This is a group for painters who would like to paint on a consistent basis with other serious painters in a large, well lit studio in downtown Santa Rosa.

We can get models if thats what the group wants. Please let me know your interests regarding painting. Thinking about Sunday afternoons and perhaps Thursday aftern …

Interested in painting or drawing portraits but too shy to ask random strangers? Tired of drawing your loved ones over and over again? This group is for you. Let's get together and take turns sitting for each other. Just to be clear this is NOT a nude figure drawing session (not that I have anything against nude figure drawing). My interest is in faces specifically. I work in mixed media so it's easy for me to bring low maintenance supplies with me like colored pencils, water colors, pastels. Ho …

We are a community of entrepreneurs, artists, architects, designers, musicians, painters, photographers, writers, and creative enthusiasts exploring creativity and the intersection of art and entrepreneurship.

Instead of hiring someone to faux paint for you, learn to do it yourself. All you need is paint, the object you would like to transform and your imagination. The rewards are endless. Don't throw out something no longer in style, recreate it. Save from dumping into the landfills, save your money. I will teach you to paint an old lamp, a piece of furniture, update your kitchen or bathroom cabinets, etc.

This is a group for contemporary artists in the Silicon Valley area who desire to meet other artists for the sake of fostering artistic community. Silicon Valley is a tough area to work in as a contemporary artist. With the exception of a few galleries and museums, and some small collegial art programs, meeting other artists so as not to be creating is a vacuum is difficult at best. Engaging with other artists is key to sustaining an art practice, both for the purposes of moral support, getting …

What is Intuitive Painting? It is very different than waking from a dream and wanting to paint the house you explored in that dream, though that may show up. It is different than 'wanting' to paint the sunset or waterfall, it's about seeing it show up in all it's glitteryness your intuitive painting. This process does not require that you know how to paint any of those things, it just requires that you are present and willing to experience it. Intuitive painting is the process, it is the freeing …
