Art Class

We had our first class at Grandma's Attic.

Greta George from Nature's Way Acrylics hosted a beginners painting class. Greta is a local Bartlett artist who uses Acrylic paints to paint landscapes and local wildlife on wooden plaques. Our first class was a winter landscape scene. Thanks to our wonderful instructor Greta and thanks to all who attended. We will be offering this class again in July so be sure to check out our website http://www.grandmas-handmade-crafts.com/Classes.html for more information on this and other classes.



Here is my painting, not bad for someone who can barely draw a stick figure without assistance. My family doesn't believe I actually did this.
