But Barry has developed a clientele of some very talented individuals themselves who have profited immensely from his advice. Heck even I learned something new from Barry after visiting his studio myself, and that's saying something, since he has always been so much better than me, (as a painter) -and I'm a hard case, anyway. The studio is pleasant and everyone who's come to learn gets a space of their own to work in, and it's right thar on the main drag o' the ol' Mother Lode front. He'll even play cool music whilst you work that will soothe your ears as well as inspire and spark your inner gift. Make room for it in your life, it will reward you.

They carry art from over 60+ artists, each piece is truly unique and a conversational piece. Some of my favorites art pieces include the motorcycles made from spark plugs & spare bolts, the skateboard decks turned into wall lamps and the vampire survival kits built into old radios. The staff is always super friendly and eager to explain the history behind any of the pieces. If you're in the area, I highly recommend you check them out and find some truly unique gifts for yourself and the ones you love.

We came here for the Opening Reception July 18, 2026 from 5-7pm to see our favorite Artist Mary Pippitt who did Wintry City Scape; 16x16; using Encaustic selling for $300. What an opening. There were 150 different artists showing their work. Not all the artists were present, if they were they would have been over capacity. The gallery was filled with so much beautiful and moving artwork and bustling with artists and patrons. I love the variety: Encaustic, Cold Wax, Oil, Acrylic, Watercolor, mixed media, fabric, metal, ceramic, glass, wood, ect. I love seeing so many varieties of art in one place. Maybe I'll join one day at the FAMILY $120/year as it comes with NARM, where you can visit 900+ Musuem and gallery's for no additional fee. We currently belong to my favorite museum and receive the NARM benefits which allows us to go to all the Sacramento Museums plus all the ones in North America.

It was nice to attend with friends and be able to go out to dinner afterwards and discuss all that we saw.

We'll definitely stop by the family day and hopefully sign up for another camp next year.

Today I took a rainy drive to Carmichael to the Sacramento Fine Arts Center. Parking was easy, but…read moreI didn't get the closest spot to the door this time. The Sacramento Fine Arts Center was extremely busy today, as you can tell by the number of cars in their parking lot. People were meeting with the director going over the available space and others were in the galleries. They have a nice gallery with filled with local artists artwork. They are all juried so you only get to see the best of the best of local artists. Today's painting with paper class was taught by Carol Hawkins. She teaches a monthly classes and plans them out a year in advance so you can get the dates from her. They are monthly on a Friday from 1-4pm. And $75 for the class. She takes Cash or Check. It includes all of this supplies. It's the only way I take classes these days. Buying your own supplies is over rated. You end up with extra supplies you will never use and a total waste of money. That's why I keep coming back for her classes. 1-4pm is the perfect time, you miss most of the traffic and it's during the day light. The only issue is trying to get time off from work, which is tricky. I do treasure my time taking art classes and I find this painting with paper class very enjoyable. I always come home with a wonderful piece of finished artwork. Not all classes are like this. Some classes they don't give you enough time to finish your projects so you end up with a pile of unfinished projects in the back of your closet. This isn't an easy class. You have to have a vision and work fast. There is some time to chit chat, but you also need to be very focused. It takes just the right artist to take this class. Carol also teaches an acrylic class on Saturdays twice a month 1-3pm. It's $35 All supplies included except for the canvas. She asks that you bring a 12x12 or a 11x14 canvas. I got a great deal on a pack of them at Hobby Lobby on sale. I need to take another acrylic class as I have several canvases pre purchased for the class. I don't need to get time off from work to go to the class, but I hate to spend the time away from my family on the weekend. I need to work on balance. I really love taking art classes and it's not always easy finding a good class that work into my schedule. I've taken so many art classes over the years that I've run out of wall space so now I have a gallery in my garage. Our garage is painted a light lavender color as that was the paint that they had on sale at Lowes. It's a great backdrop to my gallery. I hang up my painting with push pins to keep them secure. It works well for the light stretched canvases. The Sacramento FIne Arts Center also has a full community kitchen. I had lunch in it today. I brought my Tupperware full of delicious leftovers and used their microwave. They also have community coffeemakers so you can make several pots at a time for a gallery event. You are welcome to use their kitchen, just leave it how you found it or even cleaner. I hope to see you at the Sacramento Fine Arts center for the next painting with paper class or maybe we can surprise each other and show up at the acrylic class.
