(Acrylic) Large 12″x18″ Slate or Tavern Board or Oval Metal Tray with a Charming Ivory Fur-Cloaked Santa holding a lantern who winks at the painter as he pauses along a moonlit, wintry countryside path with his sack. The viewer, along with a snowy hare, is peering through a stone arch. (Those painting on the Tavern Board will need to slightly alter the placement of the pattern in order to include the bunny in their painting.)  This is a romantic view of Santa’s Journey. A great painting for everyone to enjoy in plenty of time for the holiday!

(OIL) The Baltimore Oriole is not only a strikingly beautiful bird, but produces a delightful musical song as well. Perhaps we’ll paint bug holes in the Box Elder foliage. This beginner class will learn to apply a minimal amount of oil paint along with blending techniques to create this lovely painting.
