What you’ll learn:
- How to choose the right paper and brushes
- Mix rich, opaque hues and delicate transparent washes
- Master layering without the mud
- Simplify shapes and build strong compositions
- Add expressive detail and light to your landscapes

Supplies are not included—please check the workshop description for the supply list. Space is limited—register now and bring your creativity to life.
Please note that our classes are typically held in the lower level of Arlene's.

We want to make sure everyone is able to enjoy and participate in our classes
