We meet for an hour each week for 3 weeks. You should be able to complete one project during this time. When we last met one person worked on a window, one painted a plate, and two worked in watercolor. You may also come if you want to begin to paint and have no clue what to do. I will start you with a project you can master. Call me if you have any questions about your project. <B>770-965-9013</B></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="5d9e56c0.jpg" border=0 width="485" height="364" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Ladies want to Draw--- If you would like to draw in the mornings while the kids are in school. Please fill out the form below and I will be making a list of who can come on what day. Coordinating people and their schedules is my hardest chore. And I mean chore. No one seems to be able to come on the same day. I am not sure of the book we will be working from but, plan on improving your skills or if you have none plan on learning to shade and draw better. </B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#CC0000" FACE="Arial" ><B> </B></FONT></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="4a610cc0.jpg" border=0 width="272" height="204" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">We will use this book.
