Just in time for Spring! Rhonda will show you a different palette of colors with elements including land, pond, and a figure.  She will tell you the questions you need to ask yourself to gain a better understanding of the painter's eye.  Beginners and beyond will enjoy learning a fasinating technique called chairoscuro to deminish that "cartoon" look.
