"The Red Truck" Online Workshop

Who doesn't love a vintage red truck around the holidays! In this workshop you will create a beautiful painting, with it's own unique style. The techniques you’ll learn can be translated into other paintings and you’ll find that most of the colors go well with any decor. My hope is that as you paint this red truck you’ll be filled with fond memories of the past or maybe imagining a brighter future of new holiday traditions and lots of love.  Remember to give yourself a lot of grace as you are learning some new techniques and don’t forget that if you mess up, you can always paint over it.  I promise you’ll have some really fabulous paintings when we get done and I’ll be teaching you step by step along the way!  Let’s get started!
