Summer Firefly Painting

Use vibrant acrylic paint to create a magical evening scene, where the weather is warm, sun is nearly done setting and fireflies are coming out to dance. Markus Bean will show kids step by step how to pair and mix colors to create their unique scene complete with tree, flowers, moon and shining fireflies. A great class for foundational painting skills, with a limited number of brushes used in a variety of techniques to showcase the simplicity of using techniques over fancy tools to create artwork.

These classes are geared toward ages 6-12. older kids are welcome as well as long as they are mindful of the young ones in the class

You can drop off the kiddos while you go run errands or take a well-deserved "parent break" (classes are 1 1/2 hours). You can also stay if you wish to help your youngsters, if you feel they might need it.

We have been having so much interest in our kids' classes the last couple of months that we are now starting to do waitlists for our classes once they fill up, so please get in touch with us if you need to cancel so we can get ahold of the next person.
