UNSPOKEN: Reimagining the Portrait
About the Workshop

Over two hours, work with expressive brushwork and layered acrylic technique to complete one small acrylic portrait on canvas to take home. No experience needed, and all materials are included, along with a croissant and coffee for every attendee.
