Coastal Scene

Acrylic on canvas, 12 x 12 inches. This painting was completed in a course entitled Coastal Canvas taught by Will Kemp at The Will Kemp Art School. I’ve taken many courses with Will Kemp over the last ten years. I hadn’t taken one in about two years, so when he announced this new course, Coastal Canvas.

The course is presented in six, 20-30 minute lessons. To take the course, go to the Coastal Canvas link, and buy the course. Once you buy it, you own it as it downloads onto your computer system.
