Yarn Painting #13020

The Huichol are an indigenous people of Mexico. They are well known for the vibrant beauty of their art and weavings.

Painting Fireworks #13021

Painting an image of fireworks can be very difficult as it is an action image that depends on capturing explosive light. In this special class we will be painting on a canvas board and using different paint applications to capture an ethereal Fourth-of-July image. Finishing our paintings with a silhouette landscape will add to our artistic knowledge of art methods.
