My friend and I came in for a class with Fred and we learned a lot! Fred was able to show me techniques with brushes and palette knives, answer all of my product questions, and helped me paint a beautiful picture! Now I feel like I can pick up this old hobby again with confidence, and I will definitely come back to learn more.
