💡 Important Notes:

• This workshop is best suited for those with a little painting experience (can be acrylic, watercolor, or gouche) and some basic drawing skills.
• This workshop is best suited for ages 16+ (email if you have questions)
• Wet oil paint has a unique smell that isn't for everyone. We will have plenty of ventilation. We use Gamsol solvent which is one of the safest available solvents
• Paintings may take up to a week to dry to the touch. You can take your work home after the session (carefully!) or leave it to dry at the gallery and pick up during normal hours.
• Dress for creativity—wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy. We have aprons

🍷 BYOB: Feel free to bring your favorite beverage to sip as you paint! The kitchen at The Royal Blue is open until 10pm. You're welcome to bring food but note it is not a good idea to eat while you are painting to avoid accidentally ingesting paint.
