Painting Classes

Post new topic

CAF

I met a gentleman last week at the Kingdom Compound who was selling some of his beautiful art work - mostly oil on canvas.  I chatted with him for a few minutes and he told me that he was a retired ART teacher and was in private business giving art/painting lessons now.

I have talked him into giving lessons here at the compound if anyone is interested.  I will discuss with him later this week about fees, but if anyone is interested in joining please let me know.

Is this still on? Does the gentleman give classes? to women too?

CAF

Yes, I haven't had too much interest so far but if I could get a about 5 pp, we could start classes.

I would love to support this, but my diary is filling at the moment.  If it comes down to numbers and your 1 short, let me know but it will depend on the time of day and the frequency?  A great idea CAF, well worth encouraging :)

CAF

Great - Ive got a note going around the compound too.  So I'll keep you posted.

SOMEONE PLEASE BECOME FAMOUS FROM THIS SO I CAN SAY I KNEW YOU WAY BACK WHEN.

I am very interested Caf, but there are transport & time issues like, getting my driver to get me across town in this nightmare traffic once I get home. So I cannot commit right now.

CAF

Sparrow - No problem.  I'm really hoping to get something going by Jan if the interest is there.  If not, its not a big deal. 

But I'll keep you posted when/if something changes.

I would be a horrible student. I could never hold a brush; I dont even hold my toothbrush properly :p.
It sounds very interesting, but I kind of have a mixture of gowiththeflowUK and sparrow's problems.
Time, transportation, and full schedule.
I'll keep on checking your updates to see how it turns out.

Thank you CAF for trying to make Riyadh as fun as possible.

CAF

Jill - its soooo good to hear from you!  We have been putting up with Dave :lol::lol::lol:  patiently waiting for you to arrive!!  :)

It will be wonderful to finally get to meet you and have you join the group.  We def need more eagles!  :top:

Nonz - thanks for your kindness!  :thanks:
