Painting in San Miguel

My first real attempt at painting. I was very excited about the results! Fernando explained and showed step by step.I learned so much! Even after I find I'm looking at art with a different eye! Would definitely go again!

Thank Linda S

Thank you for sending a review so fast! In the sort time of one class you were able to implement all the techniques demonstrated, and the result shows it. Continue painting and I hope to see you back in the near feature. Fernando

Signed up for the painting in one day, turned out very nice. Framed it and hung it and was amazed at the comments from friends and neighbors and enjoyed their surprise when they learned I painted it. Quick, effective, easy and I loved it!
