Paint Starry Nights at the Burlingame Library

I love having a room filled with people who are excited about art. When they find out how I teach, they can become quite apprehensive. This was a full class of strangers to me, with most of them being beginner painters. I want you to see how well they all did-every single one of them! It gives me great pleasure to inspire people to break free of their fears and explore art in a safe place with just enough encouragement and help if they ask for it. Here's a quote from a library patron who has attended many of my Paint Like...series over the past 2 years.

"I went with a friend to see Early Rubens at the Legion of Honor. I realized how much more I could see and respond to in his work based upon my attempts in your "Paint Like...series". Thanks, Christie!
