Abstract Florals Painting by Amy Lynn Stevenson
Unlock your inner Artist!

Paint along with Amy Lynn Stevenson, step-by-step, adding vibrant and dynamic layers of acrylic paint on canvas. You will be provided with everything you need, not only a palette full of paint and materials, but assistance and encouragement. Each participant will have the opportunity to add their unique personal touches, and then take home their own expressive art work on a 16x20 gallery wrap canvas at the end of the workshop.

"As sunshine pierces through the windows of my studio, a fresh canvas awaits my latest, intimate adventure. I pick up my brush and begin - with the flirtatious eye of a stranger." - Amy Lynn Stevenson
