they make the greatest gifts but be sure that it doesn't have the clear plastic insert over it. Just the cheap plain ones are the best and the paint does not lift evn after much use :)
@luckyandhachi yes, I always encourage people to use the colors that they love :) Have fun. Some colors cover betther than others so it is good to try different combinations. I love painting "Blue roses".
@3Musketeerscandy Any color will work. My favorite is sage green but I would use a color that is in your home. Black will really make them "pop" Experiment with different colors and the practice will be very valuable.
@greeneyes011765 I like to use the angle brush to make the comma stroke in the big rose..my students find it much easier but I don't really use it too much. It is good to experiment and use the brush that you like the best.
thank you violet..it does take some practice so I hope that you don't give up. Also, if you watch my "rosebuds and fruit" it is a lot easier and once you "get " it you will be amazed at it will flow.
But why not try? I do hope that you will give it a try. Or you can start with something easier like my rosebuds and fruit or the daisies. Please subscribe to see them all and let me know how it goes :)
Thank you Rose :) Be sure to use a One Stroke brush (size 3/4 or 12) as the others don't work as well and you can't get the right affect. You can usually buy these brushes at Michael's or Joann's.
I used a # 3/4 Plaid one stroke brush #1171A or you can use a # 12 Plaid One Stroke # 1058 if you are painting smaller. Be certain it is a ONE STROKE brush or you will not get the right effect.
I would not try to paint this on glass until you have practiced a lot. Glass is harder to paint on and I would not use the regular folk art paint, rather I would use the folkart enamel paint. :)
You will want to use acrylic folkart paint and use a # 12 or 3/4 one stroke brush. The brush is the most important. If you have trouble please watch my other videos as they will really help you :)
I promise that if you practice you will be able to do it too. Please watch my other videos ..especially the rosebuds and fruit. The daisy one if very helpful too. Let me know how it goes :)
I appreciate all of your wonderful comments :) Thank you so much. I hope that you will hit the "like" button if you like and subscribe so that you will always know when I post a new video.
Yes, I am a certified One Stroke instructor but I learned a lot of it on my own and you can too :) All of my landscapes are my own designs. You can see more of my videos by going to marysar1 on youtube.
I actually have 5 other paints listed under my channel marysart1 You can see how to paint fruit and rosebuds, a snowman, daisies,a mountain using a knife and evergreen trees. Hope you enjoy them :)
Thank you for asking..yes, I am a certified One Stroke instructor and I teach classes in my home. I don't do a lot of flowers anymore..just mostly my own creations of landscapes. Are you?
I have a lot of students that paint on the binders and sell them :) Be sure that they do not have the clear plastic cover over them as the paint will lift on them but not on the plain ones :)
I am very sorry if I appear to mad..I am not and you are the first to think that. Thank you all so much for the very wonderful comments and feedback. I appreciate you all so much.
Thank you..it does take a bit of practice and if you are having trouble please see my other videos..the rosebuds or the daisies are a lot easier and will help you get started ?)
Acrylic folkart. But just so you know, the brush is the important part. It must be a One stroke made by plaid. Size is 3/4. Please view my other videos to see more of this technique :)
It regular Folkart acrylic paint. Use a one stroke # 3/4 brush. That is more importanat than the brand of paint. You can buy these brushes in a Michaels or Joanns most of the time :)
I am glad that you will try it..I recommend that you start with something easy like the rosebud or the daisy..the method is easy once you get the hang of it :) Happy painting to you!
I am so sorry for your loss..It is not too late for you to learn and I think you would love it :) I have the joy of painting with my Grandchildren and your note blesses me for it.
@nomesy81 I feel like you..there are so many wonderful techniques out there! When I was in school we didn't even have art classes so now I am learning all kinds of wonderful things :)
@chachaslide346 you must push until the bristles spread out to the desired amount. It is something that you just work on until it feels and looks right. Keep painting..it will come :)
Oh, that should work. If you have trouble, please practice the the rosebuds and fruit or the daisy. That will help you to get the strokes down and make it a bit easier :)
Yes, it is painted on a binder without a plastic sleeve on the front. They work great and the paint does not lift. Great for school, recipes, and just about everything :)
Hi christina, I am using regular folkart acrylic paint. It is a bit thicker than the Delta and Americana. Colors are berry wine, wicker white, and Thicket :)
Use the colors of your choice I am using folkart acrylic paint. white, berry wine, thicket and you can add a bit of sunflower to the white when doing the leaves.
I teach painting classes and you have to come in order to learn..but I do have several short videos. You can see more by going to my website, mypaints.com
You really should NOT put anything over it like a sealer..the paint will stick and you are better off not to seal this, unlike a canvas. You would seal that.
@AmuletLoveAngel Yes, do try it..and remember, I didn't pick up a brush I was 50 so you have lots of time to practice :) I never how much fun it could be!
@misstisdale85 Thank You! I am painting on a binder because I like to paint all kinds of surfaces. You can paint on a canvas, glass, etc. Whatever you like :)
Good for you! Let me know how it goes and please remember that the brush is the most important-it must be a one stroke brush to get the right effect :)
