I read all the great reviews about this place and had to check it out! My girlfriend has been talking about attending a painting class for a while, so I decided to finally take her to this one. I was glad I did because this place is a lot of fun, yet simple, even for people like me that suck at art and could mess up on a stick figure drawing!
They feature a different painting each class and it is on display near the front door so you can see an example of what you will be painting that night. You can also check their website for a calendar of scheduled paintings in case there's something specific you wanted to learn how to paint. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by the instructors, who will explain everything to you about the class. After you check in and pay for your class, you are free to grab drinks at the bar and food at the kitchen before you are seated (flatbread pizzas and cheese/fruit plates mostly). The instructors will then seat you and have you grab paintbrushes, an apron, and a plate of various colors of paint.
Once the class begins, the lead instructor will take you through the painting step by step, telling you which colors to use or mix and what shapes to draw on your canvass. They make the class very simple so that everyone can follow along and finish with a beautiful painting. The class is very social and there are even icebreakers and jokes worked into the class (so that the paint has time to dry in between). I'm a horrible artist and even my painting was pretty good at the end. We even took photos with the instructor and our paintings.
The room is decorated beautifully and there is also a wall of artwork displaying past canvasses painted in class. They also had a photo booth in the back corner but we didn't check that out. We had a blast in class and will definitely plan to come back soon!
