If you don't have the space to hesitate you will boldly be able to isolate and translate what is essential in your subject and more than this, small is instantaneously invigorating and fun. This workshop is all about using your brush to paint and translate while having fun. Join Leanne in this 2 day workshop where you will successfully create five 2.5” x 3.5” framed paintings that are exhilarating additions to your collection or your gift box.
