We all know you have the cutest fur baby in the world, so why not create a fast and fun watercolor painting of your beloved pal? This is a beginner-friendly class—yes, absolutely beginner-friendly. and we promise that you will be proud of yourself. Please email a photo of your fur baby to our coordinator at negrecia@rogers.com so we can send it to one of our artists to pre sketch for you. This way all you have to do is enjoy Brunch and paint. Ideally, your photo should be a portrait of your pet’s precious face, which will help us create the best possible artwork within the time we have. Doors to the pub open at 10 and we will start painting at 12. You can show up any time between 12 and 2 and still have plenty of time to finish your portrait. While you’re painting enjoy some Brunch. And one Mimosa or Caesar is included in your ticket. This is a fun watercolor project designed to be easy and chill. We will explore loose watercolor painting and the techniques that create airy, translucent brushstrokes. All materials are provided, except for a picture of your beloved pet. If there’s a class you’d like to see offered or you’re an artist seeking a place to teach, reach out to our coordinator at negrecia@rogers.com with your thoughts, ideas, We at the growing studios offer a wide selection of workshops and art classes from cooking to planting.
