"Winter Cabin" is an exciting, fun, and spectacular picture to paint. It will thrill you each time you look at it on your wall. Make sure that you sign your masterpiece so that you can prove that you actually painted it. The painting will be in oil which is easy to work with. All materials provided in class including paints, 16 X 20 inch canvas and painting supplies. Your painting will be ready for you to frame and put on your wall at home when you finish. The oil painting will take 4 weeks to dry but can still be put into the frame of your choice and hung immediately on your favorite wall.
