Hammock on the Beach, Dolphins and Abstract Cows!

Summer is a busy month for us! We are artists after all and participate in many events such as shows, gallery showings, etc. so take advantage of the upcoming classes if summer painting is what you want to do!

So what's coming up? 

How about painting a fun,  Abstract Cow?

"Gone Fishing"

 More coming but we will not have many classes in August due to shows so come on this month!

Yes! "Koi" and "Path to the Beach" in watercolors

We all painted gorgeous "Koi!"

Beautiful results from "Path to the Beach!"

The day started with Steve teaching these beginner watercolorists how to paint the beautiful colors of Koi in a Pond.

Painting fish is one thing. Painting fish underwater is another challenge! But these participants were as young as 6!






Some of the morning participants  stayed and some new students came aboard for the afternoon class of "Path to the Beach." The results speak for themselves! Several parents came and painted alongside their children and will have some great memories from today!

You've seen them so now, what's holding you back?

Paint Koi and the Beach in Watercolor! 4/28

We have two super classes coming up this Saturday April 28! Learn to paint gorgeous Koi goldfish in lovely, transparent watercolor from 10-12!  In the afternoon session from 1-3 we'll focus on painting a "Path to the Beach" in watercolor!
Watercolor is a challenging medium but many of you are repeat painters and have expressed a love for watercolor that we love to encourage!

Better yet, learn how you can carry a few watercolor art supplies with you to paint your own vacation scenes at the beach!

Steve will be teaching these classes while I (Theresa) am at the "Heart of the Artist" art show being held the same day around the corner on the grounds of the Wake Forest Seminary.

We will be painting something very similar but adding our beach fencing!

 With Path to the Beach we will have some options of adding our coastal beach fencing.

And with Koi in watercolor your patterns and configuration can be your own!
Join us!

Learn to make these colors with Steve!

Beach Art and Wine class!

Get in the mood for the Holiday weekend with our BEACH ART class!

This 6:00-8:00 pm art class is special! A wine and design art class with a beach art theme! Bring your bottle of wine (have to be over 21!), we'll have the corkscrew and glasses as well as the paint, canvas and everything you need to enjoy a relaxing two hours of creating your own art!


Follow along with Steve while you enjoy creating your own lighthouse! And if we complete that, we'll paint a beautiful tropical island!
