To celebrate she wanted to try something different with a group of friends. We discussed all of the usuals--dinner out, drinks, maybe a cooking class. But we ended up a a wonderful new venue in town called Art 4U. After speaking with Becky, one of the owners, a date and time were booked and we were off.
The seven of us, and our guest of honor arrived on a snowy evening and were ushered into a bright, warm cheerful studio space located in the Doerflinger building. We brought our own food, wine and hot cider to start our evening. After a bit of chatting and lots of laughter, we all sat to begin our lesson. We were told we would all be sketching/painting a still life of an apple.
Ha, clearly Becky had never seen my stick figure drawings before! She assured us that each of us was more than capable of such a feat, and yes, each of us would leave with a finished product that looked like an apple! Becky walked us through the process step by step. There was a lot of nervous laughter and dare I say, fierce concentration going on.
My friend who expressed her doubts the most, ended up with a beautiful finished product, very much to her own delight! Even my very untalented fingers managed to create an apple! Wow, we were all pleasantly pleased with ourselves! If you haven't tried it, I would highly recommend giving Art 4U a whirl. It's a wonderful, different way to spend an evening with friends or a significant other. And who knows, you might just discover you are a Michelangelo or Picasso in the making!
