March 13 OR 27 - DATE CHANGE for March
7 - 9 pm Painting: spring mushrooms We’ll provide a couple of bottles of wine; feel free to bring your favorite and/or some snacks to share. from Donna ... Come and paint with us on Fri. Mar. 13th or the 27th from 7-9ish....:) We will have a fun evening of painting, encouraging, talking, and lots of laughter! You may start out as strangers but by the end of the evening you do not leave feeling that way ... Art has a way of bringing people together. As always I encourage everyone to make the paintings that we paint "their own" so always feel free to change background colors etc. You are the artist! I am just giving you a place to start and instruction along the way. We are painting a very vintage style image and I LOVE this one. It is more challenging than past paintings with lots of blending and some drawing but I know we can do it! Last months Sip and Paint got really big, really fast and that is the reason for the 2 dates. If this continues to fill I will offer two dates monthly. We'll see how it goes. Pass our class info along to all your friends and lets enjoy a creative evening full of good positive vibes :) Adults only - fun girls' night out! Fee:
Pre-registration required by 24 hours before the class. Email Donna to register. Registration will close by the day before each class OR when the class fills. These classes fill quickly so be sure to register soon! |
