Is there a house or building you have always wanted to paint?

Join acrylic painting instructor Joan Wilkes as she guides students of all experience levels (even beginners) through the process of creating a treasured keepsake to display or gift!

Send a good photo of the house/building you want to paint to joanwilkesart@gmail.com as soon as you can -- at least a week before class -- so the instructor can transfer the outline to your 11x14 canvas.
