 Guest
Speaker - Judy Leasure, a Certified Art Instructor and
Professional Artist, will be presenting at the Art Show on Friday
night at 7PM. Her topic will be "Genesis Heat-Set Oils". This is a
new type of oil paint gaining in popularity, but still largely
unknown. The special polymer-based formula keeps the paint from
drying until it is heated to 265 degrees, allowing you to set up
your palette and use as long as needed.
