While many ancient civilizations are remembered for their historic works of art, others are remembered more for the bar tabs they forgot to close out at the end of the era. Make an inspired contribution to cultural history with today's Groupon: for $35, you get one introductory art workshop in either watercolour painting (demonstration only) or pencil drawing from fine artist Crystal Beshara (a $75 value).

Award-winning artist and illustrator Crystal Beshara's worldly expertise enlightens students to the fundamentals of art composition in a variety of mediums. Inspiration-wielders can choose between two beginner-level classes to learn how to create their own frameable arias and to start on the epic personal journey that leads to changing one's name into a symbol. The Intro to Watercolour class takes students through the basics of selecting the right colours and materials for masterpieces-to-be, followed by a how-to demonstration by Crystal on introductory techniques such as painting skies, trees, and flower petals. For a hands-on helping of technique, students may select Intro to Pencil Drawing, which covers light, shading, 3-D skills, and other line-based acrobatic feats of graphite. All course supplies are included in the value of this Groupon, and growing prodigies also receive 15% off any other weekly class or one day workshop to shower walls with personally-crafted splendour or to gift loved ones the unreturnable.
