Available Workshops and Classes
Painting Parties
Painting parties are very popular these days and Susan offers her own unique version. Rather than following the instructor along on a prescribed design, Susan prefers that participants actually learn some skills at her parties. So the party begins with some basic colour mixing exercises and knowledge about painting with acrylics. Then a demo of how to get the painting started. She sets up an actual still life for students to work from and then goes around helping each person, in their own style, to develop their painting. Then more demos and more encouragement. At the end of the party every participant has a different version of the same still life and has an original painting to be truly proud of.
So basically, you get your friends together and Susan will bring everything you need to your location... oh, except the wine and snacks! The optimum timeframe for a painting party is three hours.
Consultation and Private Classes are available at either at your location or Susan's Studio.
