The workshops teach drawing and painting in pencil, ink, watercolor, acrylic and oil, for ages 6 and up. The page says the team can travel throughout Los Angeles and Ventura counties, but does not say whether parties can be held at a client’s location. The page does not state the length of a party, the number of children, the price, the packages, or what is included.
