Pinot's Palette

At the beginning of April, yes I know, it's the middle of May now, I went to a little place called Pinot's Palette. At Pinot's Palette, you choose a night to go based on what type of painting they are doing (at least that is what we did). Then when you get there, they have all the supplies you will need ready for you (paint, canvas, brushes, water cup for rinsing, etc). I met up with my Australian travel partner, Courtney, and her crew to paint "Tulips in Blue".

This picture shows some of the different paintings that have been done.

The instructor gives you directions one step at time to paint the picture and then lets you have at your canvas. The first step was to paint black from the top down to the middle and then blend white from the bottom up to the black.

The next step was to paint some grass and leaves. They showed us different techniques on how to get different shades of green or to give it a different look by making a different type of stroke. Different. I know.

Then we were shown (you guessed it...) different ways to make a tulip. I went in knowing that I would like to paint pink tulips if possible, so my tulips are not blue. {that wouldn't have really fit into Miss Snowflake's room.}

My finished product!!

Here is our little group with all of our tulip paintings!

It was a really fun time!!! After looking at their website, there are lots of fun paintings that I would like to try but then what would I do with them all?
