So Shauna & I did another painting class at Uptown Art last week. I know, I know...I need a wing at home to display my masterpieces. But seriously - it's just a really fun girls night out. Eat dinner, drink wine, paint, laugh at other people paintings yourself & spend time with the girls. What's not to love about that?!
(When you get on their mailing list they email you coupons. I got one for 20% off a class to celebrate Harvest Homecoming. Shauna & I speak discount like a second language...)
This time we chose the 'Owl Trio'. They had the owls & branch already drawn on. (THANK GOD.) This painting was by far the most difficult I've done. It had SO much detail & the instructor shamed encouraged us to make the owls 'any color you want'. Typically I stick w/ what they do, but I didn't want a turquoise owl like the original called for so I made a PINK one!
We added the little swirly thingies & painted the branch...
There was a lot of mixing colors this time too.
Again, the instructor was very adamant about making our owls how we wanted them to look. I liked that but it also stressed me out. I just wanted her to TELL me what to paint, where & what color! I stuck w/ the original design of the first ones eyes closed, 2nd looking up & 3rd half asleep. I did vary from the original in my detailing of the owls.
If you look closely, you can see one of Shauna's owl has hair & a bow. Yea, I wasn't that brave...

When you said it had lots of details I thought that first picture was it, I was thinking what is detailed about that?
I was just thinking this week that we need to schedule something, even if it can't be Twilight. I'm in!
I'm IN!!!!
