Painting Children with Watercolor -Sue Nuhn January 06220105

Remove the mystery of painting children’s portraits, whether it is your grandchildren you want to paint or you just want to increase your skills in painting.  Learn how to get that smooth, translucent skin with a few simple brushstrokes.  We will paint children of all ages including infants.  Access to pre-recorded lessons will remain through February.  (All levels)
