The goal is to end the day with two completed paintings. The morning session will feature a still life scene, and the afternoon session will feature a landscape. The workshop will be held in the school cafeteria of Queen of All Saints in Michigan City, located at 1715 E. Barker Avenue. Hours are 8:30AM to 4:30 p.m. with a lunch break.
