All levels.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Want to keep moving forward with your painting skills? Check out this guided open studio class for watercolor and acrylic painters! Jaymee will provide individual instruction based on your creative goals. Feel free to bring your own reference imagery and ideas, or peruse Jaymee’s collection of art samples for inspiration! Some previous painting experience is beneficial, but not always necessary. Absolute beginners should be prepared to work on painting exercises before moving on to individual work. Since instruction is individual, there will be plenty of independent work time as Jaymee spends time with each student.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost includes a $20 supply fee. This covers paper, brushes, canvases and professional grade paints, but feel free to bring your favorites! Register EARLY! This class fills fast!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

All levels.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Want to keep moving forward with your painting skills? Check out this guided open studio class for watercolor and acrylic painters! Jaymee will provide individual instruction based on your creative goals. Feel free to bring your own reference imagery and ideas, or peruse Jaymee’s collection of art samples for inspiration! Some previous painting experience is beneficial, but not always necessary. Absolute beginners should be prepared to work on painting exercises before moving on to individual work. Since instruction is individual, there will be plenty of independent work time as Jaymee spends time with each student.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost includes a $20 supply fee. This covers paper, brushes, canvases and professional grade paints, but feel free to bring your favorites! Register EARLY! This class fills fast!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Discover the meditative power of art and words in this uplifting workshop where creativity meets mindfulness.

All supplies provided, including canvas, and too&lt;/font&gt;ls.&lt;/p&gt;

Check out this guided open studio class for watercolor and acrylic painters! Jaymee will provide individual instruction based on your creative goals. Feel free to bring your own reference imagery and ideas, or peruse Jaymee’s collection of art samples for inspiration! Some previous painting experience is beneficial, but not always necessary. Absolute beginners should be prepared to work on painting exercises before moving on to individual work. Since instruction is individual, there will be plenty of independent work time as Jaymee spends time with each student.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost includes a $20 supply fee.
