Elizabelle's: The Artist inside You!

Attention All Artists (and aspiring artists) here is the perfect opportunity for you to express your creative side! Yes, I promise anyone can do it! My very good friend Lisa Jordan (artist, crafter, creator, decorator, overall doer extraordinaire) has imaginatively devised a new trend in "home parties". She provides the place (her home in Greenville, NC), supplies, and directive talent for you and a group of friends to learn how to paint on canvas. Here are all the details:

$30.00/ person (with approximately 16 people in a class)
Hosted two to three times a week (book your spot now, I hear she has a waiting list a mile long for the upcoming classes!!!!)
Starts on a week night at 5:30pm
Each person brings snacks and/or drinks
5:30 - 6:00 everyone socializes
6:00 Class begins and last until about 8:45 or 9:00 (time flies when you are having fun!)

This is the classroom. Everyone has their own paint, brushes, aprons, and easels at their workstation.

These are the paintings for future classes this summer. TO DIE FOR!!!!

The tulip still life is from the first class. These paintings are the finished product for each class. Just choose the one you like best.

If you are a beach lover, you will flip over these festive beauties!

Okay, I know what you are thinking....Are you crazy? I promise you anyone can do it! I think all the women there were a little intimidated at first, saying..."I do not know why I am here, I can't paint!" Well yes you can! Lisa is the best instructor. She will put you at ease and walk you through it step by step. It is a fool proof process!

In the beginning.... I attempted to photograph my artwork in stages, but as the class went on it really began to build momentum and suddenly you are completely engrossed in your painting. Oh, p.s. yes, she already has the image you are going to paint, drawn out for you on your canvas. I know, I think a bunch of people were sweating the drawing part of the class, but were relieved to know it was paint-by-numbers if you will. Whew!!!!

Is that Picasso? No, though it is my good friend Tif diligently working on her masterpiece!

I about died laughing when we went to pay Lisa for the class and asked Tif if she needed some change to which she replied...."no, my husband left me the exact amount of money for camp today!"

Me.

TA DA!!! The group photo of art class. It was a pleasure to see everyone artwork when they were finished. The diversity was so awesome! No two were the same, which was a good thing! Plus, it was neat to see how everyone interpreted colors and textures differently.
