Painting Choices for your Event or Party:
Pick your favorite painting and set a date with your peeps! Remember, pick your FAVORITE painting for your group, NOT the one you think you can do, because I will teach you how to draw (and paint), walking you through it step by step! You’ll be AMAZED what you can do! I love to help beginners discover their inner artist as I teach you how to create these beautiful canvases (and offer to pre-sketch for the most timid painter as well!) I am here to help you and my students often call me the “Art Doctor” or “Dr Laura,” because I can spot, help you fix, and encourage you with whatever “ails” you! I want you to feel successful and also encourage you to put your own spin on the sample to make it YOURS! Don’t see what you are looking for? Email laurabirdmiller@gmail.com with a photo attached of something you like and I may be able to come up with a similarly-themed sample without infringing on copyright. Be sure you have the owner of the photo’s permission to use or if it’s a Disney or other, that I TEACH you how to draw, not sell you the painting! 🙂
