You were my inspiration many years ago when I wanted to paint and was poor and couldn't afford classes...I was divorced, raising 2 little boys without help. But while channel surfing one day, I found you on QVC! Your paint sets were on sale and I could pay in five payments. So after watching you work your magic, I placed my order! And my dreary life changed as soon as your pkg. arrived! I humbly thank you for helping women like me, follow there dreams of joining the art world! I know there's a place for you in heaven! Sincerely, Marie Dawson 💕🎨
I am so blessed when I hear stories like yours honey! I so wanted to help with the income while we had Seven children so I had to do this at home. Being able to be on QVC and PBS helps me make it possible to help others. Thank you for picking up that brush and I feel blessed to be part of you finding the art world honey! Love donna
Hi Marie. I was just searching for how to videos on ornament painting. I was moved by your story, then saw your name. My sister who passed this year was Diane Marie Dawson. My name is Michelle. I don't usually ask for replies to my comments, but would love to just chat with you. Christmas blessings to you, Michelle Dawson
I have just discovered you and I am mesmerized by your painting. That display with the pine needles and poinsettias is absolutely so gorgeous. I'm going to try it. Thank you for showing us how.
WOW!! I just found this video while searching for a new way to decorate my clear Christmas ornaments, and I’m hooked! You make it look so easy. I can’t wait to get started.
These are so pretty, I can’t afford much this year, so I’m planning to make my boyfriend some pretty decorations for our small tree. These are great, I’m a pretty beginner painter, and this looks so easy and cute!
You bet I’ll subscribe….this is the most amazing talent. I’m so weary of dollar store stickers and modpodge. This is the real McCoy!! Too bad I’m hopeless with a paint brush…..but it warms my heart to watch!!!! 👍🏻
I love watching you paint. You make it so simple, that I now paint and find it relaxing and fun. Please more Christmas🎄🎄🎄 Will you make videos of your basics plus Valentine's day and Easter?
I’ve watched you for years and just love your style and teaching method! I’m definitely going to try these for next year. Guess I better start soon!! I am such a procrastinator and love all kinds of sewing and crafting I usually over-think and over-commit!! 😲😂
Hi Donna! Thank you for another awesome video! So timely too ... I almost bought clear ornaments, I was going to glitter the inside white and paint 'something', but I didn't know what to paint! So, back to the store I will go this week. I love these, and I am looking forward to more designs. Your One Stroke technique is genius and anyone can do it if they try. It is really as easy as it looks. xoxo
I don't think I could make mine look anything like yours but am inclined to try it sometime. Your teaching remind me of Bob Ross. I look forward to watching all of your videos. Thank you!
Wouldn’t it be special to do that for dinner name cards with that motif by adding the guests’ names & place one on each place setting on the table?! Nice tutorial. Thank you!👍
As always awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent - I look forward everyday to see if you uploaded a video and wait impatiently to paint it! 🤗 Can I request you to please paint one with a winter scene looking outside a window...something like you have one with a fall scene with a vase & candle on your Instagram? Please and thank you again. You're the best!!!!! Bless 🙏🏼✨💖
Glad to see that we can use this paint. I am going to make some with seashells, Florida birds, etc. I have been sitting on some plain ornaments for far too long. Thanks for the inspiration. Can you add glitter to this paint?
No sealing required when using Plaid FolkArt Multi-Surface Acrylics or Enamel Acrylics, they are self-sealing. Bake in oven following directions on the paint bottle to fast-cure the paint.
hi, I love your painting stroke tips! want to know if you put someting to protect the painting on the ornement like spray varnish or something? thanks for answering
Ok, so I've never painted a glass Christmas ornament before, and I bought the really round ones that are about 5" and they were harder to paint of course, though I really wanted the big Christmas balls, however I think they came out pretty awesome with your guidance. The only thing I'm wondering is if there is either a gloss or a spray I can apply to maybe just the areas I painted so they appear glossy or shiny? Almost like porcelain? Only because the paint is so pretty but once it dries, it fades just a little and the sharpness of the colors fade as well. So I was hoping there was some way to lock in the colors to get them more vibrant and preserve them. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Donna, may I ask what colors I can mix to get pink melon. I would like to paint this before Christmas, but would order pink melon in the new year.
What are glass brushes and what is the difference between a glass brush and a normal brush? I've been watching your channel because I make painted ornaments. Your Onestroke technique is perfect.
Ahh thank you. I was looking at them. They may work for what I do -- essentially layers of triple thick gloss glaze between painted elements on paper. Results in a surface that has some depth and looks like glass.
scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p206x206/12391987_10205588407576411_7605593984821294509_n.jpg?oh=fbac2981144d353e0fb7a412b1f81d75&oe=5ACA54B8 That's the painting I do. Glass brushes might help since I separate each design element with triple-thick gloss glaze and the surface gets very glass-like after a few layers.
These paints won't fade over time unless they are in constant bright sunlight. The Plaid FolkArt Enamels and Multi-Surface acrylics have a sealer built in, so sealing isn't required.
I hope that you can fix that high pitch chirping. I only mentioned it because I was trying to concentrate on what you were doing and saying but I would wince every time I heard that sound and I not only missed what you were doing and saying because it would make my head wince. I have a peroration in my ear which makes hearing lower tones and then I can really hear the high ones too well. Thank-you I learned and enjoyed everything about the video itself!
Happy holiday and I have a request! Your lighting is dark and the paper on the table is beige and doesn’t show the colors as well as a white paper would"." For us with eye sight limited it’s hard to see .. I hope you could add some light to your work area.. my sis n I love your videos but find things are not bright enough.. thank you for your videos... :)
Beautiful demonstration. She went quite fast, so I wouldn’t be able to learn from this, even with pausing it, because she uses terms and brushes that she doesn’t explain, but she does a beautiful job.

