,You had an amazing night out painting, and now you want to learn more; Awesome.

The purpose for paint nights are to simply introduce adults back to the art of painting. As we get older we tend to limit our abilities creatively by sometimes putting ourselves in a metaphorical box. Paint nights were created to help you shed any fear or doubt you may have about your ability to paint, and show you that you CAN DO IT, and IT'S FUN!

Now that you have attended one or more paint nights you are feeling inspired and are wondering, what's next? Well art classes will now help you expand on the painting techniques you were quickly shown. They will allow you to dive in a little deeper to get your creative fingers tingling. You can experiment with different painting styles while learning in a private, professional, small class setting receiving practical and relevant coaching to help you begin painting at home.

A great art teacher will teach you how to create various landscapes, seascapes, floral, and still life pieces using 2 to 3 brushes in the beginning, working your way into 5 to 10 brushes in just a few months. a skill set that takes artists usually several years to master.. Taking art classes is giving yourself a great foundation to start from, saving you hours of frustration, and money on paint and canvass. Yes of course every artists still needs to experiment on their own, and you will get better over time. Practicing with a mentor makes it easier to spend the precious time you have on creating images you are interested in, and less time in the school of hard knocks working the kinks out.

REMEMBER:

You don'tt need to go to fine arts school or buy tons of painting books to get started. There are no grades given at the end of a class., just helpful tips, instruction, and new friends. Try a class or two, and see where it leads you. ;)
