Nothing says Christmas quite like handmade gifts and ornaments. And, in case you haven’t noticed … Christmas is just weeks away! Why not have some fun while the days quickly pass by creating your own ornament.
Experienced ornament artists Shirlee Lind and Kathy Conrad will provide an ornament-painting overview followed by group and one-on-one painting instructions/techniques.

What to bring:
If possible bring an 8×10 print or photocopy of your reference. It’s much easier to see the details in a larger format.
Acrylic paints in colors pertinent to your subject.
Canvas or canvas board perhaps 12×16 or under. Gesso it in advance of class if wish to.
Lightly sketch your subject onto the canvas using a pencil. A lot of detail and or shading is not necessary and can complicate the process.
Assorted paintbrushes in various sizes.
Water container
Mister to keep your paint moist, I use an old pump hairspray bottle that emits a fine spray.
Paper towels
Table easel if you don’t want to work flat.
A lunch or snack, and beverage.
** The Guild will provide the table coverings, and hot tea will be available.
Please let Diana know what your subject matter will be at least a week in advance of the class so she can prepare some helpful tips to share with the group. I am also happy to help you with any questions and or suggestions on specific supplies and brushes, based on your subject if that helps. You may email me at strom.diana@gmail.com, and mention NCAG workshop in the subject line so I know it’s not spam. I look forward to seeing you on April 16th, from 10 to 2.
