Oil Painting

need to bring their own oil painting supplies.  These are not lessons, but a time for us to inspire each other and share tips we have gleaned with one another.

 
We will collect $5 per session to cover the use of the studio. Feel free to invite friends to join us.  We plan to do this every Saturday, so come as often as you find convenient.
