Learn to paint a wonderful wintery landscape at Peggy Dike’s Mountain View painting workshop. Peggy will demonstrate how to use the brushes and acrylic paints and will lead you step-by-step to complete this wintery scene by the end of the workshop. You will be amazed at how much you can accomplish.  Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate painter you’ll come away with more skills to add to your painting arsenal. You’ll not only learn Peggy’s techniques but you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of value, shadow and principals of design. 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.  Sign up online at www.smac-art.org.
