The Class PHOTOS from Valentine Night!

A few of our Valentine Day evening participants!

More amazing, individual art!

A picture tells a thousand words and here you have results from just one class!

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!
Sign up online at only $45.00 per couple

How to paint Children in the SNOW!

A table of hard at work painters!

 Well no two ways about it-Painting children in the snow is fun! The topic was fun, the wine and coffee were great and several of the participants were moms with their adult daughters!

How fun is that? We will offer the same class again after the New Year.

"Through the Garden Gate" Students Rock!

 A series of images from our "Through the Garden Gate" class! So much fun as none of the students thought, at first, they could paint Steve's display painting!

This class was held at the Twisted Vine Wine Shop in Wake Forest.

Remember-we can come to you!

Welcome AmazonLocal students!

Welcome new students! We can't wait to see you in our classes and to share with you the ways and means to open up a whole new world of art! For those who have just joined us through the AmazonLocal promotion,  visit our website, fill out the form with your voucher number, then scroll down to see what our next classes are! Regardless of what location you signed up for, YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR ANY SINGLE CLASS AT EITHER LOCATION in Wake Forest! That's right. You are not confined to just one or the other. We want you to select a class that you feel would interest you. We have plenty of them scheduled :-)

 The joy of what  we do is that we're not limited to  just one age or one group of students. Our students are every age, every ability and they all have one thing in common.... They want to paint. 

Now we know that all parents encourage their children to explore new avenues and abilities and they would not dream of labeling their offspring as "un-artistic." But you would be amazed at how many adults believe that they "have no artistic abilities whatsoever" so we love to prove them wrong!

   We will see you at one of our classes!

Twisted Vine Art and Wine event!

What fun we had! The paintings are from our Tuesday night participants are being displayed at the Twisted Vine Wine Shop till our next event on August 30!
