Paint & Sip by Maria Dunn

Hafa Adai and Buenas,

Fokai Femme Achivers Paint & Sip

hosted by Maria Dunn

Location: The Yellow Brick Road @ The Fokai Shop

Date: Since Ever Since

Not everyone has the fine hand for drawing but often its been said that everyone is an artist whether they know it or not--they just have to find their canvas.

First time painters were treated to a guided lesson by  the Principal of I Learn Academy and two-time  Olympain --Maria Dunn. Maria Dunn, a long-time artist and creator of Marleyalace also runs the Snakepit Academy youth wrestling program.

"This paint and sip session was so amazingly fun and relaxed. Sometimes, painting sessions can feel very structured and organized. This night, we painted under the stars in the hallway, that was dimly lit. We listened to Debussy and Satie and casually painted a sunset. Surprisingly, there were many first time painters, but it really didn’t feel that way at the time. Everyone was feeling them good vibes- painting, getting in the zone, and talking smack about who was the better painter. That’s the making of a great experience!

We barely take the time to stop and do something like this, so for many who came it was a total mental cleanse from the monotony of our daily obligations. In a sense, it was kind of like a group meditative session"

All in attendance happily agree that  "Meditative" is THE word--

It was interesting and entertaining to see everyones final version on the same subject.And we realize that in art the process is the true promise of the final product.

Paint. Sip. Improve. An absolute recommend. We are looking forward to the next..

Everything is Possible
