Thank you Anette Power for teaching us some wonderful techniques!

“Thoroughly enjoyed teaching the final class in BAA’s the Artist’s tool box series on color today. We all braved using the palette knife and a spot screen to train our eye to see all the nuances of color affected by light and other objects. Such a delightful group of artists and I hear they will all be receiving their artistic license later this month!! Big thank you to Michelle and Angel for helping set up and assisting. Keep your eyes peeled for the next series of classes in the fall! “
