Life is short, but art lives forever.
We passed a wonderful Saturday morning with Kathryn Murray exploring new painting techniques centered around using acrylics on tissue paper.
We later used our tissue paper work for a final piece: some were for collage and some were to augment a watercolor piece (on Arches paper!!)
