Dinner Party Art Class with Rebecca Brand

Hi Art Class!

The evening schedule is: We will set up the art studio together before we have dinner--4:30 or whenever you can make it -- maybe paint a bit, break for cocktails and sit down to dinner together. After dinner we head back to the art studio and paint some more!

I teach French Impressionism. You bring your own materials - the first class you don't need materials, I will provide. The canvas fee is $10. I have easels set up in the studio for you. I teach from the very beginning, the first steps and onward of the classic painting method of the French Impressionists. No experience at all is required. IF YOU HAVE NEVER ATTENDED, YOU WILL NEED SOME ORIENTATION PRIOR TO THE EVENT, so you must message me here on Meetup.

4:30 Arrival - to set up, get organized
6:00 Wine Down (BYOB) Cocktails-- BRING DRINKS
6:15 Dinner - Many students bring dishes to share- It's always fabulous!
7:00 Art Class
8:45 Clean up and over by 9 ish.

All paintings for beginners MUST only be classic French Impressionist to copy. I have books for you to browse at your first class.
On all following classes, you will progress with your painting at your individual pace. The 2nd class is the drawing of your subject with vine charcoal, then we progress into the Prussian blue outline... there is a method I teach that helps get your painting to be a life long treasure! Part of the fees are used to pay an assistant that sets up the class.
The background music is soft classic rock as we paint.
The home for this NEW 2023 series of art classes is that of Patron of the Arts -- a generous gift of a good person at his amazing estate. The setting is an amazing Montecito Estate on a gorgeous property. There will be parking instructions and address to those signed up for this class.
Many of the former students love to bring a side dish! Which is always appreciated! Don't worry, you will not go hungry! If you have any dietary restrictions - plan on bringing things you can eat for yourself, because the recipes are very standard American fare.

We will sit down to dinner, all in all with my private list of past art class members there will be about 14 guests altogether. If you want to help set the table or otherwise be more involved, just let me know, it is soooooo fun! We have such a good time!

I will from time to time film these nights, and certainly do lots of social media. You can Google me to see the types of projects I'm involved with -- Rebecca Brand. Everyone that attends agrees to being on the filmings, which are usually snipets on my iphone, and your attending is your acceptance. If you are photo adverse, this is not the class for you - you don't need to pose, but incidentally you may be in a photo or video.
The art studio is in a large garage set up as an art studio. I will heat as necessary.

This is a special special group and event. I have been studying or teaching French Impressionist oil painting for over 30 years. It is my passion! I hope you may check it out! Everyone is welcome! To see my art style and work, Google: Rebecca Brand Fine Art America.

Cheers!
