If strange things from WAA have landed in your inbox, don't worry.
It looks as if  a google gremlin was stirring up some mischief.
But it did prompt Betty Brown to let us know that she is teaching classes on January 9, 16, and 23 and has some spaces available. Please let her know if you are interested. Email bbbstudio@ec.rr.com

Joanne Geisel Class

Joanne Geisel to teach "Oil Painting: Creating large format paintings (six sessions)"

Tackle those large projects you may have wanted to create.  Joanne will help you from the planning stages to the execution. We will work from studies and our own photos.  Join the class to develop your skills, receive support and mentoring with the process. 

What is large? For some students a 16x20 size would be large.  Others will be tackling 30x40 canvases. Some folks will develop their paintings from their drawings and black and white studies; others may choose to complete small paintings before executing a large painting.

Please let Joanne know if you have questions or to register. By email JQGeisel@yahoo.com or phone 910-371-6160.
