Explore ways of developing and painting a beautiful pendant that is sure to be a work of art you will love to wear over and over again.  This workshop combines methods for sketching images onto canvas using a fast and easy technique that requires no previous drawing skills, working with and mixing
acrylic paints to render natural subjects, capture the important details of delicate flora and fauna, along with construction methods for creating a finished piece of jewelry.
