\nSarah’s gorgeous acrylic landscape<\/h6>\n
I hope everyone had a nice February break, and\u00a0enjoyed the snow.\u00a0 After several weeks of acrylic painting, we’ll get back to the pastel curriculum and focus on hands, feet, figures, and faces. We were in the middle of the annual self-portrait challenge when the covid hit last year, and we’ll be working on\u00a0new ones soon. It’s a big challenge, and everyone learns a lot! Enjoy these vacation works, and scroll down for the class schedule.<\/p>\n
