March 23 - Barb Hanson - Building of Europe in Watercolours

NEW: if you would like to pay for your class spot via etransfer, please still register online through our website, and send your etransfer payment to lacombealbertaartguild@gmail.com to complete your registration. Your registration will not be complete or held until payment is received.

It’s lovely to be able to immerse yourself into the culture of other countries, and when you aren’t able to, or you want a reminder of where you have been, what’s better than having a painting to get lost in?

You will be able to choose to paint 1, 2, or 3 images and learn to paint loosely, while adding in the intricate details that will make Europe distince. You should leave class with insight on how to do building from pretty much anywhere!
