SUMMARY:Landscape: Silk Painting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Imagine the brightness of colors and the freedom of movement of the brush. Imagine the freedom of creativity pouring out of you as we paint winter with one stroke! Not everyone loves winter? It’s cold\, the daylight is short\, we must wear layers of clothing.

You can go bask in the snow by skiing\, snowboarding\, ice skating and sledding\, even wallow in the billowing snowdrifts. Winter smells like tangerines\, mulled wine and Christmas! It is a time reflect and dream about all that is possible. I invite you to journey with me on a bright\, fluffy winter fairy tale as we paint our dreams on silk. All necessary materials will be provided. Looking forward to painting on silk with you!
