'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain' with Kathie Mathes
"Just loved Kathie’s Drawing Workshop, it was a great experience and a very friendly, cohesive group. We covered a broad range of techniques in a short time. In fact it’s got me into really enjoying my drawing, which I’ve done very little of previously! Count me in for any future workshops Kathy might do! Hope it’s not too long a wait!"
