Art masterclass: Bring your paintings to life
Eyes are the window to the soul and can make or break a painting. Expression can help you convey your message in your artwork. Owls have such big beautiful eyes, which makes them the perfect study to learn all the skills you will need to tackle eye paintings or portraits in the future.
Learn how to bring your paintings to life with me at this fun and welcoming masterclass where we will focus on skills to paint owl eyes. Not only will you learn valuable acrylic painting skills but you will leave with a framed piece and a bunch of lovely new painting friends.
