I had the pleasure of going to a super event that Dallas Single Mom put together for bloggers and friends at Art in the Vine in Grapevine, Texas. It wasn’t free, but the prices for a private party were SO reasonable that I actually bought a gift certificate from her site to hold my own party soon!
Anyway, here are my pics from the experience. I thought it would be perfect for Wordless Wednesday. Of course, since you know me by now, you realize that it won’t really be wordless at all. 🙂
Obligatory Selfie before the real work began!
An actual blank canvas! So many possibilities…
So many choices…. what to paint? We took it to a vote! The middle pic won.
Getting started. I have to admit, the colors weirded me out and I felt a little intimidated! Was I ruining the whole darn thing with too much red? Too little blue? Only time would tell..
It’s starting to take shape…
I loved adding in some self-blended purple. My favorite is the top left corner. Yeah, that tiny little spot. 🙂
Almost done! So many different and contrasting colors. Mine looked SO different from the others, of course! A few more colors to go.
Here’s my final painting! She luckily gave us a permanent marker to do our signature with. I would never be coordinated enough to do that with paint and a brush. lol
What do you think? How did I do?
This was my first time going to an art studio like this. I’ve previously gone to pottery painting places, and I have done a painting experience similar to this with my Girl Scout service unit, but never in-studio!

This was such a fun time! I had no idea I could paint. She was so wonderful helping you learn painting techniques and how to load the paint on your brush! So much fun. This is on my todo list again!

I’ve always wanted to go to one of those places, even though my painting skills are nonexistent. Looks like fun!
