Fur (Acrylic)
TIGER EYES
                                                                              with Suzanne Mikulka, CDA

Due to a student artist with a serious allergy to certain painting products, we are asking that you refrain from bringing these with you into the classroom.

  • Turpinoid Natural by Martin Weber
  • Any Krylon product

You’ve worked hard, volunteered your time, made Winter Luncheon a success, painted memory boxes, suitcases, and wall art to help your community and now it is your time for DASF to THANK YOU for all you do.

Come learn to paint fur with Suzanne as she leads you to fabulous fur results with a special brush you can use again, and again, and again!

Lunch supplied by DASF will give you time to enjoy time with your fellow painters in a relaxed atmosphere.

A short ceremony will formally thank all those who lead us in 2014. There will be lots of opportunities for you to join in the fun and take a leadership roll this year in 2015.

Thanks for all you have done. We’re looking forward to a great 2015 to paint, learn, and forge new friendships.
