When: Saturday, May 28
Class will last 3 hours: 9:30AM – 12:30PM
Class limit: 8

Class will meet rain or shine as we can set up in view of the flowers under cover.
Creating art outside is like putting together a wonderful meal.
We will learn:
Step 1: Eat desert first – paint the fun part to begin.
Step 2: Savor the Main Course — lay out the design
Step 3: Soup — Determine the Values (lights and darks)
Step 4: hors d’oeuvre — Craft the finished painting and show it off with good presentation
