An Introduction to Image Transfer Workshop

Join Northlight studio artist Lydia Rain for a relaxing and immersive morning creating stunning mixed media paintings.

Lydia will show you how to elevate your artwork using the simple and versatile technique of image transfer to add images to your paintings.
