my masterpiece

Tonight, J-Love and I went to paint... no, not pottery- but an actual painting. We have discovered a wonderful place where you can go and they teach you how to paint a picture. We looked on the calendar and chose the "Funky Tree and Flowers" painting. We started by putting on our aprons and getting our paint.

We started with the blank canvas and quickly added background colors as instructed. Here is Julie working on her background.

Here is a picture of my background.

Then we had to draw our trees in pencil and fill them in with black paint. Here is Julie's tree.

Here is my tree.

We had to take several breaks to let things dry. Afterwards we were instructed to draw the flowers and then the rest was up to us. Now- the moment you have all been waiting for... here we are with our masterpieces!

I can hardly wait to go again!
