Trends In 2008 – Paint and Brush

Traditional painting and even paint by numbers is showing a comeback in 2008. More kits and books will be available. Canvas seems to be the surface of choice with wood objects following very close behind. It’s hip not to frame canvas, but just hang it on the wall in groupings. Bold designs with tropical and abstract flavor are popular. Little shading is seen, but highlighting seems bolder and has a big impact.
Brushes do the main work when painting and take advantage of the specialty brushes if you want to add some texture or highlight to your projects. Stenciling is seeing a big interest especially in home décor and paper arts. Who would have thought that scrapbookers would be grabbing paint and brush? Well, they are and they are loving it. Cardmakers are including more paint in designs too.
