Dolly Parton-Inspired Acrylic Portrait Workshop

  • 319 Peabody Street Nashville, Tennessee, 37210 United States (map)

This independent art class is not affiliated with or endorsed by Dolly Parton.

Celebrate one of Nashville’s most iconic voices with a fun and beginner-friendly Dolly Parton-inspired acrylic painting workshop, hosted by The Open Art Lab at an off-site in Nashville!

During this 2.5-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to create a colorful, simplified acrylic portrait inspired by Dolly Parton. So Yeon will walk you through the painting process step-by-step in a relaxed and welcoming environment, making this a great creative experience for both beginners and experienced artists.

Important Project Note: The artwork shown in the advertisement banner is an original acrylic painting created by So Yeon Kim. Students will create a simplified version of So Yeon’s original artwork shown in the advertisement banner. The banner image is provided as an example of the inspiration for the workshop; the finished student artwork will be a simplified interpretation of the piece rather than an exact reproduction. So Yeon will guide the class through an accessible version designed for a beginner-friendly painting experience.

No previous painting experience is necessary, and all painting materials are included.

Whether you’re a Nashville local, visiting Music City, or simply a Dolly Parton fan looking for a creative way to spend the afternoon, this Dolly Parton painting class in Nashville is a fun way to make art and enjoy a uniquely Nashville-inspired experience.
