You can paint a specific painting identified for the evening or you can choose from any other paintings in her portfolio. She will help you with any painting you choose! I love being able to paint from such a large variety! Definitely recommend!!! read more

What a fun place! I am a novice when it comes to painting however, after painting here, my confidence has shot straight up! After listening to and watching the instructor, I felt like, ok, I can do this. And, believe it or not, my end result came out GREAT! One of the highlights of hosting painting parties is the tasty munchies and beverages that can be brought. This is totally up to the hostess but the owner was great about letting our group really have a good time. You'll need to bring your own goodies and music playlists to make it live. If you host a group of 10 or more, the price per person goes down. So go for it. Plan a party and let your "Inner Van Gogh" come out. read more

When I placed my order for 11 kits there was a slight problem with my order - but the owner went above an beyond to make things right. I absolutely highly recommend this business!!

While all paint nights are fun this one stands out because you are not limited to one painting. To be honest, I found that a bit confusing when I tried to sign up because it is not what I am used to but once we got there I was excited to pick my own. You can literally paint whatever you want but if you are like me and need to see something to visualize it there are paintings on the walls and photo albums to look through to help give ideas. You do not have to paint the same thing as other people that you came with either. This is really nice if you live with that person because then you don't have two of the same painting hanging up. You are given as much or as little help with the painting as you want. The owner was extremely friendly and personable. She had conversations with us about more than just the painting. I do want to mention that we had trouble finding this place at first. Keep your eyes peeled for the sign because it is not super noticeable unless you are really looking. We will definitely be returning! read more

What a great evening!~ Spent the evening with good friends at A Painting We Van Gogh this past weekend. Had such a wonderful time. Thank you Monique! What makes this place so unique is the quaint and cozy atmosphere as well as Monique's direction and help with our painting. While the other places require everyone to paint the same image, at the instructor's pace, Monique allowed us to pick a couple of designs and spent time coaching us on our individual paintings. We were so pleased with the experience, that we are planning to come back with a bigger group! You will not be disappointed! Thank you again Monique! read more

Just left and Monique was fantastic! We had so much fun. This is a wonderful place to enjoy some quality time with a loved one or a group of friends. It was only my daughter and I there tonight on a Tuesday evening. She gave us instructions to accomplishing our painting and didn't hover over us but if we needed instructions she gave them to us. Did not force us to do the painting that was on the schedule for this evening(Even though we did cause we loved it). Can't wait to do my next painting on my next trip back to San Antonio! read more

A Painting We Van Gogh - Beautiful work and much easier than you think! Thanks again Monique - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Monique taught me how to paint! It was my first time painting since kindergarten, and my girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here. She had a couple other people there as well, and even though our slot was from 7:30 - 9:30, she stayed until we were finished at 10 PM! She is incredibly patient, sweet and talented! I will definitely find myself back here at some point in the future. read more

A Painting We Van Gogh - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Place was a sauna..sweating all the time. No supervision nor teaching whatsoever. Asked if we had a painting in mind which i thought they would show you how to paint and provide the painting but I was wrong. I guess it makes a difference when we are individuals rather then a group party. Terrible terrible place and outside of San Antonio. Not worth the long drive. Would of gone to Michaels across my house and gotten canvas and colors and stayed at a cold home. read more

This was so fun! Very nice encouraging environment. They allow you to be free with colors and resources. I will definitely visit this place again. read more

Recently had my birthday party here and Monique was very accommodating to all the guests. She made sure everyone was able to paint what they wanted and assisted us all on our masterpieces. We had a great time and Love this place!! read more

We booked ahead of time & I was emailed asking to reschedule due to a party growing...I questioned why should we be moved if we has booked ahead of time...We told them no & we're told well there might be over flow...if i had known i had to look at a painting & guide myself i would of stayed home & save money. We had to get our own paint several times, no guidance only a once in oh hey your still here...I always go to painting with a twist and today proved why...and let me finish with the fact it was COOLER outside...as in Texas HEAT was cooler than the building itself...avoid if you can read more

