Ever wanted to “try something new that doesn’t cost and arm and a leg?” Want to learn how to paint or draw but thought you “couldn’t do it?” Think you can’t create “because I can’t draw a straight line?” (hint, nature rarely has straight lines)

Each class will run for 1.5 hours
Cost $30 (cash only)
Seniors – 60+ $25.00
No one under 18

Tuesdays at 11 am, starting May 12, Tuesdays at 6 pm, starting May 12
If there’s a day/time that works better, let me know
Classes are held at my house in Hope, NJ
Don’t wear nice clothes – acrylic paint doesn’t wash out – I know, I’ve tried
The first night we’ll be painting rocks – you bring your own (bring 2). Smoother works better. I’ll be supplying paints and brushes. (Google “painted rocks” – you’ll be surprised at how cool they are) If rocks don’t “speak” to you, go to the dollar store and maybe pick up a switch plate or something similar. I like doing rocks first because the great thing is that if it doesn’t come out the way you envisioned, you can always paint over it and start again!
When signing up, please let me know your background with creativity and I can adjust what you will work on, on any particular lesson. Beginner – great. Experienced – great!
contact me via email: pam@positivedogs.com. I don’t get FB on my phone and messenger seems to never work anymore, so if you need to contact me, please use my email and make sure you give me your phone number.
See photos attached for just a few examples of what my students have done as well as what I’ve done to get your creative juices flowing! (and let me help you find your own personal “voice”) The images below were what was going on in my life or my student’s lives. For instance, the yellow submarine – the HMS Zelda – I was missing my mom and she had fallen off of a submarine in Groton, CT many years ago. (yes, really) and the 3 rocks with the brown, yellow and white – Mom had the ugliest wallpaper in her kitchen and those were the colors <g>. Dreamer in the snow – I painted that during a blizzard. The horses – I was in a horse kick at the time, the 4 images that look like a VW Hippie bus is Bran’s cart for drafting, and so on. To see more painting examples, click here
