Learning from Nature

Create a harmonious and balanced look by taking a page from Mother Nature’s handbook. These colors that lay next to each other on the color wheel (analagous colors) are seen in autumn when nature takes a paintbrush to color leaves in reds, oranges and yellows.
Beth has borrowed from that palette to create these “simply” beautiful flowers.

To finish the painting she added a “trompe-l’oeil” frame that looks so real it makes you want to touch it just to be sure! Learn how to get that antiqued look…

May 2026 Program

Beth Wagner is a great teacher and a VERY special person! Her artistic background and longtime career in NYC shows in her easy way of guiding students. Beth and DASF just “clicked” when she came to us as a travel teacher and proceeded to join the club. She drove from the east coast to teach this program. Her instructions are clear and students all appreciated that she spent personal time with each individual. Her patience is amazing. She is generous and most supportive of DASF…

Thank You Beth  for an awesome program.
