Spontaneous painting with strangers

The weekend in the middle of December found me with a holiday spirit and not much planned.  So I decided to use a coupon I had and go to a Paint Nite.  You might recall I've done these a few times in the past but this time, I went by myself.  I got to sit with about 75 strangers!  But I had a great time.  I was highly motivated by the painting of a Snowman and knew exactly where I wanted to put it.

This is a more advanced painting than I've painted before.  And keep in mind, I have zero painting skills.  But she walked us through it with patience and easy terms....and a huge sense of humor which I appreciated.

Getting started with scratchy coverage.  Looks complex but it was easy.
The motto is if you feel stressed, have another drink!

Here he comes.  Check out that expert shading!

Selfie to prove it is mine.

Drying sideways.  I'm very happy with him.

Me with my painting.  Cute frame as well.
I had a great afternoon and was pretty happy with my painting.  I hung him in my bedroom and he is very fun and festive!
