More Outstanding Portraits

Our painters are creating more outstanding portraits. Here are a sample from our last class.

The young woman was painted by Carol Burns.





The young boy was painted by his Mom, Keiko Shimizu. Keiko has painted with us for 6 months now. Amazing.



And the woman is a work in progress by Lois Arnold of her Mom.













And we're having so much fun! I am certainly enjoying these classes and paintings. I'm ready to paint more portraits!

Decorative Painting Classes for the Summer

We’re planning lots of fun painting this summer at Artful Endeavors. Please notice our Friday classes and June Girl’s Night Out. I hope you can join us!

Please register ahead of time to secure a seat.

Summer is approaching fast and we’re ready for summer painting with special classes and a varied schedule. We’ve found lots of great new projects to create. In consideration for gas prices we have made it possible to paint a little longer some days or paint morning and afternoon rather than drive several days.

On June 6, 6p – 9:30p, we’ll have a special

Girl’s Night Out!

We’ll order dinner and have a great time creating. Be sure to check out the butterfly card! A little painting and a little paper and …..

Be sure to note our weeks off from classes:

Liz is at the SDP convention May 25 – 30.

Ros Stallcup seminar July 21 – 27.

No classes August 2 – 12.

Carolina Mixed Media Art Guild

This past Sunday the Carolina MMAG met at Artful Endeavors for our May play date where Liz taught a batik art card project.

Batik on rice paper was new to most of the artistic members of the guild and the results were beautiful as you can see. It's so much fun to see what different creations come from the same basic idea and technique.

The Carolina Mixed Media Art Guild is a diverse group of Carolina artists who welcome creative individuals from around the area to discuss artistic endeavors, exchange ideas, post calls for shows and events, chat about unique supplies, and above all: promote mixed media in art!

Painting with Ronnie Bringle

Our seminar with Ronnie Bringle was a big success. Intensive painting, 8 hr days of painting, so nice to just concentrate on work on one painting.
The portraits turned out exciting and we learned so much. Ronnie is great about showing you the details that create a true likeness. We worked with JoSonja paints using Ronnie's techniques that work so well with portraits.
And Santa was so much fun. We still had some painting to finish but all the Santa's were looking handsome. Beards are great.

Kitty Kitty Class

I just had to show you some of the wonderful Kitties that our painters painted. They turned out so good! This kitty was on a gold reflective surface and he had his eye on the fish.
