Class will be lead by Petra Krugel. Petra has lived on three continents, and this is reflected in her work. Images from Africa, the Middle East and Texas are recurring themes in her art. Her favorite medium is soft pastels, closely followed by mixed media and acrylics. Petra is still taking art courses, exploring new ways of expressing herself through her art. "I don't think I will ever stop learning - there is always room for improvement." Come paint with her!

Class will meet at the Bee Cave Arts Foundation gallery, located in the Hill Country Galleria, across from H&M and Dillard's.

All supplies included. This event is BYOB. We will have cups on hand, and the gallery has a convenient water fountain.
