I was a guest at a small painting party in Currituck, NC, on April 15, 2016. The teacher/leader, Andrea, got off to a rough start. After being late, she passed out paint, materials, aprons, etc... Unfortunately, she didn't bring any brushes. Only because our hostess had four young children, was she able to find a smattering of kid brushes upstairs. Additionally, we were short one canvas.
I don't know what would have happened if Andrea wasn't saved from the debacle of not having brushes. The evening probably would have been ruined; Andrea kept repeating that it took her 90 minutes to drive to Currituck, and that she had a 90-minute drive back to the business.
Andrea did point out that whoever packed the materials had forgotten the brushes. That may be true; however, someone should have caught that error. It's akin to going to a baseball game and forgetting the bats.
The good news is that, overall, the birthday party was enjoyable, and I do think the idea of the "Inspired Canvasses" is an excellent one. As a University Art professor, I think it's a great business model, and I wish them tremendous success in the future. read more
