| - Nothing eliminates painting anxiety better than snacks, some wine, and fabulous instructors. Yet before the Wine Palette, local aspiring amateur painters were forced to eat at home and pre-party before daring to venture out into public to practice their craft. No longer!
The Wine Palette is like karaoke, only with painting. You have your alcohol to reduce inhibitions, a socially sanctioned environment to let loose, and--much like lyrics on a screen--the instructors walk you through how to paint. Having not touched paint since grade school, I love this!
I've been twice now and have had both a 5 star and a 3 star experience (averaged out to 4 stars for this review!). The first time the instructor was very helpful: clear instructions, manageable sections, good pacing. However, the second time, a different instructor could have managed time a bit better and provided more guidance for brush strokes. To her credit, the crowd was particularly loud which often overpowered the ability of the instructor to teach.
Overall, this is a fantastic way of spending your evening on a date, with friends, or just to meet some new people. I'll be coming back!
