Color!

After the grays and browns of winter, Spring and summer invoke feelings of needed color! And it is so easy when you pick up a paintbrush and let your colors flow!

2 special and colorful classes this Saturday can bring in the sunshine and colors!

Both will be in acrylics:

Join us from 10-12 for Colorful Macaws 




and 1:00-3:00 for Songbirds of the South!

Bluebird!

Colorful Macaws

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!"

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!

"Friends don't let friends paint alone!"

Painting TULIPS in WATERCOLOR

Our next class is this Wed from 6-8 pm and Steve will be instructing participants on "Painting a vase of Tulips" in WATERCOLOR! 

These images will give you an idea of what we'll be working with!

Want to see more of Steve's watercolors?

This is a BYOB class so come on out and learn some watercolor techniques!

Exotic Paintings!

We usually offer two classes on a Saturday. A 10:00-12:00 and an afternoon 1:00-3:00. Our Jan 21 morning class was filled with students painting Van Gogh's "starry Night" and the afternoon class was "Gardens of the Louvre". Exotic locations and exotic subject matter!
They did a terrific job! Most of our new students fast become regulars in our classes and their growth in their art skills is awe inspiring.

Painting the Louvre Garden in acrylics!

 A group of 6 moms joined our  afternoon class and had a great time painting-no kids, no husbands, no worries! Although they forgot their planned bottles of wine, in actuality they were engrossed in their paintings the entire two hours. A few of our regulars were delighted with their results in this challenging subject!

"Starry Night" in acrylics

Painting Van Gogh's "Starry Night" with it's swirls and colors is a different challenge! We love to see teens painting on a Saturday morning with us and we had several including a father with his daughter, a mom with her daughter and an uncle with his 3 nieces.

We like to think that "Friends don't let friends paint alone!" could also be worded "Family members don't let family members paint alone!"

A wonderful memory builder!

Next class January 25, A BYOB event "Hot Air Balloons!"

Paint your Pet all day classes!

a few of the participants

This past Saturday we held our popular  "Paint your Pet class twice! Once from 10-noon and the afternoon session from 1-3. The results were stunning!

The animals painted ranged from dogs to cats to polar bears and wolves...and it doesn't get much more diverse than that!

Max's beautiful work!

Lauren's green eyed wonder!

Two more classes next week include Dec 20 "Paint like Picaso"  
from 7-9 (an art and wine class) and Dec 21 "Cardinal in the Snow"!    (Feel free to BYOB to this one!) Cider and coffee available.

Moms Night Out!

It doesn't get much better than friends, wine, art and conversation! Cary Moms Group taking a break from mom chores and painting the challenging scene of the gardens at the Louvre, Paris! What a great job these ladies did! Some had never painted before! A big hand to the dads also who, for the most part, did not call in for reinforcements!
