Our first workshop for this year is scheduled with Desmond O'Hagan. He is well known for his city scapes in both pastel and oil. He will be teaching both on OCTOBER 16, 2024. We will be signing up and paying for this workshop at the OCTOBER 2nd meeting, so bring your checkbook if you plan to attend. The supply list he suggests is listed below. This should give you time to order any supplies that you may need or don't have.

His website can be found at desmondohagan.com
