DO I NEED PAINTING EXPERIENCE?

NOPE! :) Everyone is welcome, whether you have a bit of experience or you have never painted before in your life. I believe we can all learn from each other and encourage each other right where we are! 

WHAT WILL I BE RECEIVING?

A healthy break from every day life while exploring your inner creativity and lots of laughs. M-C will walk you through completing a painting, start to finish, on a 24x36”, 30x40” or 36x36” gallery canvas. You will have access to all of her art supplies and will learn some of her tips and tricks. It will be a fabulous time to watch and learn from her creative process, while getting in touch with your own. If you are thinking “But I can’t draw a stick figure”, don’t worry!! You will amaze yourself!
