April 20, 2019 Class - 9:00 am

Donna Richards will be teaching our cute and fun summer flowers project. The piece is 9 x 12", but the pattern can be any size.  Those painting the design need to bring their own surface.  Prep the surface with white gesso and then apply a coat of Titanium white.  The pattern includes instructions for drawing a very light line around where the patter will fit into a 6 1/2 inch x 9 inch area.  Place pattern on.  Basing and finishing will be done in class.   Paints will be supplied.
