Mudhead Tuesdays with Arthur Egeli, Every Tuesday June 11-August 13
9:30am to 12pm
Put a model in sunlight and paint only the essential shapes and colors before the light changes and you have painted a mud head. Sound Easy? Its the most challenging artistic problem you can face…but then again the most fun and rewarding. See you on the beach!
