So come join us for a virtual Paint Nite with Melody Gillespie and let your artistic side shine!
NOT AVAILABLE ON THIS DATE. NO WORRIES, WE RECORD!! JUST BUY A TICKET AND YOU WILL BE SENT A LINK OF THE VIDEO OF INSTRUCTIONS AFTER THE EVENT.
Recommended Supplies –acrylic paint blue, red, yellow, white and black, optional - orange and purple, chalk, can be purchased at Michaels, Joanne’s, Amazon, Hobby Lobby, your local favorite art and hobby store (the best, always support local) or sourced online.
Canvas – 8x10, 9x12, 11x14, 12x16, 16x20 in size but use whatever works for you! If you don’t have a canvas, heavy paper or cardboard works too. For children, 8x10 or 9x12 are best, as they tire easily. If you don't have much experience painting, you will be much happier with 11x14. Some have done exciting pictures by dividing the canvas in half by a line and doing 2 different and related pictures on the 16x20!
- Acrylic paints - you'll need blue, yellow, black and white, brown, orange, green, opt: chalk, but feel free to bring your own unique colors into the mix.
Brushes: small, medium, and large flat brush, small and medium round brush,
Brushes consisting of variety with detail, fan, found, small and medium round brush and a detail brush.

I realized as soon as I was old enough to hold a pencil that I could draw. My drawings were so realistic that as I child I would sell pictures to my classmates of their pets to them for 15 cents. I never stopped drawing. When I was sitting in boring meetings I would draw the people sitting in the meetings. Now that I am retired, I have enjoyed teaching drawing, painting, and colored pencil to others. Drawing and painting is a series of processes, along with the powers of observation. I may have had naturally obtained powers of observation with hand and eye coordination, but all of that can be learned, and I have taught children as young as 4 and others in their 70s. It is wonderfully relaxing and confidence boosting. You will never look nature the same again.
Now I am a painting fiend, I am a member of the Art Association, and am on the board of directors of the local art gallery.
