This class is definitely for those who want to experiment outside the box. So, come join me bird watching in a whole different arena. This class is fast paced as we work on several different paintings at the same time. It is a watercolor/ fluid acrylic experience with cheesecloth as part of the substrate. It’s a lot of fun with all kinds of unplanned surprises and best of all, those happy accidents.
