"I was lucky enough to win this tutorial download during a live show (the live chat with Cinnamon & Ginger before the Holidays)
It was intimidating at 1st since my skill level is certainly not at the Box of Cookies.
This is 11x14 & Liquitex
And a practice piece.
I loved what I learned so much with this that I have already started to block in the 18x24 that it is supposed to be.
Thank you Ginger & Jon for this opportunity to push wayyyyyyyyy outside my comfort zone!"

We will have 3 drawings each quarter and for each $25 you donate during the quarter, you will have a ticket in the "bowl". The more you donate, the more tickets you will have in the bowl.
