Emphasis will be on color placement and learning techniques to blend colors on the canvas. You’ll learn to build texture as Ms. Sharma works closely with each student sharing her tips, as well as encouraging students to enjoy the freedom of creating their own techniques.  Using their fingers to paint students will connect with the canvas in the most creative and therapeutic way.
