Arts & Crafts

Join beloved MDI artist and art teacher, Carol Shutt, as she shares her artistic process from an art-making trip to Paris. She will show her imagery and poetry from an art book she created while there, and describe her process in a way that teaches you how to create a travel art journal for yourself.  This is a live online class.

Discover the beauty of painting birds in the Chinese Brush style. Use simple brush strokes to bring a variety of birds to life. We’ll start by learning about the supplies, then move on to brushstrokes, and finally we’ll put it all together by painting several compositions ranging from simple to complex.
