What a beautiful Sunflower painting in a red glass vase. Join me for the day to paint this Kathie George original design which is 14 x 18 inches in size. It is painted with watercolor and wax on rice paper. You will be so thrilled with your finished result.
Brushes, supplies, and paint will be provided. Some prep work is required prior to class. Seating is limited so register soon!
This is a FULL day and it will take every minute to complete this beautiful painting. You will need to bring your lunch to eat while we are working, no time for a lunch break.
