Hansen Museum
LOGAN—The Hansen Museum invites artists of all skill levels to pick up a paintbrush and discover the joy of painting during its upcoming Magic of Painting classes on Saturday, Nov. 21, and Sunday, Nov. 22.
Led by Hope Blakely, a Certified Bob Ross Instructor, these popular workshops offer participants the opportunity to create their own beautiful works of art while learning the techniques made famous by beloved television artist Bob Ross.
Each day will feature a different painting, giving participants the option to attend one class or enjoy an entire weekend of creativity. On Saturday, participants will paint Thankful Wishes on the Wind, a charming autumn scene featuring a young pilgrim blowing bubbles against a brilliant fall sunset. Sunday's class will feature Reflections of Serenity, a peaceful composition showcasing a delicate purple water lily floating on a dark, reflective pond.
Blakely will guide participants through each painting step by step, demonstrating techniques for creating beautiful landscapes, blending colors, and adding those special finishing touches that bring a painting to life.
Whether you have never held a paintbrush or have years of painting experience, these classes offer a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the creative process. Best of all, participants will leave with a completed painting they can proudly display or give as a gift.
Both classes will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Hansen Museum Community Room. The registration fee is $90 per day, per participant, and all painting supplies are provided. Discounts are available for Hansen Museum Patron and Sustaining Members. Participants need only bring paper towels, a smile, and a willingness to have fun!
Classes are open to ages 14 and older. Those attending Sunday's workshop are invited to bring a dish to share for a potluck lunch.
With the holiday season approaching, the Magic of Painting classes provide a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a little creative time, learn something new, and perhaps discover a hidden artistic talent.
No previous painting experience is necessary, and as Bob Ross often reminded his viewers, everyone has the ability to create something beautiful.
Space is limited, and advance registration is encouraged. For more information or to register, contact the Hansen Museum in Logan or visit the Museum's website at www.hansenmuseum.org.
