Palm Frond Painting

 Last week I sent out a message to my neighborhood asking who might be interred in painting palm fronds with me. I had no idea that over 25 women would sign up for this. I was expecting 6 or 7. On top of that, they all believe I can teach them how to do this. 😳

 Oh boy! Here we go..... 

I started by setting up two sessions in May.

Now I have to quickly teach myself how to paint palm fronds. I watched some videos, (there are surprisingly many) found some examples online and began to experiment. 

I am having so much fun with this. The possibilities are endless.

Step 1. Collecting and cleaning

Step 2. Sketching and painting
