About this event

The Gift of Art: Paint it, Frame it, Give it with Scott Henderson Get in the gift giving spirit at The Local Art Gallery! Join Scott Henderson on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 10:30am-1pm for a festive workshop where participants will enjoy holiday related snacks while creating a piece of artwork for gift giving. Bring a photo that means something to you (a favorite view, a family home, a special place) along with your paper and a frame. Scott will walk you through simple, approachable techniques for turning that image into a painting, one step at a time, and you’ll leave with a finished piece ready to wrap and give. No experience needed, just a person in mind and an image you love. Scott works alongside each participant, so you’ll get personal guidance every step of the way, and a relaxed, encouraging space to enjoy the process.
