New Year's Champagne


New Year's Champagne, Difficulty = 1.5 (out of 3)
Here's a great piece to bring a little elegance into any room. We'll start by basing the entire canvas with a dark brown. After that, we'll paint our light gold background and label, add the glass, and finish with a few extra colors in the label and tabletop. This would be the perfect piece to add a clever saying or word on the label, such as your name and the date that you painted it. Remember, every thing can be changed, altered, or erased in minutes so don't worry. I'll see you there! - Jared

Fruits


Avocados Anyone?, Difficulty = 2 (out of 3)
OK, I know that post header says "Fruits" but I'm not sure what avocados are, fruits or vegetables. One thing I do know is that they are delicious. This painting utilizes the white of our canvas. Shockingly, I will be measuring out portions of the background, notwithstanding my strong dislike of the Pencil and Ruler. Add these bright colors or select your own, either way it will look terrific in any kitchen or dining room! - Jared

3's a Pear, difficulty=1 (out of 3)
Once again I'll be using a black base for this painting. After that we will use a couple of greens and a few reds and browns to get the pears ready to hang. This painting is so easy you'll be able to relax, have a drink, and talk to a friend. Hopefully you'll never know that the time has past when you leave! Good Luck - Jared

Apple-A-Day


Apple-a-Day, Difficulty = 1
This is a fun painting and takes little skill. With a black base we use our plates to draw the initial shapes of the apples. From there it's just a matter of painting the pink for the tabletop and adding the checkered wall in the background. It's fun and a great back to school painting - a time when all parents and teachers should be receiving apples! - Jared
