Release Your Inner Artists Painting class

Come paint, munch on some tasty snacks, while sipping tea (or coffee) and find your inner artist!

Don’t know how to paint or draw? No worries because no experience is required! Don’t consider yourself “artistic” or “creative”? I am a professional artist (with over 12 years of teaching experience) and I specialize in teaching beginners and those who don’t see themselves as creative . I am very good at coaxing out your inner artist. :)

Have fun exploring your creativity in an encouraging environment with me as your guide. I’ll be taking you step by step through the painting process in an easy to follow format, but you get to choose your colors, explore your creative side, and express your individual style. No “cookie cutter” paintings here!

This is a 2-1/2 hour acrylic painting class with all supplies included (you’ll be using my artist quality paint, brushes, and painting on a 12″x12″ stretched canvas). You will leave with a beautiful finished painting you will be proud show to your friends and family! You wont be able to wait to hang it in your home!

Be sure to visit the local workshops page for pictures of one of these fun classes in session!

Lots of new paintings!!!

Lots of new paintings being created in my new studio these days! Many sold before I was able to get over here to post them (some of my fabulous Facebook friends snatched 'em up), but the round ornament is still available to purchase as of right now and also the two birds on canvas at the end of this post will be available after the workshop I'm teaching next week. The first pic is a commission painting in progress. And now for the pics... 20130118-181248.jpg

20130118-181816.jpg Whew! Sorry for the image heavy post, but there was a lot of catching up to do. The last pic was a sketch I did this week while sketching at a a coffeeshop with a new artist friend. I SO have to do that more often! I had been stuck on a couple of paintings, but when I returned to the studio everything just "clicked".

Won't be able to get back to the studio 'til Tuesday since the kiddo doesn't have school on Monday. So it's a nice long weekend for us! I plan to start back posting here at least once a week (usually with new paintings for sale since I am now getting regular dedicated focused studio time each week) , so I hope you'll stop by regularly. :)  And be sure to keep a check on my online store for new prints I'll be adding this coming week. xoxo

I'm participating in Paint Party Friday this week :)
