Painting Cow Newsletter – April 2009 is an archival newsletter from the late Paul Burnett featuring a Victorian-style carving tutorial alongside updates from Painting Cow Studio during the launch of the “Everything Burnett” membership program. While the issue includes historical announcements and course information, the primary value today is the instructional breakdown of Victorian carving techniques and tool usage.

The included tutorial walks through cutting layouts, tonal shaping, special bevelers, deep-pitched bevelers, and modeling techniques for creating dimension in Victorian floral carving. Burnett explains how decorative cuts, stop cuts, shaping tools, and modeling spoons interact to create realistic flow and depth within the design. The issue also provides insight into his approach to teaching and course development during this period of his career. As with other archival materials in this collection, the scans are preserved close to their original published format and may contain minor imperfections.

This archival newsletter is made available in partnership with the family of the late Paul Burnett, helping preserve and share his instructional materials with a new generation of leatherworkers.

Materials provided for digitization courtesy of the Jim Shipley Collection.
