Painting the Cardinal in the Dogwood or in the Snow!

Mom and son painted the same thing

 Although I posted a collage of these painters in an earlier post, I wanted to show better photos!

So this group came together the other day and enjoyed one of our "Choice" classes! It's been popular-you choose which of the paintings you would like to paint.
So we had some Moms and sons, families and friends spend two hours in the Art Zone and the results were fabulous! 

Mom and son did it differently!

Friends painted!

The BLUE Peacock class!

You gotta love it when  groups of friends come to paint! We always say that "Friends should not let friends paint alone" and last night everyone took it to heart! A group of four came complete with wine, chocolate and popcorn and had a delightful time!
Another group of four were enjoying an evening in the Art Zone without the complications from the day to slip in and a pair of friends came to encourage each other to create!

The "Blue Peacock" is one on those paintings that can be taken to a very detailed level or a less detailed one. It is easy to just keep painting away and adding embellishments. And any artist can take the same image and paint it a dozen different ways and colors. Maybe a red, lavender, rainbow peacock....it's your painting!

ALL the results were stunning!

And unbeknownst to the painters, they all absorbed some valuable tips about blending, color harmony and details :-) We love to sneak the ART into HAVING FUN!

I think I'll bring popcorn next time.......

Painters of the "Blue Peacock"

The Blue Day

The Blue Peacock

This morning's class tapped into their abstract side and created beautiful versions of the "Blue Peacock."

This is one of those paintings that you can easily spend hours on end in the Art Zone as the embellishments that can be added are endless! You are only limited by your imagination. A great mother/child kind of class!

It was a Blue Day and later I will add images from the "Bluebird of Happiness" class,  a painting created in the realist style that requires a full about face for those painting today in both classes!

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

Woo Hoo the Red Cardinal!

Happy Students!

Another great class with some amazing results! This crowd painted the Cardinal in the Dogwood Tree" and as you can tell from this collage-the results were wonderful.

Several brought their own wine and generously shared it with other students and it's always fun when friends get together over a painting class!

 

Happy students, happy painters... we raise the bar on what you think you can paint!
