As we continue to try to find a way to stay in business in the light of the latest announcement, we are listing sample art for sale.  Sample paintings are pieces that were done as samples of upcoming paint parties or as demonstration pieces we painted during paint parties.  They are listed at discounted prices.  If you ever considered purchasing art we hope you will do it now.  We will continue to list more pieces as we can photograph them.  Please contact Kelly if you have any questions regarding the art.  You can click our store link here to see what is available.  It will be changing as we add more so please check back to see what is listed.  And thanks for your continued support.

Art CritiqueWe are still trying every way possible to remain in business when this catastrophe ends.  And while most of you are staying in….and creating….we are going to offer an online critique service.  Maybe you are painting more on your own during this time…either by yourself or with your kids….and you can’t get it “just right”.  We are here to help.  Below you will find the information on how it works.  You can click here to go directly to the link.  If you need assistance with your painting while you are staying in, we hope you’ll consider an online critique.  Thanks!

“A critique is an invaluable component in an artist’s education. Get advice and support by submitting a photo of your work. Maybe you are having an issue with composition; maybe it’s a color mixing problem; or maybe you just need another set of eyes on it to see what it needs. Just submit one photo of the piece of art and get advice to improve your painting. Asking for a critique can be scary but those artist intent on improvement will welcome honest and genuine suggestions. Here’s how it works: Once you purchase a critique package you can submit one photo for critique. If you have a specific question concerning the painting, submit that too. A critique will be given as quickly as possible. (We will check emails and texts several times per day and get some information to you quickly.) Once you apply the critique suggestions to your painting you can submit one more photo of that painting for follow-up.”
1 critique/1 follow-up = $10
3 critiques/3 follow-ups = $25
You have the option of submitting the photo via email to kwalker@thestudioforlearning.com or via text at 540-683-9688.

Scarves as Art

We are doing all we can to stay alive during this unusual situation.  Last fall we worked with VIDA to use some of my art to make scarves…and bags.  We think they turned out great.  I gave them as Christmas gifts to some of my good friends who all seemed to like them.  Since I have a few more I have listed them in the store…just in case anyone is interested.  If they are popular we may design more.  Thanks for clicking here to see them.

OpenI hear people saying, “When this is over we’ll all be enjoying restaurants again, full shelves again, socializing again.” But unless it is over soon that will NOT be the case. The landscape of our community will not look the same as it did before this started. Many small businesses that you have enjoyed over the years won’t make it through months of closure and no sales. Think about that! The businesses that you go to every time your kid needs a donation for their school, for their ball teams or scouts…the businesses you go to for fundraisers for your organizations…those small businesses that give to you every time you ask are at risk now. They’ll be gone and all that will be left will be the large stores most of which have “policies” that don’t allow them to donate locally. What will we do then? Keep in mind our small businesses that need you now as you needed them when you asked for help. Make a real effort to help them. Buy a gift certificate. Pre-pay for classes to come. Buy art. Do what you can to keep small business alive. It’s the heartbeat of our community. Please don’t let it die in all the madness. At The Studio we are continuing with small classes so if you are bored come and paint with us. It is a good time to learn something new. Adult classes are every Wednesday from 10:30-Noon or 5:30 to 7 pm, or Thursday from 2 – 3:30. Kids meet on Wednesday from 4:15 to 5:15 pm. Contact Kelly and come join us for a class. If want to help The Studio stay alive you can click here and purchase art or gift certificates.

This current situation will kill many, many small businesses.  It is difficult for us to close for a month without severe ramifications.  The Studio is going to continue to be open. We have sanitized all surfaces and are taking all precautions but we will remain open.  We hope to have you come and paint with us.  We encourage you to review some of the past images we have painted that you may have missed and yet wanted to do.  Now is the time.  Just pick your image (and there are tons of them including but not limited to the ones shown here), contact kwalker@thestudioforlearning.com or call her at 540-683-9688, and arrange an appointment to come paint.  We will sketch the canvas and have it ready for you to come paint.  Please help The Studio remain open if you can by continuing to come in and paint.  Thanks!

Fence with Flowers singleWe really like painting old fences…especially those with flowers.  We have a few new designs coming up.  Here is the first one.  And the cool thing about this one is that it can be done as one canvas or two.  So if you want to come as a couple or a parent and child, you can both paint half and put it together to form one beautiful work of art.  So come paint with us on Friday, April 10th at 6 pm.  Click here for more info and to registerClick here for more info and to register.
