Have you jumped on the Scottish long haired bull bandwagon yet? Everywhere you look you will see these cute burly bulls in today’s home décor. Why not paint your own? Peggy Dike has come up with a fun acrylic painting workshop, Highlander, to paint this décor trend. Learn to paint long fur and much more at this exciting workshop. Peggy will demonstrate how to use the brushes and acrylic paints and will lead you step-by-step. Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate painter you’ll come away with more skills to add to your painting arsenal. The fee is only $50, but thanks to a grant from the City of Hollister Parks and Recreation Department, Hollister residents only pay half ($25).  With Peggy’s step-by-step instruction you will be able to complete this painting during the workshop using a quick wet-on-wet technique. A 20”x16” canvas, paints and pattern are provided, along with brushes to use during the workshop.
