Description
Every couple of years, my whole family treks out to one of those fun drink-and-paint event spaces called Pinot's Palette. We take a guided tour through a painting process with a model painting to use as a point of reference. This year, we had a fluffy tree in front of a red, setting sun, with lake reflections.

I find these exercises relaxing, even without the additional fancy drinks. I get out of my comfort zone (auuuugh! Landscapes!) and just have a lot of fun with shape, texture, and brushstrokes for their own sake. If I get something moderately coherent out of it, good for me! I will be the first to admit that this is not a super-duper painting, but it *was* fun, and I *did* get to do it with my whole family - sisters, Mom and Dad, and a couple of friends. It's fun to giggle for a couple of hours while slopping paint around a canvas!

Completed with Blick acrylics.
