Prior to visiting PainBar Madison, I was a little unsure what to expect. I had been to other Paint Studios before, but they always lacked the personality one would expect from an art studio. When we first walked in, we were immediately aided in picking out a canvas, paint colors, and a place to sit. Our waitress was extremely patient and made sure that we had all the painting supplies and drinks that we needed. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that Friday is Open Mic Night. Rather than sitting listening to normal coffee house music, it was nice to have a variety of local artists serenade us as we painted.
