$45, all supplies included. Beginners welcome.
Susan Bartel, instructor

Who’s ready for spring? In this 3-day noontime workshop, each session will build on the previous day’s painting. The first day, a wet-into-wet background will be created with a vibrant limited palette, fascinating textures, and an exploration of various techniques. On the second day, the background will be deepened with glazing layers, and more details will emerge using negative painting. And on the final day, the details of the daffodils will be added, bringing the painting to life.
Please register only if able to attend all 3 sessions.

Bring your lunch!

Register on or before February 7.
