Almost Home mixed media house
Monday 9-4pm
In this class we will transform a boring photo box into a house of curiosities. Using architectural elements and a wonderful technique, we will assemble mixed media houses full of interesting texture and dimension. We will discuss composition, painting & aging techniques, scale & repetition.
**Taryn Reece is delighted to team-teach this class with her sister Rachel Betterley, a talented Maine artist & teacher and her mother Robin Betterley, a renowned miniature & watercolor artist. For more information www.robinbetterley.com
