Join us for a fun and creative workshop as we paint an adorable pufferfish hovering above a vibrant reef! You'll work on an 11x14 canvas using acrylic paints applied with a variety of techniques. In addition to traditional brushwork, you'll explore using natural sea sponges to create the reef, a pastry bag with heavy-textured acrylic for a raised effect on the pufferfish, and acrylic paint pens for adding final details. All materials are provided, including a pufferfish template to guide your design. No experience necessary—just bring your enthusiasm!
