If you live near a city or an artsy town, you may have visited
studios hosting painting parties. Friday evening, two of my daughters, my niece,
and I spent the evening at
Stroke of Art where art is a party. The cozy studio
tucked into a corner in Withamsville, Ohio hosts painting parties, special
events and art for children.

Our Instructor Carrie |
When we arrived, our instructor, Carrie, greeted us with a
kind welcome. She set us up with easels, canvas, paints, water, brushes and
pallet knives. As a group, we selected the painting we wanted to create. Even
though we followed the same idea, our choice of colors and our personal styles
made our finished art unique.

As much as I appreciated the perfect set-up with generous
supplies, I loved the laughter, encouragement and camaraderie with the girls.
We snapped pictures, reminisced, admired each other’s work and just enjoyed
being together.
No matter your ability, I highly recommend this fun experience.
Do you have an art studio where you can paint or have an art
party? If you do, please share.
What a fantastic idea, Penny! I'd never heard of an art party at a gallery or class, but if one was available near here, I'd certainly try to take advantage of it. I love the finished paintings, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathleen. We had so much fun! If you can find one, you should try it out.
