Jan's Apprenticeship With Pam

With a folk art grant from the Wisconsin Arts Boards Jan studied for a year with Vesterheim Gold Medal rosemaler Pam Rucinski. Jan's studies began in July, 2014 and continued through May, 2015. She focused on the Gudbrandsdal style rosemaling but the interlacing of styles means they touched on many others as well. The aim of this blog is to show Jan's progress through the months of study. The photos show her process; the good, the bad and the ugly. Follow Jan on her journey.

October 2, 2014 @ Rosemaling Valhalla (aka Pam's studio)

Today Pam and I each worked on a version of this design. I followed the original design by Jacob Klugstad (1710-1773). If you have not looked up this man's work, you should. Pam's was more interpretive but equally as interesting. I am very fond of this style of painting!

My goals before our next session are:

design for a border for my 14" plate.
designs for the big covered bowl
work out some color schemes I want to paint
