My first paint party night was a ton of fun!!! I'm not sure what the standard and basic way is, as I have no comparison.
The instructor was good; however, a bit more fast paced than I would have liked. Our painting had many components, so I can understand she had to move quickly to make sure we finished during the allotted time.
Everything was set up nicely, and she accommodated our party so that we could sit together. Otherwise, we would have been separated. I appreciated her ease and flexibility. She was also patient and good at answering people's questions, especially when they needed extra help.
The one critique I might have was that her microphone was a bit low volume, and I had a hard time hearing her. The sound quality didn't help either.
I highly recommend trying it out! I may go back for another painting!!!
If you aren't the artistic type, it's good to embrace the process and just remember that everyone's work will be unique with their own style.
