Starting Off An Artistic Enterprise With Tole Painting Patterns

By Carol Hughes


Beautifying your home can come with more elbow grease than is warranted. It would be all the more expensive if you want personalized and customized trappings. You may see those fancy items and accessories in those decors and antiques shop and think thats all it would take to spruce up your drab surroundings. However, they can be extravagantly costly, more so than they look. What you havent taken to consideration thus far is that you can always DIY. Budget is not the only moot point here. You may be assured more soulful satisfaction if you unleash your innate artistic prowess. Just start small with tole painting patterns.

Tole art is a decorative painting method that is applied to tin and wooden objects, utensils, and furniture. It is a form of folk art that first sprung in various parts of Europe, and it comes with different names in each locality of Scandinavia, Germany, Russia, and England. However, it reached its apogee in eighteenth century America.

Patterns for this art form are available, and they may come in books or packets. This manual contains step by step instructions that enable one to imitate patterns and line drawings. A photograph of the final result is also embedded therein for reference. All kinds of templates are available, wherever you stand in your skills and abilities, from beginner to expert, so youll always find something to satisfy and challenge 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.

As per the popular tagline, all art is personal. Thus, you are offered carte blanche on the subjects you want to depict. If youre unconfident yet because youre a beginner, you may use the nifty patterns. The common themes among tole painters are staples of seasonal themes, like Christmas, Halloween, and Easter. You can also paint birds, flowers, butterflies, bears, ducks, et cetera. The common measure is that the subjects are nostalgic and whimsical.

The media used are typically acrylic, which is both inexpensive and long lasting, and oil. Before the paint is applied, the wooden canvas is usually primed, sealed, and sanded. Usually, the art is done on three dimensional objects, like those enumerated above. Staples are wood and tin, but plastic, papier mache, and terra cotta materials are also popular.

Skills and techniques useful in this craft are wide and sundry. Theres sanding, sealing, priming, varnishing, and base coating. Methods can range from gold leafing, country, stenciling, graining, bronzing, and theorem painting.

Considering, the methods are usually standardized and systematic, this type of decorative painting is considered relatively easy and highly teachable. Because freehand design is encouraged, even the average person can be assured fulfillment and success even without an inherent drawing ability. Discipline and creativity are the operative words here. Then again, if youre just starting and in a little need of a nudge and inspiration, youd just have to pick out a pattern as a start.

With painting patterns, the enterprise is even further oversimplified. You can now watch your shabby household items come alive in a burst of color and personality. Moreover, with the considerable letting out and self expression, you get to earn satisfaction and gratification in no mean degree.
