Create an enchanting petite painted nature portrait that is sure to be a most cherished keepsake. Based on the work seen in the 2007 July/August issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors by artist, Tracie Lyn Huskamp, this workshop combines methods for sketching an image onto muslin canvas, working with acrylic paints to develop your subject, and capture important details of delicate flora and fauna.

Working with our surface, we will render a drawing using a fast and easy technique that requires no previous drawing skills.  This sketch will serve as a guide that aids in bringing your scene to life.

Finally, composing from gathered words and verses, a beautiful petite painted portrait will emerge.
