Paint Your Partner

$55

with Shirley Anderson

Calendar Next available session starts Nov 14, 2024 at 5 pm

Welcome to “Paint Your Partner Night” where we take the phrase “getting under someone’s skin” to a whole new level! In this class, you’ll learn the art of artistic collaboration and possibly a bit about your partner’s hidden talents…or lack thereof.

Get ready to brush away those relationship cobwebs as you and your significant other (or unwitting victim, depending on how you see it) embark on a colorful journey of mutual creation. No prior painting experience necessary- just a willingness to laugh at your mistakes and each other’s questionable artistic choices. $55 per couple

Paint and Pass Night

$55

with Shirley Anderson

Calendar Next available session starts Nov 21, 2024 at 5 pm

“Paint and Pass Night” is a collaborative art experience where participants engage in a unique form of artistic expression. In this class, attendees start with a blank canvas and are encouraged to freely express themselves through painting. However, there’s a twist- after a set amount of time, participants rotate to the next canvas, adding their own touches to the artwork started by someone else. This cyclical process continues until each canvas has been touched by every participant, resulting in a collective masterpiece with layers of individual perspectives. Through this playful and interactive approach, Paint and Pass Night fosters creativity, encourages spontaneity, and celebrates the diversity of artistic styles within a supportive community environment. Join us for a night of creativity, connection, and collaborative artistry with Artist Shirley Anderson.
