Nancy hosts the Orange County Mixed Media Artists (OCMMA) group, which is more of a creative get-together than a traditional class. Artists gather once a month to inspire and encourage each other by sharing what they’ve been working on. Each artist brings their own materials/projects, and often share materials they don’t need any longer that may be of interest and useful to someone else. It’s a fun way to get together with other artists in a creative and encouraging atmosphere without having to take a traditional class or workshop. 

Big Kids Paint Along

The last Saturday of each month from 1 pm-4 pm (check calendar for date exceptions)

No experience necessary. 

Cost:  $25 per person 
Includes canvas, acrylic paints, brushes, palette, smock, easel and instruction.

Call or text:  949-244-0654

Edgar Allen Toh is happy to bring his paint along parties for adults (a.k.a. Big Kids!) to the OCFA Annex where he will help you create a fun and vibrant painting from start to finish in just a couple of hours. You can sign up as an individual, couple or small group of friends to share the experience with others, or he is happy to reserve an entire class just for your group of 10-20 participants. Private kids parties may also be a possibility, so don’t hesitate to ask.

No experience necessary.
