SUMMARY:AFTER THE GROUP OF SEVEN.  OIL PAINTING WITH RICK WORTHINGTON
DESCRIPTION:AFTER THE GROUP OF SEVEN. LAWREN HARRIS\, AUTUMN ALGOMA 1920 \nJoin this beginner to intermediate oil panting workshop with artist Rick Worthington to create a master copy of Lawren Harris’s painting\, Autumn Algoma\, 1920.
