Open Studio + Demo
What Color is Water? with Tanya Davis
Thursday January 9th from 10 am to 12:30 pm
Join us for an artist talk with demo. Presentation will not take up the whole 2.5 hours. There's plenty of time for Q&A, sharing, and going off on tangents. Please feel free to bring your own paints, recently finished piece or work in progress, or reference photos you’re considering. This is not a critique. It’s just fun to see what everyone is working on.
