FANTASTIC WORKHOP WITH SUSAN WOOLGAR

Hello Everyone -  What a great workshop we had on Saturday July 6.  Susan Woolgar is a 'super good' instructor with a hands on approach. She took the students through their paintings from concept to completion with simple straight forward technique.  Great demos and lots of fun!  The intent was for a plein air class but Mother Nature decided it needed to rain and hail - so we had the class in the store studion and then went to Blackwell's for a critque followed by dinner.

We are having a second workshop with Susan- so those of you on the wait list - here is your chance to take a class with Susan.  It is a two day workshop this time and it will be plein air.  We are hosting it at the Blackwell property where the season should be in full color by then - September 21 and 22.  Stay tuned for details!

We have a new oil paint for you -  It is called Fast Matte by Gamblin.  It drys in 24 hours!  How great is that for us impatient painters?!  We have the full display so come in and try it.  I an offering a 15% promo discount for the next 2 weeks.  Don't miss out.  There are fantastic colors  to try!

The autumn classes will be offered soon.  Scot and I are both teaching all summer.  Just check out the class page for details.  I will update soon on what we are offering and as it is confirmed the page will be updated. Hope to see you soon -  stay dry and safe from all that nasty weather!
