Rustic Beauty Workshop with Peggy Dyke

Learn to paint different metals, wood and flowers during the Rustic Beauty Painting Workshop with Peggy Dyke. This is an acrylic workshop, where you will learn the art of distressing the metals you paint to give the elements a weathered-rustic feel. The workshop is at the SMAC Art Center on March 30, 12:30-3:30. With Peggy’s step-by-step instruction you will be able to master this painting in just three hours using a quick wet-on-wet technique. This lesson is suitable for beginner and intermediate artists alike, so don’t be intimidated. Even if you have never picked up a paintbrush, by the end of the session you will have a finished painting suitable to hang in your home. The class is $55 per person, which covers everything you will need, including a 14”x11” canvas. Thanks to a generous grant from the City of Hollister Parks and Recreation Department, Hollister residents only pay half ($27.50). At that price you’ll want to bring a friend.
