Description: Before the Brush - Where Ideas Begin:   An Artist’s Morning of books, ideas, and creative community.
Join us for a relaxed and inspiring **morning of art exploration, conversation, and community**. This is not a workshop or a class—it’s a shared space to **gather ideas, spark curiosity, and dream up what’s next** in your creative journey. 
We’ll come together with a generous library of art instruction books (and you’re invited to bring any favorites of your own!) and spend the morning exploring topics like:
?️Composition &amp; design
?️Value studies &amp; drawing fundamentals
?️Color palettes &amp; color theory
?️New mediums and creative approaches
?️Artistic habits, prompts, and project ideas
As we browse, we’ll chat about what we’ve tried, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what we’re excited to experiment with next. This is a **low-pressure, idea-rich environment** designed to feed your creativity—no supplies, no finished pieces, no expectations.
**Coffee and light refreshments will be provided.**
Please bring:
?️ A notebook
?️Your phone (to capture notes, snapshots, and inspiration)
?️Any art books you love and are willing to let others handle gently (optional)
?️A friendly, curious attitude ?️
**No artwork will be created on site**—this morning is all about research, inspiration, and connection.
