Enjoy these gorgeous little paintings, and they also make beautiful gifts. This workshop is inspired by the Point Reyes National Seashore, Pierce Point Ranch barns.
Paint your favorite barn
Painting your favorite barn can be a fun and rewarding experience whether you are an experienced artist or just starting out.
Use these techniques and apply them to the barns you know and love. If your barn has darker wood, we'll look at that, too.
This class will help you determine the style and composition you want to achieve in your painting.
