Thank you Mary for a wonderful Two-Day Plein Air Workshop!

Thank you to Mary Aslin for a fabulous 2-Day Plein Air Pastel Workshop. Mary adapted to the indoor classroom due to the weekend rain, but her teaching and demonstrations were very helpful to everyone. Day 2 provided an afternoon opportunity to get out to paint. We welcomed two new SOCALPAPA Members and as they joined the other 8 participants! 

Additional thanks to the IRWD for providing us with the Learning Center at the San Joaquin Wildlife Center.
