Paint Like a Master

Well, not me. My painting is limited to 2D turtles and pigs. But the talented people at Corks N Canvas will give you step by step instructions how to paint a picture along with a local artist. Oh and not to mention they let you bring your adult beverage of choice.

Last Friday, three of the four Shuttle Sisters (Laurin couldn't make it) plus two headed to Mandeville (on the Northshore of NOLA) for an art class.  We were lucky enough to be seated up front of the class. We had a great view of our instructor, Eddie. He gave us step by step directions on how to paint our very own Street Car. I've never had any art instruction and am surprised how much I learned in a 3 hour class.

Laurin enjoyed herself even though she couldn't be there

The finished product. Not too shabby.

If you are looking for a fun night out with the your girls, I recommend  an art class (at Corks N Canvas) and a bottle of wine. Not only do you get to bond with friends you get a piece of art you painted to hang on you walls. This is a genius idea. I can't wait to do it again.
