In The Studio with Timur Akhriev
You are invited to join us for this up close, fun, and informative experience of watching Timur Akhriev paint from his studio while listening to him talk about his process, materials, tips, and inspiration.
Timur will be working on a figurative gouache painting and you can watch him from the beginning of his process through the duration of the demo. Plenty of time will be set aside for Q & A. The work will be available for sale a few weeks later.
