What makes THIS ACROSS THE AISLE so much more dynamic is the art of bring a painting class-- to a urban clothing boutique. So we decided, we wanted to let YOU KNOW...5 Reasons why painting is awesome!

Painting is an excellent way to express yourself, tell stories, and share your perspective with the world. It helps to connect people in meaningful ways. Lets explore the 5 beneficial qualities of painting: 

1) Enhances creativity and problem-solving skills - Painting can help you get out of a creative rut or develop new ideas.

2) Improves mental health - Research has shown that art therapy can reduce stress and improve overall mental wellbeing.

3) Develops patience and perseverance - Painting takes time and effort; it's important to be patient while working on complex pieces or mastering techniques like color mixing or blending.

4) Boosts self-esteem - Completing a painting project provides a sense of accomplishment which can have positive effects on self-confidence levels over time. 

5) Fosters connection with others - Art fosters community by allowing us to connect through shared experiences in art galleries, studios, exhibitions, etc.
