Painting on Silk Demonstration
Date: Thursday, July 14, 1:00-3:00 pm
Nancy has been painting on silk for many years. She loves the vivid colors and flow of the paints & dyes on the silk. She is inspired by strong colors, dancing lines and anything to do with nature. She spends as much time as she can outside with my camera to capture subjects for her silk paintings (heron, turtles, dragonflies, butterflies are a few). She is passionate for purple & uses it as much as she can!
Join Nancy to see how her fabulous art work is created. Lots of time to chat with the artist and see her process.
