Regina Murphy will lead us in a "Crash Course in Design"
Her years of experience and collection of knowledge will help you produce better works. Please join us as she answers these 4 questions:
1. What Makes a Good Painting? 2. Do you know why one landscape, still life or portrait is better than many others? 3. Do you know how to judge your own work? 4. What are the secrets of good design?
