NEW! ART-2-GOGH PAINTINGS PARTIES AT CASA DE LINDA ART CENTER-NEW BRAUNFELS


I'm thrilled to announce the launch of our newest program: ART-2-Gogh (tm) Painting Parties at Casa de Linda Art Center - New Braunfels! While the program is new, it really just combines several things I've been enjoying for years...teaching painting, local scenery and wine!

First of all, for the last several years I've been teaching "paint along" style of instructions for my children's classes, and, might I add, with great success. Everyone is always so impressed with the student's paintings, I began thinking about offering a similar class for adults.

Secondly, I've always had a deep appreciation for all things Texas (afterall, I am a native Texan), so painting bluebonnets and oak trees is just natural. Add to that Gruene Hall, the Water Tower at Gruene, the Guadalupe River, Canyon Lake and the Plaza in downtown New Braunfels and you have a great little gallery of Texas Art!

And finally, students in my adult painting classes have found that a little wine can sometimes take the stress off the day and make the painting experience even more enjoyable.

So...

For the last several months I've been working on a series of paintings that adults would enjoy doing while sipping some wine and visiting with friends. Instead of spreading the classes over several meetings and several weeks, I've worked out the instructions so that you can finish a painting in 3 hours or less. Plus, I've set it up so all of the supplies, canvas, paints, brushes, are included. You bring your own wine or beverage (coffee, tea and water are complimentary), we'll provide the cups and corkscrew! The fee is $39 for one person or $60 for two. Again, that includes ALL of the supplies!

The Painting Parties are scheduled for Friday nights, 6-9 p.m. and Saturday nights, 7-10 p.m. To celebrate the introduction of this new program, I'm offering a 2-for-1 special...pay $39 and bring a friend for FREE! Check out the calendar for January and February posted on this blog, pick a date and make it a date!
