Eventually, he agreed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen people come to the&nbsp;panting&nbsp;sessions to learn about painting with brushes, palette knives&nbsp;and kind of a general overall knowledge of beginning paintings,\u201d Watkins said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said some beautiful paintings have come out of the workshops, including pieces created by children.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the workshops are returning to Stewartsville, Missouri, in October.
