Park at night

Last night Jane and I went to another Wine and Canvas class at Tiato. I’ve gotta say, I like Tiato well enough–it’s big, makes decent drinks,  has plenty of parking–but damn, the lighting SUCKS. I spent waaaay too much time trying to get my green grass as electric and vibrant as the instructor’s, and it turned out it looked just fine under better lighting, but the dim lighting just made it look muddy. Also, sitting on the instructor’s not-painting-hand side means you end up looking at her back most of the night.  I’m mostly happy with the painting, though.

Wine and Canvas FTW!

I’m a huge fan of Wine and Canvas. It’s a three hour class where you can order food and drink while an artist walks you through a really cool painting from start to finish. They provide the paints, brushes and canvas, you just bring an open mind and a sense of fun. I’ve been to four of their classes since, I dunno, June? And I’ve loved it so much that I’ve been painting my own stuff at my kitchen table. Seriously, it’s a great way to spend an evening, and at $35 a class, it’s a bargain, but today Living Social has class coupons available for only $17! I’ve already bought two for myself. Check it out and take a chance on a great new hobby! (Here’s the calendar for January in Los Angeles, see if there’s anything you’d like to paint.)
