The Magic of Tahoe

Free yourself to explore mixed-media abstract painting using a variety of new materials on canvas and watercolor paper.  This is not another "ho hum" painting class, it is fun and motivating!  The emphasis will be on the artist's own interpretation of the subject using non-traditional techniques in your paintings... can you believe industrial supplies?  All acrylic paints will be used with emphasis on design and composition.  The instructor will provide some supplies.
