About This Session
One afternoon, one giant leaf, and all the color of a Blue Ridge fall. In this one-day pop-up at our Waynesville, NC studio, young artists go BIG — painting an oversized autumn leaf bursting with reds, golds, and oranges while learning color-mixing and bold brushwork.
It's the perfect midday creative break: two hours, one showstopper piece, zero experience needed. Every artist heads home with a giant fall leaf ready to hang — a statement piece for the front door, fridge, or bedroom wall.
Small-group instruction with Alyssa Gangemi (just 10 seats) means real hands-on guidance for every artist — and all supplies are included.
All materials — oversized paper, tempera paints, oil pastels, and brushes — are included in the class price.
