This past Friday Cheryl and I went to a painting class in Lenox Village, off Nolensville Rd. The place was called Paint + Canvas. The concept is not to learn how to paint necessarily for future projects, it is really about creating something right then and having a good time. If you have any artistic background you would probably take away more from the class than someone going knowing nothing. But it is really just 2 hrs of an instructor saying do this, mix this and making the painting your own. I have absolutely no back ground in painting and can’t draw at all so I was pleased my painting didn’t look like a kid did it. It was really hard for me to learn how to mix enough paint once I new the color I wanted. That is something I think I could do better next time. But, it really was fun and a great experience. I was so glad to be able to go to the class with Cheryl and have such a good time and walk away with a pretty cool painting.
There is also another one called Sips and Strokes that I would like to try out as well. They have a class in Hendersonville and Franklin. I would definitely recommend trying it out. It’s a fun thing to do with a couple of friends. I suggest grabbing a bite to eat before hand with a drink to relax you though, it is a bit stressful. Both Cheryl and I left feeling the tension in our shoulders and backs. If anyone wants to go let me know I’d love to go back…I can’t wait to sign up for another class!!!!
