COWS in the COW class!

"Painting Cows" in acrylics

Wed night was "Painting Cows" class and what an assortment of wonderful results we got!

Can you tell the teens who previously participated in the "Pop Art Pets" class? They took their cow paintings in a completely different direction with wonderful results!

These students were beginners who enjoyed Steve's individual instruction and were thrilled with their final results!
Next set of classes is this Saturday with "Cardinal in the Snow" (yes even though it seems like spring!) and "Hot Air Balloons!"

Wild Ponies and Lighthouses

Wild Ponies of the Outer Banks

 These were a few of the happy participants
in our Saturday classes, "WIld Ponies of the Outer Banks" and "NC Lighthouses."

Wonderful job all

Next class Wed, Feb 22 6-8 Painting Cows!"

Settling in with friends and painting!

 The crowd started arriving about 6:45 and the last painter left around 9:30! What a great night!

All ages, from all over the area and from all different backgrounds, they all came together on Valentine Evening to have fun and paint and sip wine!

Steve making the rounds and helping

Pat raised a toast to finishing a beautiful painting!

Now really, it doesn't get much better than this. 32 people, 32 different paintings (no paint along here!) and the creative juices were flowing!

We were proud of the men who, with dogged determination, produced some beautiful and vivid art!

They can be proud of what they accomplished!



Pat was one of the first arrivals and while her husband, who said that he had not painted anything since 1944, and relaxed on the couch to enjoy the group, Pat went right to it and created a beautiful Valentine Tree!

More images coming later with art results from the couples!

and the Valentine Tree fun continues....!

Painting the Valentine Tree on Feb 13

By Feb 13, we have enjoyed watching couples paint many versions of the Valentine Tree and every time we are amazed at the creativity and fun they generate while doing so!

Last night's class was large  and many took on the challenge of painting matching and intertwined trees!
 The results are beautiful!

 The historic,Twisted Vine wine shop, where the class was held, supplied a  sommelier for the group and they had the advantage of purchasing their choice of vintage wines by the glass (or bottle) 



Looking forward to tonight's final Valentine Tree class with 15 couples coming to enjoy a unique Valentine Day evening!

Results from THE VALENTINE TREE!

Our Saturday, 2/11, 3:30-5:30 pm class

Results from two of the five classes we had Friday night and Saturday on painting the Valentine Tree!

What makes these classes so unique is that none of ours are " paint along" classes. Every art piece is unique and individual as the person painting it!

Our Friday, Feb 10 evening class!

Our classes are a nice offering of realistic and abstract. Plenty to choose from that strike your fancy on our calendar.
 
In all, the participants have a great time. In all of them, they leave with an amazing painting, a fun experience...and really, you can't put a price on that can you?

Just two classes and a few spots left for the evenings of Feb 13 and 14 at the Twisted Vine Wine Shop location!

Pop Art Pets AND Paint your Pet classes

POP ART PETS with Art Student Academy

POP ART PETS!

What a FUN class this was! And not as easy as you might think. It can be challenging to switch gears from realistic thinking to pop art thinking!

But I would say this group did it admirably!

The second collage is a few of the earlier group who worked diligently to Paint their own Pet!

The ORIGINAL "Paint your Pet" art classes with Art Student Academy!

We are the ORIGINAL "Paint your Pet" instructors and our students create lovely original art, by hand, without painting on top of a photo! 

Check our calendar to see when these classes come back up!
