After what seemed like a hundred hours discussion, we are pleased to be able to announce the Prudy Vanier classes for our 2020 convention. Day 1 - Friday - Butterfly painted over decoupaged map (the map will be British, not of US!). Some preliminary decoupage of the map on to the canvas board will be needed. Day 2 - Saturday - Two half-day sessions, focussing on techniques to develop your skills: a) - Fruit b) - Leaves The techniques you learn will give you the skills to paint pictures of your own design with fruits and leaves - a range of pattern packs will be on sale so that will give you the opportunity to put the skills to good use. *Please note: these two half day classes will be teaching techniques to paint fruit and leaves - you will not be painting a complete project. Please ask if you need more information. Day 3 - Sunday - White Lilies on canvas board. Convention will be Friday 5/Saturday 6/Sunday 7 June 2020 at the Ibis Hotel, Rugby East (Crick).
