In the final session, you'll stretch your raw canvas onto a wooden frame, transforming it into a finished artwork. This technique is fluid, freeing, and fun, perfect for both beginners and experienced artists. There are no rigid rules—just an opportunity to let go, be present, and enjoy the creative process. Many students find it meditative and relaxing, a great way to unwind and connect with their artistic intuition. All supplies included.
