Each participant will receive a 16 x 20-inch canvas, acrylic paints, and all the supplies needed to create their own unique masterpiece. Whether displayed on its own or hung next to your child’s for a charming combined artwork, your paintings will be a keepsake of the time you spent together.
Guided step-by-step by the instructor, you'll both feel supported as you bring your artistic visions to life.
