Using acrylics, watercolour and oils, Laura Banks from Ghost Lake Studio likes to paint wildlife, still life and some landscapes. She usually adds a bird or two, and sometimes a mouse!! Laura finds it interesting to see how her paintings have changed over the years but the best part is that even after retirement, she still loves to paint. When she sees something outside, the first thing that enters her mind is that she would love to paint it! Share in Laura's passion for painting in this three hour beginner painting workshop where Laura will share with you a plethora of painting techniques and tips. A whimsical cardinal will be your inspiration for this acrylic on canvas workshop.

Your artwork will then be sealed and ready to hang in your special place, even outside!
