ART CHOCOLATE & TEA


As most of you know I live in this darling little town called Palm Springs,
the last few posts have featured this enchanting desert city.
Palm Springs is also the backdrop for the classes I teach.
With winter season coming soon I will start teaching once again
Photography and Drawing
Today I am going to show you where I will be holding my sketching and photography classes. This is Cafe Chocolate on North Palm Canyon in Palm Springs

What better combination than Art Chocolate & Tea.
For both the photography and art classes we start off at this lovely cafe for tea
and Chocolate and discuss either photography or sketching.


The view setting is similar to what you would see in Europe.

And from this lovely little venue

here is what you see...
Is this inspirational?
In the photography classes I help you figure out your camera (digital) and I teach you how
to take incredible, moving photos. You can attend one class just to get you
started on the right track.
But if you want to get deeper into photography there are
more Photo Classes I offer that get deeper into photography.
Just email me at stopandsmile@me.com and
look on my blog Daily Art
or my web site Diane Patricia

I also teach drawing classes... same wonderful place...
all you need is a sketch book and a pencil or pen... and by the way, you can sketch the
beautiful scenery, or the deliciously creative chocolates.

So join me at the lovely
515 N. Palm Canyon
Palm Springs...
email me .. Diane at stopandsmile@me.com

And make sure you stop by for lunch... it is very special.

Cafe Chocolate carries my favorite tea.. Tea Forte
and all Tea Forte accessories

Paris Balcony-2- Illustration by Diane Bronstein

Paris represents romance, music, art, and everything wonderful... it just has to be painted and painted often.  I painting this balcony originally very loosely and this version was done later just to give it a more illustration look.
This watercolor painting - with pen and ink- is a tighter version of the original Paris Balcony.
