Join gallery owner and artist Fabiana Walsh for a fun and inspiring painting class where you'll learn how to create beautiful birch tree landscapes using acrylic paints. Celebrate the natural beauty of New Hampshire in this relaxing and creative acrylic painting class focused on one of our region's most beloved trees—the graceful white birch.

You'll learn how to:
• Create realistic birch bark with texture, highlights, and shadows
• Paint tree trunks with depth and dimension
• Blend colors to create natural backgrounds and seasonal landscapes
• Use layering techniques to achieve atmosphere and perspective
• Add details that make a painting feel uniquely New England
• Develop confidence using acrylic paints and brushes
