The holiday season will be here soon! How many times have we promised ourselves that we’d make thoughtful handmade gifts only to have the time escape us? Well, this class is designed for you! Prepare now by learning to create beautiful, impactful paintings to share with family and friends this year. Their small size is perfect for generating your own custom Christmas cards or for framing to have several meaningful gifts to share.
