"'TWAS THE MOUSE BEFORE CHRISTMAS..."
Monday & Tuesday - July 7th & 8th - 9:30 - 2:30 - $110.00 2 DAY CLASS
- It's that time - a new Christmas card from Twigshire! ( I've posted this wee mouse just to fill the space and will put up the actual one as soon as I've created him/her!)
- I will show you how to paint this wee Christmas/holiday creature one step at a time so you end up with a unique and personalized card to send to friends and family.
- For those who celebrate other than Christmas you can for sure tweak the painting to suit, as we have done many times before.
- Day 1 will be focused on the drawing and inking and if we can get to it - actually begin the painting process.
- Day 2 will be the painting which will allow for you all to finish in class where I can help you as needed.
- This is a long two days so bring a light lunch and I will provide the carbs, coffee and bottled water.

**I'll run this class several times before season if you are currently up north and wanting to create this piece.**

- If you've ever painted a piece that just did NOT work out - and still have it because...well... just maybe you hoped you could salvage it - never fear Judy Gilmer is here!
- Judy will show you how to create a completely new painting - with a twist! Learn a fun way to repurpose your painting into something you might never have thought of.
- Works on paper are especially good for this class but we can also use an old canvas. Bring a couple of pieces if you have more than one.
- If you don't have a "what do I do with this painting" painting, then just bring your paints and we will create a fun twist on the usual.
- Bring paint, brushes, water containers, scissors, glue or gel medium, a piece of foam core or a mat board and get ready to have fun!
This is a long class so bring a light lunch or you can order from Cafe Evergreen or Cap't Eddies.
