Eiffel Tower Painting

 I am going to show you the Eiffel Tower as I had never seen it painted. There is a new studio in Columbia where you can go take a  3 hour painting class, and paint an art piece. This class just took 2 1/2 hours
I went with my youngest daughter  Thursday evening for the first time and painted the Eiffel Tower , we both painted it . She had gone before and knew I would like it

Of Course you start off with a blank 16 x 20 inch canvas , this is the background for the Eiffel Tower, really


                                                                         

 You paint streaks of yellow then dark gold then green & white , I got a little red mixed in my brush by mistake however it turned out to my liking
Here is my set up , we just put our paint on a paper plate , and had a ball fruit jar for our water for our brushes



I KNOW this doesn't look like anything good , however stay with me as the painting instructor said , we used 3 different brushes for this art piece

I had to sign mine



                                                                   


        OK Now here is the instructors version we tired to follow , first time I had ever painted anything beside furniture LOL I should probably not show it then you won't see I was a LITTLE off LOL




                                                                       


 It was lots of fun and I needed something new in my life to enjoy, for you gals & guys who like a little wine while painting to take the curve off your nerves , there is a wine & beer bar.


I just ran across an old post last year about some glass eggs I got at an estate sale

  1. Oh what fun, Janice! I'd love to try something like this. You have to frame and hang it, I think you did a really great job.

  6. This is great....you did good. I suggested that the Atlanta blog gals take one of these classes....everyone is on board now we just have to find a place that hasn't gone out of business....they close as fast as they open....fun idea though!!
