# 34 Paint a Picture



Last weekend, my friend Jessica invited me to be her date for the grand opening of a new paint bar in town called, Painted.  If you haven’t heard of a paint bar before, essentially it’s a place you can go to paint a picture.  You don’t need to bring anything with you, all materials are provided for you to paint your masterpiece. 


Painted.

Once we arrived at Painted, we were handed our aprons, Jess and I then found a place to sit and were ready to get started.  Jen (owner of Painted.) was our instructor for the evening and she began class by showing us what we would be painting.  She then gave us our first instruction: paint a circle. 

Yep, that's us painting!

Our next step was painting around the circle and so on and so forth.  In between instruction, Jess and I chatted amongst ourselves and we also conversed with other students in the class.  The environment was so fun and relaxed and before I knew it, class was over and I had a completed painting in front of me.   As I looked around the room I noticed that everyone’s picture was a little different but in essence, it was the same picture with variation.

If you’ve never considered yourself artistic or even if you’ve never held a paintbrush before – I promise you will feel like an artist at one of these classes!     


Watch out Van Gogh – I might be painting your starry night next!
