Why Attend an Art or Creative Event?
Stimulate your imagination: Drawing and painting can boost creativity by encouraging imaginative thinking and problem-solving skills. It opens the mind to new possibilities and ways of seeing the world.
Meet new people: By joining our event, you're not just giving yourself a chance to indulge in creativity; you're opening the door to new friendships and the joy of shared experiences.
Build hand, eye & mind coordination: Diving into art can help sync your creativity with fine motor skills, sharpening your coordination and enhancing your ability to think and execute with precision.
Express and de-stress: Artistic expression provides an outlet for emotions. Engaging in art can act as a form of relaxation and meditation, helping to reduce stress and promote a state of mindfulness.
Cognitive Boost: Artistic activities stimulate the brain, improving cognitive functions such as memory, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills. They can also foster neural connections and even enhance neuroplasticity.
What to Expect:
Rotating theme: Every week is a new theme, still life or concept to explore.
Diverse Artistic Mediums: Delight in experimenting with a variety of mediums, whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist. Opt for paints, pastels, or mixed media to create your Masterpiece.
Art Meets Wine: “Enhance” your painting session with your favorite wine. Local wine and liquor shops nearby provide a selection of adult beverages.
Guided by an Art Nerd: I will provide semi-practical artistic guidance, but ultimately I want you to express your style and help highlight your natural techniques and style.
What’s Included:
Artistic Surfaces: Choose between an 11x14in canvas or fine art paper (white or black). Newsprint for initial sketching also provided.
Creative Supplies: Dive into your artwork with chalk & oil pastels, acrylic paint, or both!
Refreshments & Snacks: Complimentary coffee and one non-alcoholic beverage (water, seltzer, or soda), along with a sweet and a salty snack of your choice.
Studio Essentials: Use of a studio apron and hand wipes for convenience.
