The holidays are a wonderful time for decorative painting!

Snow-filled landscapes, reindeer and snowmen out to play, families sharing together, and decorated surfaces all around.

As we reflect on the year, please join us in thanking our many SDP Business Members who fuel our creative spirit and give us the means to create this wonderful art. Like you, these businesses have chosen to support decorative painting through their membership in SDP.

This year, to show our thanks, we have created the Society of Decorative Painters Catalog.

Inside these pages, you will find the newest products, special discounts, and exciting projects and surfaces offered by our SDP Business Members.

Support our members while you replenish your supplies or give a wonderful gift to the artists in your life.
