SUMMARY:Free Environmentally-Conscious Acrylic Paint Cleanup Demo
DESCRIPTION:If you are an artist that uses acrylic paints\, you may be used to throwing out your cleanup water in the sink.

Come take a look at two methods to wash your brushes and dispose of the water and sludge. Led by artist Shany Porras (Suite 312). Click here to register for this free demo!
