My friend, Sue, is full of ideas. When her granddaughters come to town she likes to spend quality time with them, often around unique activities  so she reached out to me to do a Painting Private Event. Here is how it worked: 

In Advance:

1. We decided on a day that suited both of us. 
2. We chose a theme: animals. The girls wanted to paint pictures of wolves and dolphins.
3. I sent them a variety of examples, from cartoons to silhouettes. 
4. They each chose an image.
5. We transferred the images onto canvas.

 

At the Workshop:

The tables were all ready for the girls with the prepared canvases and all the paint and brushes they needed.

 

Sue and I helped the girls decide on colors and kept them on track.

They had three hours to paint their animals. The youngest had some extra time so she did a bonus project.

What They Learned:

Brush techniques 

• Loading
• Cleaning
• Background
• Edges

Color Mixing

Color Usage

• Balance
• Contrast

 

The Results

The girls had a great time with their grandmother and created beautiful pieces for their spaces while increasing their knowledge, skills, and confidence. What a great gift!
