NEW! This new series of fun, funky floral pieces has been super popular on social media. Learn to create whimsical mixed media flowers in vessels on a background full of patterns. Incorporate acrylic paint, metallic leaf, stencils, and your own gel printed collage papers into a colorful, bright, piece of artwork. All levels welcome.
