Art Flights

01/06/2021

Still here...painting and waiting for doors to open again! I miss our playful events and am researching new (and old) artists to draw inspiration from on our next in-person Art Flight. I have no idea when that will be. Maybe another online event? Not the same, but I will keep you posted when new events or classes are scheduled (Always open to favorite artist suggestions!).
Stay healthy and be creative!

One unexpected positive from having to stay at home has been creating these online classes. I miss the mimosas and personal contact, but Art Flights online have become more lesson-oriented, with valuable content that extends beyond play (but still so fun)! Beginning Monday, class will be about creating a sense of place in your paintings. First lesson is all about color! Register soon for the next 4 Mondays in June: https://www.melissamccanna.com/art-event-schedule.html
