We will check it out to see if it is a good candidate for our Paint Your Pet Class. Students will all paint from the same photo each session. Learn the basics of drawing, mixing paint, and general procedures for handling oil paint. For this class, please bring a 9x12 canvas and your usual oil supplies. You have no supplies? No problem in this unique beginner class. Cost of class is $20, or $35 if all supplies are furnished (including canvas) for your use that day. If you only need a turp pot furnished, the charge is $25 for the class. We will have a fun Aperitif Critique at 4 pm, so be sure to bring refreshments to share.
