About Nicole:

Nicole had never touched a paintbrush before 1999. She didn’t even know that she had it in her to paint. She discovered One Stroke painting and hasn’t looked back since. Nicole became a One Stroke Certified Instructor in 2002 and that was the springboard into learning as much as she could about decorative painting.

About "One Stroke" Painting....

• One Stroke Painting was created by Donna Dewberry. “One Stroke” means that you can create blending, shading, and highlighting in one stroke.
  
  
• It is a free hand way of painting meaning that you don’t need to use patterns except in some rare cases.
  
  
• Donna Dewberry together with Plaid Enterprises created a full line of brushes, paints, books and videos to help make learning this method easy and fun.
