FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS Sunday, August 17.2008
PAINT from IB
I was worried though. The virgin
white glare of a fresh canvas
promised ample opportunity to
ruin a perfectly good piece of
paper.
Country music hummed
from a boombox in the back of
the room. When everybody set¬
tled, Ledbetter told us to choose
a shade of blue for the back¬
ground.
To create your own shade,
she said, mix blue with white
until you liked what you saw.
So we all dipped our brushes
in the paint and began mixing
colors. Ledbetter encouraged the
group to fear nothing.
If you don’t like your paint¬
ing,” she said, “put more paint
on it”
My hand shook as I swabbed
paint onto the canvas. Cautious
at first, I became more comfort¬
able with seemingly every brush
stroke. This was actually kind of
fun.
Ledbetter shouted instruc¬
tions from the front of the room,
up on a stage where everybody
could see what she was doing to
her canvas. She splashed paint
across the white board with
carefree abandon and walked us
through each step.
Bell, his 15-year-old son
Clayton and wife Amy were
having a good ol’ time. They
looked as if they were having
too much fun, so I ventured over
to check out their paintings.
Patrick and Amy were in the
middle of twin masterpieces,
while Clayton’s painting was
looking like the real deal too.
This got me worried, so I
kicked it up a notch and stroked
on some sweet-looking clouds to
float behind my soon-to-be
lighthouse.
Amy asked Ledbetter if
painting a pink lighthouse was
out of the question. Ledbetter
PAQE 5B
laughed and said, “Honey, with you
can make it neon pink
sparkles if you want. Whatever
feels right to you.”.
What felt right to me was
the feeling of release as 1
slapped that paint against the
canvas.
You reach a kind of mental
plateau where the hand stops
shaking and brain and brush
come together.
And for better or worse,
you’re covering that blank can¬
vas with color. The mental edi¬
tor inside takes a step back just
long enough to let you enjoy
the process.
I must have gotten too excit¬
ed. Ledbetter swung by my
easel and cautioned against lay¬
ing the paint on so thick., •
“We’ll have to get out a
hairdryer if you want, to take
that home tonight,” she said.
But glancing at my cell
phone, I knew I would not have
time to finish the painting, so I
sat back and observed what 1
had done ... not bad. I was
amazed just to have kept the
whole sky the same shade of
blue. >
The foundation of my light¬
house had been sketched with a
pencil, but it was time to hit the
road. I would have to return to
the Paint Soiree another time to
finish my masterpiece.
I wouldn’t say I was paint¬
ing like a pro, but it sure was
fun. And I was feeling a heck of
a lot more comfortable with
that paintbrush in my hand by
the end of the night.

Paint Soiree, go online at
