Real talk about the Masterclass.

This is 35 hours of acrylic painting technique. Five Saturdays, 10am to 4pm, starting September 12. Plus a bonus session October 24. Plus a group show in November where your work hangs in the gallery.

We cover color mixing, brushwork, glazing, blending, and how to develop your own style. Not just techniques — the thinking behind them.

It's $1,200. (Was $1,500. The sale price is real and it ends.)

There are limited seats. I'm not going to be vague about that — I mean it. When it's full, it's full.

If you've been wanting to really learn how to paint, not just mess around with it, this is the thing.

**** Bonus**** If you don't care about the group show and want smaller bites, I did add a few slots for mini sessions - 1 saturday of the big class to get as much as you can out of me. That one's a real steal!

OH! And don't forget, both options are elibible for the member discount code located in the members area. Sign up for $5 to get your discount code for the class you want to take.

Chill & Sketch at our Sunday Sketchers club. We meet two Sundays a month at Lace Finch Studios. $5 for coffee/tea & donuts. No experience needed. Bring your sketchbook or borrow something of mine.

This is not a class. It's not structured. It's like an open studio with snacks, just a bunch of people creating together in a nice space.

Pre-registration is appreciated so I know how many donuts to buy :)

::Looks around:: anybody still here?
After yesterdays post I may not be favorable in the feed . If you are still here or see this after you come looking, go to www.lacefinchstudios.com and sign up for my studio newsletter. You know once you start talking about truth and reality their platforms don't like it.

If you really wanna be in the know about me or the studio, sign up for the Inner Circle. It's pay what you can but it probably won't be 5 bucks forever.
