| - Loved Loved Loved this place!
Bring your own bottle of wine or beer and sit and relax as you paint. All the worries you have go out the door! The only thing you will worry about will be "how will my painting turn out?". The instruction was thorough but not complicated to follow.
This was my first time attending this type of art class. I had heard about friends doing this in other cities and looked for a place in Charlotte where I could try it out. Cajun Canvas in the only place in town.
I went with my boyfriend, who at first was not excited to go. I persuaded him with the fact that he could drink his beer while he painted. Also, he has had a couple of stressful weeks at work and just wanted to relax. He didn't believe me when I said painting could be relaxing. Once we started our paintings, he relaxed completely and was really into his painting. He was the last one to finish his up because he was having such a good time detailing and perfecting his picture. I feel like he could have been there for another hour if he could. After the class, he said he would do it again! My boyfriend is a guys-guys, into sports, beer, and working out. So if he got into it, any guy will.
We went on a Thursday night and another group of six was there as well. They were three cute and fun couples in their 50's-60's. They had a blast. It was fun to see how all 8 of our paintings were different, even though we were paiting the same thing. Your personality and mood really shows through. For example, my mountains were very smooth and soft, but my boyfriends were jagged and sharp. I think this could represent how stressed he has been lately and how calm I have been.
I feel this place would do really well in the Dilworth and South Park areas. If they ever wanted to expand, I think they should go there next!