Just gorgeous! Do you seal these with something like a spray sealant? Thanks - you are very talented!

I would love to see a frosted glass block with the cardnial and holly....
Mary Margaret Schlais is is to
Nice! Could you show us how to do the one stoke on Russian nesting dolls?
Hi.... Donna mam.... very nice..... no words to say.... vvvvvv awesome..

Acrylic Lacquer Spray can be used, but if you use the FolkArt Enamel Acrylics, they dry glossy.
Thank you, Donna, may I ask what colors I can mix to get pink melon. I would like to paint this before Christmas, but would order pink melon in the new year.
Sorry, didn't see this in time. Magenta with Daffodil Yellow and a little Wicker White.
Donna, Please can you tell me which painting is the one behind you at the end of this video? Do you have any instructional for this?
I'm really loving all these holiday Dew Tube lessons! So inspiring and cheerful for the holidays! Thank you for sharing!
Love your work, I hope I can learn from you I'm sure going to give it a try.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
👍👍👍👍👍

Ty Donna. This
Sorry hit wrong key. Ty Donna. Fab!
Beautiful. Question do you seal the ornaments?
I just use mod podge lol
Gorgeous, I live in the U.K. can you suggest a similar paint?
What are glass brushes and what is the difference between a glass brush and a normal brush? I've been watching your channel because I make painted ornaments. Your Onestroke technique is perfect.
Miki Gain the glass brushes have soft bristles which lets the paint stay on the glass instead of lifting it back up! I sell on onestroke.com
Ahh thank you. I was looking at them. They may work for what I do -- essentially layers of triple thick gloss glaze between painted elements on paper. Results in a surface that has some depth and looks like glass.

That's the painting I do. Glass brushes might help since I separate each design element with triple-thick gloss glaze and the surface gets very glass-like after a few layers.
Do you seal the painted parts with a matte glaze to protect the paint from fading over time?
These paints won't fade over time unless they are in constant bright sunlight. The Plaid FolkArt Enamels and Multi-Surface acrylics have a sealer built in, so sealing isn't required.
I hope that you can fix that high pitch chirping.

WOW you are amazing
thank you
Hermoso trabajo.
Sería bonito que pusieran subtitulos en español.
Can you tell me what you need to use on candles?
Did you do anymore painted ornaments?
Do you spray this ornament after it painted?
No spray needed, Enamels and Multi-surface Acrylic paints by Plaid FolkArt are self-sealing.
Very nice. Does anyone know if you varnish acrylic hand painted ornaments?
No varnish required with FolkArt Enamels and Multi-Surface paints.
😍
So glad I stumbled across your video tonight! I've always loved your painting.
Merry Christmas!
why don't you turn on the light so we can see it!
Like x-mass ornaments with fur original
Thank you thank you//////
Lol, please put a battery in your smoke alarm if that is what is beeping.😀
Happy holiday and I have a request!
Your lighting is dark and the paper on the table is beige and doesn’t show the colors as well as a white paper would"."
For us with eye sight limited it’s hard to see ..
I hope you could add some light to your work area..
my sis n I love your videos but find things are not bright enough..
thank you for your videos... :)
i love u
Beautiful demonstration. She went quite fast, so I wouldn’t be able to learn from this, even with pausing it, because she uses terms and brushes that she doesn’t explain, but she does a beautiful job.
Where can I get the plastic ornaments in that shape?
Local craft stores
Can you do this on plastic bulbs
Absolutely, plastic ornaments are wonderful.
Donna, it Sounds like your smoke detector needs a battery...lol
Did I hear that smoke detector beep again?
I think not cleaning the brush makes it prettier.
😘👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻🌹❤️🌸🌺
change your smoke detector battery :)
Beautiful!!
