Description

What We're Painting:*Please Read Full Description* This is a casual landscape painting class, like a paint and sip but without the alcohol! You are welcome to bring any beverage, except alcoholic drinks which are not allowed at the park. You are also welcome to bring snacks/breakfast! I will bring Coffee and Cold Water which will be available for everyone. We will be painting the park, you are welcome to focus on any part of the park you like, although the nearby pond with trees in the backdrop will serve as a nice landscape to focus on! We will also be listening to light music while we paint, you are welcome to contribute a couple favorite songs to the playlist! The ticket price includes your canvas (you obviously take home after), paint and paint brushes (for temporary use), and cold water bottles and/or iced coffee. You will learn: How to do a loose sketch before you start painting How to block in the main areas of your painting first How to get those details right, like trees and the pond. *I do recommend playing with colors! My landscapes are usually somewhat abstract so don't expect to have a photorealistic landscape painting in 2 hours, be ready to have some fun with it and come home with a beautiful and colorful piece! Super Important Details about Location (Freedom Park)The exact location of the class/workshop is Shelter #6 at Freedom Park. Please make sure to read all of the following details before purchasing your ticket! 1: Parking/Walking to LocationParking at freedom park is not always easy. I've attached an illustrated map which shows where we are meeting, and where you could potentially park at Freedom Park. Please make sure to view that. Walking will be required, from parking to the Shelter we're meeting at (Shelter #6). Depending on where you park, it may be a walk of around 0.25 (a quarter) mile. *Once you park, you are welcome to give me a call, I will send out my number in the order confirmation, I am always able to help people find us in the worst case scenario. 2: It might be hot in the parkI am bringing a cooler with water bottles, and iced coffee. However you are encouraged to dress as lightly as possible, and just be aware that summertime in Charlotte can get very hot. We are meeting in a shelter, there is no AC. 3: In the Event of RainYou will be given a refund in the event of heavy rain and/or storms. I will also cancel the event for extreme weather. In the event of light rain, I will still hold the event, but you can get a refund if you prefer (rainy day landscape painting can actually be a lot of fun... just bring an umbrella to get from parking to the shelter!) 4: Try to get to the park about 15-30 minutes earlySo you have time to find parking and the painting location!
