CREATIVE PAINTING CLASS (3/4)
creative painting class
Painting is so much more than portraits, still-life, and landscapes. In this class, we will spend 4 weeks exploring the possibilities of paint. Previous skills in painting (or even just art at all) are absolutely not required- creative play is for everyone! The main paints we will explore are watercolor, acrylic, and gouache.
Week One: Tips,Tricks, Palettes and Tape
Did you know there is a proper way to mix cohesive color palettes that doesn’t leave you spending hours trying to pick matching colors? Additionally, pesky straight lines and crisp layers are not magically easier for artists, we use tools like tape! This week is all about basic tricks to make painting more approachable.
Week Two: Squee Gee Painting
Forget normal boring painting- let’s squee gee! Using tape, acrylic paint, and squee gees we are going to drag paint across the surface of our painting to create unique marks only achievable using this method.
Week Three: Water Etched Watercolors
Paint with watercolors in an entirely new way! Using Liquitex varnish as a sealant over a field of color to create patterns when the paper is washed, we are going to create works of art that are sure to spark some new ideas for you.
Week Four: Bubble Painting!
Loosen up and let the paint bubbles do the work this week! By adding soap to paint and using straws, we are going to explore this silly, fun, brushless way of painting.

FOOSIE LIVE @ LILLE BØNNE
FOOSIE LIVE @ LILLE BØNNE
“Foosie is the “Ghetto Bob Dylan.”
Raised in the inner city of Indianapolis, he champions storytelling through genuine scar tissue and a one-of-one, acoustic Americana-rap. Having spent nearly half his life behind bars, he writes heavily on hard-yielded transformation and the grit, beauty, and resilience of American life on the margins. Whether performing doloustic (solo dolo & acoustic), with a DJ, or The All-American Ghetto Band, what Foosie delivers feels more like a conversation. Fresh off a feature on The Kelly Clarkson Show, he's steadily becoming a distinctive Midwestern voice—a graceful, ghetto sage.”
Foosie has performed at The Hi-Fi, Kan-Kan, Sofar Indy, Sofar Louisville, and on WFYI, to name a few. And now he’ll be playing a solo dolo & acoustic show at Lille Bønne.

LILLE JAM
LILLE JAM
All Ages, All Skill Levels, All Instruments (Vocals, too!)
In the (paraphrased) words of Victor Wooten, music is a language; it's much easier to learn, and more fun, when you're with others!
No repertoire or particular skill set required - this is an open, laid-back collaborative event where we'll create music in real time.
Participants can hop in and hop out as they need to. Those daring enough can even swap instruments! Please go acoustic if you can, but we'll have some outlets available for keyboards and bass amps.
Come meet and hang out with fellow musicians while laying down some great grooves! Regardless of your skill level, age, instrument, or primary genre, there's a spot for you in the Lille Jam!
