Note from Artist: I want everyone to know that whether you’re new to the class or have taken it before, it’s going to be a fantastic experience. For those who have participated in the past, there will be opportunities to learn some new techniques, as I will work with you on fresh concepts. Additionally, I can provide new references for us to explore.
