Trust me- more fun than you think it will be! It was recommended by my friend, and I was game to try something new. I've never painted anything but watercolors in my kids' coloring books, and I loved both the experience and the painting I brought home. It's true that that beer/wine calms your thoughts of " i will mess this up and can't erase it" as soon as you start hitting that canvas. Time flies by so quickly, and that's when you know you're having fun. I chose to copy one of their paintings, and it helps keep your focus with scale, etc. Definitely recommended!
