Description:
Using a form of the “atelier” method of teaching, Kimberly will help each student along, showing how to get through whatever obstacles they might encounter. She will show you how to create various textures, organize color placement, and obtain details with different finger-painting techniques on your chosen subjects from concept to completion on the canvas.
