Painting with acrylics

Painting Butterflies

 

Evening Stroll on Beach

So we were so busy with classes, art shows and new animals at the farm that TIME slipped up on me!

But not to worry! The following are images of what our painters have been creating and they have been busy!

Whether you are experienced, a total beginner, 5 years old or 105, you will leave with a beautiful painting in just 2 hours!

Piglet in Acrylics

Acrylics are water soluable, easy to clean off of you (not your clothes) and dry quickly. That means you can paint oiver areas you may not like or add to areas that you have already painted!



So from Farm animals to insects, to beautiful scenes, to abstracts.......well we are painting it all!

Kids and cats and abstract art!

What happens when you combine kids (ages 5-15) oil pastels and markers and give them the luxury of creating any type of abstract cat they'd like?
Why don't I let the results speak for themselves? :-)

January art classes

OK, December was crazy!
Now we''re ending the first week of January and have already had our first series of Saturday painting classes.
The January calendar is up so be sure and check out the acrylic and watercolor classes that we have scheduled-one is bound to capture your imagination!
The winter children's classes continue with an emphasis on painting and sculpture so if you have a child between the ages of 5 and 16, join us!

Holiday Art Class

A Saturday in December is always a busy day everywhere  with parades, sports, parties and Christmas events. But we had participants come out to the Holiday Inn Express in Apex, NC to participate in a fun filled "Holiday Art Class" sponsored by the Apex Arts Council!
Each person decided what she would like to paint and brought along a photo. See the remarkable results below!

Paint and Glitter!

The Christmas Tree!

Wow November whizzed by and suddenly, December is here and I am working on portraits every day.....but it is the time of year to have fun with paintings!
The two Christmas trees were created by 5 year olds and adding glitter to wet paint is literally the icing on the cake! Below our adults settled into a Cabin in the Snow while a mother daughter duo embellished their snow covered cabin with a decorated Christmas Tree!

HALLOWEEN-the Haunted House!

I was pleased to see parents painting with their children at our October 27, 10-12 class! The subject was HALLOWEEN of course and it was the "Haunted House."  This is one of those paintings that starts the same for everyone but the details are what set it apart...amazing what everyone (including parents!) sees or remembers about Halloween that makes their painting special and unique!
Check out the results below!

Adding classes to another location

Speaking of news!
Grumbacher Company asked me to teach some art lessons at the Michael's store at 5240 Capital in Raleigh NC....what fun! 
They have not had a painting instructor there in a year so I'm essentially building it back up. BUT it should be a great location for the morning and evening classes and those participants in Raleigh and further south. They have a nice sized classroom where we can accommodate a group of up to 12 comfortably. (no stools in any of our classes-just chairs!)
Classes at Michael's are $25.00 per person. Supplies are not included but a nice Grumbacher starter kit can be purchased with everything in it you need to keep painting for a long-g-g-g time for $49.95. :-) Bring in one of their coupons and get it 40-50% off!

So, first class tomorrow morning 10-12 "Field of Pumpkins!" See what a previous class (all ages and abilities) painted below :-)

Class for Field of Pumpkins

For all of our participants north, don't worry-we keep right on with our classes at 139 S. White St!
The rest of the October classes only have a few spots left and can be found here  http://www.artstudentacademy.com/Getting-Started-Dates-and-Times.html

Start painting for the Holidays!
