Each session will provide a different instructional focus. All supplies included, but it is recommended that students bring an apron, a sketchbook for note-taking & ideas and their own brushes (1/2” flat or filbert recommended, 1 smaller, plus 1 smaller (#4-#6) Other cheap/found supplies will be discussed at the first class.
