Da Vinci had his Mona Lisa, Michelangelo had the Sistine Chapel, and Van Gogh had Irises. Discover your inner artist at Art Jam at Arteastiq Tea Lounge, where you can go on a social painting adventure. Mr Ivan Teo, its director, shares why it doesn't matter whether you're a novice or an accomplished painter to relish Art Jam.
1) What would you say to an art novice who has been standing in front of a blank canvas with no idea where to begin?
We usually ask our customers to give some thought to what they want to paint before coming for their session. If they come unprepared, our reference corner has many ideas for them to browse through. We also have a computer for customers to print images to refer to for their painting.
2) What would you recommend experienced "Art Jammers" do to draw more inspiration?
Browsing though other artists' work for inspiration would be a good place to start with. If youre still at a loss, more alcohol would definitely help!
