Engage the viewer’s imagination by creating mesmeriz ing atmospheric paintings. Painting by Rodie Zolecki EVERYTHING WINTER WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 13 10-3 $60

Fal l in love with the everything Winter.

ARTIST TIP: CONTROL YOUR LINES Use the r ight brush! Using a brush that’s too small creates unwanted l ines. Your painting wi l l look streaked instead of smooth. A larger brush leaves you with fewer edges—a nice transit ion within an object. Save the smaller brushes for detai l . “Original ity is the rearrangement of already present things.” G Thornton Hunter
