For the past few centuries, immigrants have brought with them their knowledge of European folk art painting to decorate furniture, walls, and accessories for various types. This particular type of decoration, called rosemaling, evolved in Scandinavia during the early part of the eighteenth century and is, perhaps, the most exuberant of all forms of folk art.

This is the traditional art form known as Rosemaling. Norwegians cover their walls, roof, furniture and small items such as spoons with this art:)

I finally decided I'm done messing around with this piece and have now deemed it COMPLETE!
This is a Rosemaling painting, a traditional Norwegian folk art, and specifically, this is in the Os style, a more fantastical style that uses bright vibrant colors and bold designs. The least traditional of the styles XD This was done mostly over a weekend class with a stencil given to us by the teacher, and you can see the progress pictures below:
Here you can see the chalk stencil, and I based in my green leaves. The stencil is meant to tell you the basic layout and shape and you do not want to get detailed with it, as it can make your pattern confusing and messy.
Details added into the leaves. I tried a few different detailing designs, as our teacher encouraged making every leaf pattern different.
Flowers and scrolls.
More flowers!
MORE FLOWERS.
And this is what I managed to finish at the end of the weekend class. All major flowers completed with only filigree and linework (and the landscape in the middle) to do. The paint is very wet and glossy so it's hard for me to get a good picture of it.
And complete! Coincidentally, my first landscape painting too!
Enjoy!

Rosemaling (Norwegian art form)
Rosemaling can be painted on anything, mostly we see it on objects such as cake boxes, chairs, cabinets etc.
Here you can see the traditional art form on walls, roofs & beds. During this time, rosemaling is quite common in norwegian houses, but mostly for smaller objects. However a while back the art form was also used to decorate houses, curches, cabins etc.

Work in progress for some laser engraved coasters we're making! My partner wanted to play with painting them in traditional Rosemaling stylizations and I love how they're turning out 💖
Next up is sealing them- we're debating between just doing some regular sealant or pouring epoxy resin in to make it a flat surface! I think I'm leaning epoxy???

Throwback to the time I stood inside a reconstruction of Cappelenstugu, a house where every single surface was painted with rosemaling, and nearly burst into tears because it's so fucking beautiful. The pictures I can find on the museum website don't quite do it justice, but it's just. staggering. artist Olav Hanssen did this around 1800, in an enclosed space without reliable strong artificial light, and covered every single surface in gorgeous, intricate artwork (featuring Adam and Eve hiding after eating the apple, among other things).
Looking at Scandinavian interior design and thinking about how much cooler the world would be if the nordic countries took the South American approach to decor
#ROSEMALING MY BELOVED#also many of the reconstructed houses in skansen had art and murals on the walls#and the doors were all carved with patterns#nothing was undecorated!#everywhere was a testament to artistic expression#history#rosemaling
