Tony Goodwin ART PARTY!!, Laguna Beach

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
I see myself as a MUSE, ENTERTAINER as well as a NATIONAL AWARD-WINNING ARTIST who believes EVERYONE CAN PAINT, and I prove it week after week and have done so for decades. I entertain while passing on Old Master painting techniques. Each guest leaves with a painting of which they can be proud.

What is the experience customers can expect?
A casual, fun atmosphere full of laughter with friends. My approach to teaching is as if you know absolutely nothing. By the time we finish the THREE HOURS, you will be amazed at the things you didn't realize you can do. Pick the desired painting date from my CALENDAR - www.tonygoodwinartparty.com.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
As I said, I believe EVERYONE CAN PAINT! It is a passion, a conviction inside me to help others expand on their creativity. As an artist, I see things differently than most people. I have found a unique way of helping others see how I see. I feel compelled to mentor others with my abilities.

What do you love most about your job?
There is nothing better for a teacher than to see the "light bulb" go off in a student's mind that they "get it," they understand what you are doing. I have many people say, "Oh, you have never seen me paint." Well, they have never been taught by me. Many of those are regular students of mine now!
