***This Two-Day Workshop meets Saturday, February 28 and Sunday, March 1***
Wish your painting popped from across the room? Through demonstrations, discussions, and one-on-one instruction, learn to make your paintings sing with light, depth, and movement. Gorgeous flowers and still life items will be provided for inspiration and visual excitement as we explore and learn through value, color, edges, and composition. Open to students painting in oil.
