Who in the Ozarks doesn’t love horses? That is why we are so excited to welcome Peggy Dyke to our stable of art teachers. Her first lesson at SMAC is called Freedom Run, which captures the emotion of a horse running free through Ozark meadows with acrylic paints. With Peggy’s step-by-step instruction you will be able to master this painting in just three hours using a quick wet-on-wet technique. This lesson is suitable for beginner and intermediate artists alike, so don’t be intimidated. Even if you have never picked up a paintbrush, by the end of the session you will have a finished painting suitable to hang in your home. The class is $50 per person, which covers everything you will need. Thanks to a generous grant from the City of Hollister Parks and Recreation Department, Hollister residents only pay half ($25), use coupon code HOLLISTER.
