Imagine being able to:
🎨 Create beautiful paintings with confidence
🎁 Make heartfelt gifts that friends and family will cherish

I’m slightly obsessed with these hearts (the first time I’ve been able to paint anything “from scratch”). I LOVE the deepening of color that the DIY Clear Wax brings! I’ve watched Connie’s video 3times (so far!) I hope we get to learn more about the color wheel in future classes.