I made a reservation for class via website & received a text message stating my calendar request had been received & we were added to the class. After receiving confirmation, I sent a text to the phone number on website asking a few questions so we would be prepared. Approximately 2 hours before class was to begin, I received a reply to my text telling me the class was full & I'd have to select a different date. I questioned why the website would allow a reservation when the class was full, she responded with "it's an automatic calendar & it doesn't know when she marks the class as full." I told her it was poor business practice to use a tool she KNEW didn't work & that I had been warned by others about this. She became incredibly offensive! She stated she NEVER had a bad review. I told her my warnings/reviews were by word of mouth and again she said, "I doubt this as I only receive compliments." (ummm see previous review!) She resorted to name calling when all I did was question why I would be allowed to schedule a reservation, even receive confirmation that we were registered, and provide my negative feedback over my personal experience while sharing with her that I had been warned about using this company. I was straight forward with my feedback. I told her as a business owner I would want BOTH positive & negative feedback so I could grow & improve my business when needed. When I told her I would be sharing my experience by writing a review (so I could help someone else avoid this mistake) she accused me of threatening her. I fail to see how I could "threaten" her by simply advising I would be writing a review??? I wonder if she made the same accusations against the person who wrote the previous review? I had read the previous review from 8 months ago stating the website was difficult to use to schedule an appointment and I still chose to schedule an appointment via the website as it is easier for me. I would have thought after 8 months, this problem would be corrected! I was told we were "removed" from the class because she didn't have enough canvasses. After sharing my negative feedback, she offered us the option to keep reservation & use a canvas 1/2 the size of the regular canvas while still charging full price. What a bargain that offer was, ha! Between the lack of interest in updating the website & not having the proper supplies NEEDED, leads me to believe she has no concern about customer experience. This is merely my opinion. After my interaction with the owner I would NEVER conduct business with her. Again, this was my personal experience & felt it needed to be shared to help others avoid the same situation. I would like to point out that there are a LOT of these classes offered throughout the city and I highly recommend using a different company, one who cares about their customers. I hope this review will help others avoid this same terrible experience. read more

Not very happy but two star as this was partly my fault so can't give one star. Bought a Groupon last year but in the week I planned to use it we needed to go out of town unexpectedly. Forgot about it until January with Thanksgiving, Christmas et al. Groupon reminded me to use it in January so tried to make a booking but website very difficult to use esp. from cell phone so gave up. Today I tried to make a reservation (1 day before expiry on January 23rd) but they are closed Sunday and Monday, which is fine of course. I booked a class for the following week and emailed to ask if Groupon would be honored. I was advised to provide the date I bought the Groupon (not sure how this is relevant) so I called Groupon to obtain this. I was then emailed back with a resounding no and was accused in effect of being stupid to wait until the last minute and this is why it wouldn't be accepted. As a small independent I would expect better, especially as if this was accepted I would have given glowing reviews and word of mouth I am sure. read more

A Painting We Van Gogh - Not today despite the response to my review. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We've all been to a painting party of some point by now, right? A Painting We Van Gogh with Monique was my favorite that I've been to! Her shop is so cute and cozy. It doesn't feel chaotic like some of the others do. It just feels homey. Most of the time, you spend weeks trying to wait until a painting you want is the one for the night you want to go. That's not how its done here. We sat down and she gave us a book of paintings to choose from. I was shocked. What? We get to pick? Awesome! Then, instead of painting along with us, guiding us stroke by stroke of the brush, Monique told us how she painted the example, and left us to be creative on each layer. At each step, she was available for advice and guidance, but wasn't standing over us critiquing. I think we were harder on ourselves! At the end, we were left with a beautiful two-part painting that you can see our distinct personalities through, some some cookie cutter color by numbers. We can't wait to go back! read more

This company is amazing! I am Parent's Events Chairman for my sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha and she hosted Moms' Day for us and she did such a great job! She drove to campus, brought all of the supplies, and lots of helpers so I didn't have to worry about setting up at all. We had to split between two rooms because we had 99 girls in attendance and she did a GREAT job at accommodating everyone. She let me pick the painting and did such a great job. My entire sorority had an amazing time, I got so many compliments. Highly recommend using this company for travel events. It was amazing, loved it!! read more
