Birch trees took center stage in our latest Mixed Media Arts Series class. Using pencils, black Sharpies, and acrylic paint, our participants created beautiful birch tree artwork inspired by the season. With step-by-step guidance, they practiced shading and added texture and color, giving each piece its own personality. We loved seeing their focus and individual styles shine through and look forward to more creative discoveries in our next class.
