Holiday Lantern Painting Class

Classes are held in Hope Blakely’s professional working art studio and gallery in Arvada, Colorado—the same creative space where Hope paints, teaches, and displays original artwork. Spend a cozy Sunday afternoon painting a glowing holiday lantern surrounded by evergreen foliage, holly berries, and a bright red bow. This 11 × 14 project is designed to be a fun seasonal activity as much as an art class, making it a great choice for friends, family members, couples, or anyone who wants a creative break before Christmas. During the three-hour class, we’ll work through the dark background, warm lamp glow, glass and metal highlights, evergreen shapes, holly leaves and berries, and the finishing bow. Beginners are welcome, and exact copies are not required. All painting supplies are included. Ages 14+. Class size is limited to 6 painters.
