The first class I attended was a fundraiser for SWIRCA. I had so much fun that I have joined several other classes. I am not much of an artistic person. You don't have to have talent to have fun at the classes. I was very surprised how well my paintings have turned out. I even have one hanging in my office at work.

I understand that they are on a time limit, so they can't spend a lot of time helping everyone perfect their paintings. I don't hold the rushing against them because of this reason. Overall, it was a good time and I really liked seeing how everyone's art was so different at the end, even with the same instructions. I'll definitely attend another class in...
