Learn to create a backlit effect through this exciting horse painting workshop Sun Splash with Peggy Dyke. Peggy has successfully taught this class many times to beginners, so if you are new to painting don’t be intimidated. You will be amazed at how much you can accomplish. This workshop is equally rewarding for an intermediate painter. You’ll not only learn Peggy’s techniques but leave with a deeper understanding of value, shadow, and backlighting. 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.
