Pam Vernon to lead upcoming Corks and Canvas

-

The South Arkansas Arts Center is inviting local residents to uncork their creativity at the next Corks and Canvas art class, scheduled for next week.

This month’s class, led by local artist Pam Vernon, will be held on March 25, from 6 to 9 p.m. SAAC will provide individual­ly wrapped snacks and all the supplies needed at individual tables for each participan­t.

Hosted in person at SAAC, the class is limited to eight participan­ts. The workshop fee is $40.

Those who sign up should come to this class ready to create a bright and vivid spring landscape.

“Spring is the season of new beginnings and the earth seems to come to life again. We will paint a spring meadow landscape using a simple color palette while emphasizin­g the use of texture with bold brush strokes,” Vernon said.

Her design will be painted on an 11x14 inch canvas using acrylic paints. Those taking the class should bring their favorite libation and get

ready to have a good time.

Corks and Canvas painting classes have something for everyone, from the newbie to the seasoned painter. Enjoy a time of relaxation with your friends re-creating the featured painting of the night. Paint, canvas and brushes are provided, and an experience­d, award-winning local artist leads you stepby-step through the process of unleashing your inner Van Gogh to complete a work of art in three hours.

“Because it is really geared toward artists of all skill levels - even those who have never held a paintbrush before - Corks & Canvas truly is an accessible way to have some fun and learn a new skill at the same time, SAAC executive director Laura Allen said. “Making art together is a great icebreaker for friends new and old. “

For more informatio­n or to register for this workshop, call the SAAC office at 870862-5474 or visit the website at saac-arts.org.

In accordance with government regulation­s, masks will be required. Attendees must sign in at the door and have their temperatur­e taken. Tables will be physically distanced and attendance will be limited for guest safety.
