What is an Art Ala Carte class like?

In a casual, relaxed, stress-free setting, an artist instructor will lead you step-by-step through the evening’s featured painting. Whether you are a seasoned artist or an aspiring one, this is the place for you to let go, be creative, and learn in a supportive environment. A relaxed attitude and willingness to experiment freely are the most important components in creating your work of art! If you are an experienced artist, feel free to let go and take your painting wherever your creativity leads you!
