art class.

my newest adventure has been taking up painting. or maybe more like, committing to learn how to paint. every tuesday night for the next 4 weeks, you will find me painting my heart out in a small art studio tucked away off of riverside & whittset in Sherman Oaks.

i really like this class for a few reasons. of course the learning part. working hard toward the goal of painting something that looks right (or almost right). i also like it because the class is just for me. there is no agenda behind it, simply for me to experience something new. but the most interesting part of this class is my teacher! his name is eli and he is probably one of the kindest and most patient people i have ever interacted with. he encourages us students while still showing us what we can do to improve our art. and you should hear the playlist we listen to during class...probably the most random collection of music i've ever heard. it's all great. and i have no problem forking over money for the classes because i know i am getting my money's worth. and hey, i want to support him!

Alisha I love to paint!! It's been hard to feel inspired to paint when there isn't a lot of space in our apartment, BUT...we should get together and have a painting time :) Are you familiar with prophetic art? Let's chat about it.
