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!
