Join us in beautiful Lake Tahoe for a fun-filled 5-day learning experience. Learn the techniques and trade secrets of John Holland, a mural artist since 1969. We will all produce a beautiful Italian-themed village scene with a nearby vineyard. An arched, stone window will be the frame for this scene. The mural will be an exciting addition to your portfolio. You will be amazed at how easy it will be to create.
