I've had the pleasure of taking three art classes with Kathy at Raye of Light in Annapolis. My first experience was when I participated in the "Pour It On" Acrylic Paint class. What I loved about this class was anyone, art/paint experience or not could have a great time and create something fun and beautiful! Through this technique, no brushes are used, just your choice of fun colors. It was an exciting and carefree way to be creative! I'm so happy with both of the pieces I created and they're both hanging up in my bedroom!
The two other classes I took with Kathy at Raye of Light were the "Pop Art Pet & People" class. For each class you submit a picture of your choosing, Kathy was great about giving feedback in which photo she thought would work well with the application. The image is printed onto a canvas where you embellish it using a touch of marker and paint. The end result is something so personal, fresh and fun. You can get as wild with it as you would like or keep it simple. One of the paintings I did was a memorial for a family member. I decided that doing a painting of their pup as a gift would be a great way to commemorate him. My family member absolutely loved the painting and was so appreciative of the gesture. For my second Pop Art Class, I brought my Mom and sister along for Mother's Day as a fun activity for us to do together. We had a blast! I did this painting of my sweet chihuahua and am thrilled with how she turned out!
Kathy is great at giving you guidance and suggestions. All three classes were so much fun and really inspired me to get back into art and be creative. She offers a variety of classes, all of unique subjects and various techniques. The classes are held in smaller groups, so the setting is really inviting, giving you a chance to relax and dive into your art. I would highly recommend any of the classes at Raye of Light, you're sure to enjoy yourself and create something special!!! read more
