Vintages Art Studio, San Antonio

Vintages Art Studio encourages creating art for art’s sake. Classes steer novices through the color-mixing and rough strokes of painting without needing to acquire mastery. Students work from a preselected artwork, such as a lone midnight birch tree or Van Gogh’s Starry Night Over the Rhone or Cafe Terrace at Night, and express themselves with acrylics on canvas, transcribing the masterwork through their own voice. Open painting in the mornings provides the supplies but leaves the subject up to the individual artist or his invisible friend, the ghost of Picasso.
