Side by Side Fridays At Portsmouth Arts Guild

Whether you’re young or not-so-young, picking up a brush or using one for the hundredth time, these nights are for you and yours. Pizza and Paint. Petals and Paint. Tea and Cookies. And one canvas shared between two. Create together. Make something that lasts. July 24th: Painting Pizza Plain or pepperoni-ed, choose a pizza to put to canvas. It’s a delicious warmup for beginning artists and seasoned ones alike and the best part comes at the end, when the real thing arrives. Bring your appetite for both. July 31: Petals and Paint Flowers have been the subject for artists for centuries, and tonight they belong to you. Working with fresh blooms, explore color, shape and the surprising detail hiding in a single petal. Enjoy dessert as you paint! When the brushes are cleaned and the paintings are admired, the flowers go home with you – along with something you made together. August 7: Tea Cups and Cookies Set the table, pour the tea, and take a long look at what’s in from of you – because tonight, the still life is also dessert. Paint the spread before you enjoy it, finding beauty in the ordinary and sweetness in the act of slowing down. The cookies are worth the wait. August 14: Painting a Diagram This one is a little different. Each pair receives a single canvas, divided down the middle – one side yours, one side mine. The subject? A shared world you’ll build together as you go. When the two halves meet, something unexpected happens. Part collaboration, part discovery, and dessert to go with. Come curious. What to Expect: Artistic Exploration: Engage in drawing and painting activities suitable for all skill levels. Bonding Moments: Strengthen your connection through the joy of creating art together. Guidance from local artist and educator Paula Desano: Receive guidance from Paula and experienced Guild artists who will help you bring your paintings to life. Register for one, two or all four sessions! All materials are included.
