Workshop

Q: How long does a workshop last?
A: 3 hours of painting workshop time. Please come early. We will start promptly.

Q: What should I bring to the class?
A: For beginners class, we provide the materials, so all you need to bring is your “canvas” (model). If you can’t find a model, we can provide one for you for additional cost.

Q: What should I wear to the class?
