Abstract winter tree inspired by Karen Tarlton

So after a year and a half maternity leave from classes, I ended 2016 with four class offerings and a new adventure of adult classes. Insert freaked out look here. But before I post about that here is the awesome winter trees some new and old students got to create! I'm already dreaming up summer painting possibilities. 

Palette knives + 10 year olds were something new for me! Inspired by Karen Tarlton's work.

This lesson can be summed up in lots and lots and lots of layers of paint and lots of blow drying between layers!
