A last-minute present or something quick for a craft show?
Write on me: sweet Camillo is a Decorative Painting design that I created for Creattiva, a craft convention that takes place in Italy twice a year. I had the pleasure to teach this design there during classes. It’s really easy! In addition, it’s perfect if you are a beginner! In fact, there are many of the most important techniques: floating and drybrushing, but also lining and distressing.

The surface is a wooden blackboard and a separate cutout on one side. You could also use velcro, so you can change the cutout according to the season!
However, you can easily adapt this design to any surface you like!

The painting pattern instructions are available also in English.

I created other Decorative Painting designs for beginners similar to Write on me: sweet Camillo, that you may be interested in: Write on me: bunny and Write on me: little chick.

Do you want to learn something more about the techniques I used? Check out some tutorials on my YouTube channel: how to prep the surface, how to float colors or how to drybrush, that are the basics of Decorative Painting techniques, and how to use the liner brush.

The liner is a brush that can make you nervous sometimes… but with some tips and tricks it’s really easy!!!
