Folks are welcome to bring in anything that they wish, just so long as it goes back home with you! A Studio Monitor is available to answer questions and orient you on materials. Some materials are available at cost, so bring cash for additional supplies.

We will explore the basic tools and properties of digital painting and programs (from FireAlpaca to Photoshop). Brushes, tools, language, program specifics, making different paintings to explore each tool.
