Let’s Paint! Weekend Workshop #1
Get started painting in this 2-day, hands-on workshop. We’ll use a variety of techniques for developing your brush stroke, mixing color both on and off the palette and learning the difference between value and color. You will quickly see that there are no mistakes when you paint and that acrylic paints are wonderfully forgiving and versatile. No experience is necessary yet experienced painters will learn much. All materials are included in class fee.

Fee: $160

Let’s Paint! Weekend Workshop #2
