I have gone through Vegas Painting Parties for some fun painting events three times now. Each time has been a lot of fun and I have come away with a nice finished piece that I can be proud of.
First was a jellyfish scene painted at Streets Of New York in the Centennial area of town. Next came a wave painting at Painted Desert Golf course. Both of those were from the same artist instructor. I think her name is Colleen? Apologies to her if I am mistaken. Whatever her name, she is a lot of fun and gives good clear instructions to the class. She can get going a little fast at times but if you simply ask her to slow down or repeat what she just said she will. Don't let her tattoos intimidate you.
Finally, today I went to one more event at The Palm restaurant at the Forum Shops at Ceasars Palace. This time we painted palm trees at sunset. This class was from Erika, the owner I think. It was an easy painting to complete. Simple yet elegant. Erika showed a great deal of patience with all the many questions and people expressing disappointment in their finished art. I would lose my cool but that is why I am not a teacher.
Vegas Painting Parties has some of the best paintings to learn that I have seen around the valley. And they encourage people to be different. Every finished work is the sole creation of each artist with a little guidance. Each has its own flare and style. Some display a higher skill than others but all are a personal experience and nobody can take that away. I look forward to seeing what else I can create with them. Each time I do I develop my skills a little more to apply to my own wholly original works.
