Painting Demo / Paint With Me – REGISTRATION CLOSED
April 19
10 am-2 pm CST
Live on Zoom, recordings will be available.I’ll show you how to paint this duck with big brush marks and lots of color! Bring your paints and paint along, stroke by stroke – or paint this duck in your own way.
There’s a special price because I’ve had a dream for quite a while of having fairly regular, very reasonably priced demo / paint with me events and this one is the test if it’s a viable idea! If this one fills, I’ll do it again at this price!
