Sunday Studio: Painting with Sarah Spillers
January 21, 2024 at 2 pm

Introducing a new workshop series in partnership with APSU’s Community School of the Arts! This month, join us at the Museum to capture the beauty of winter scenery on canvas with acrylic paint. Throughout the class, Sarah will guide you through various techniques to bring your winter landscapes to life. Learn how to create realistic snow effects, capture the softness of winter light and add depth and texture to your paintings. Whether you are a beginner or have painting experience, this workshop is designed to help you develop your skills and express your creativity. This workshop is free and all materials are included, but registration is required.
