Hands down she is better than my college art teachers. She's kind patient and willing to work with everyone at their skill level. I've been taking beginning drawing and water color. It's been a hot minute since I did drawing and I've never water colored before. In fact I only did black and white art until March when I started Water color. I share in Sasha's passion to create. I'm loving all I'm learning and sasha has created a little community in her studio with all of her students. It just feels so right to be there. We even get to be with the virtual learners during class. I encourage you to enter your child in anything sasha has. I also encourage the drawing class. Thins is an important class to go along with painting. It will actually enhance you paintings because we talk about light and shading. You are welcome to ask me anything. micjake@comcast.net. I guess the biggest take away is the cost. Sasha give a great price for all that she's teaching. Come explore with me or watch your child light up when they start using their creative side! It's magic! Enjoy your night. I hope to see you around at virtual or in person classes! If there is something you are interested in, sasha will find a teacher if she doesn't have the knowledge and she will provide the class for you!

Review is for a private party at a home - cannot comment on the store front…read more My sister-in-law had a portion of her bachelorette party at home and Painting Sensations did an at-home painting party. The bride picked the painting for the group which was a sunset with a palm tree. Larisa was very sweet and came early to my in-laws home to set everything up an hour or so before the party started. Larisa had an easy breezy attitude which I think helps with the pressure of others wanting to do a good job with their painting. She did a great job explaining how to paint our painting and was non-judgmental of everyone's work. She was also funny and personable - you can tell she is passionate about her business! The price was $35/person and the painting lasted 2 hours total. We all gave her cash. All the supplies were provided and all the ladies had a great time. Once our paintings were dry, Larisa took a picture of us and our creations.

You check out the calendar online, pick the painting class you'd like to attend, show up, and paint! They play some good music and the instructor paints along with you. This is not paint by numbers, or having a pre-sketched canvas. You sketch out your picture, and the insturctor teaches you how to paint! Classes last about 2 hours. You will be amazed at how much you can get done in 2 hours! They also have classes for Tots and Parents! This is a good time, and something totally different to do! Check it out!

I saw this place pop up in Berkley a few years ago and was intrigued. I don't consider myself an…read moreartist by any stretch of the imagination. I hadn't attempted anything creative since the last art class I had in grade school. But I was interested when I saw they offered a Zentangle class which promised the only artistic ability you needed was to draw a stick figure. I took the class and ended up really enjoying it. It is essentially structured, meditative doodling. I came back for several more Zentangle classes when I found it was a great way to relieve stress and get out of the rut of logical, left-brain thinking. I never intended to create great art, but rather to get in touch with the creative part of my brain and to enjoy the meditative qualities of creating art. But I enjoyed Zentangle so much that I eventually branched out and tried several other classes that included things like intuitive painting, sculpture, and traditional Japanese Sumi-e black ink painting. Each class was fun and informative, and I was surprised to find sometimes I actually liked some of the art I created, too, and not just the process. The owner, Debby, and the instructors have all been great. They clearly love helping people learn and get in touch with their creativity. Articipate offers a wide variety of events, classes and lessons. It seems like there is something for everyone - regardless of age and whether you consider yourself artistic or not. It seems like a glut of places have popped up in the past few years offering private "paint parties". I have been to a couple of those and while they can be fun, this place takes an approach that is much more fun and engaging than a one size fits all "paint by numbers" approach - regardless of artistic ability. I encouraged anyone interested to check out what they offer and let the friendly owner and instructors help you get in touch with your creative side.

Overall, it was an easy and enjoyable introduction to fluid art. My only small disappointment was the canvas tilting step where the instructor guided it closely instead of letting me do it fully on my own. It happened quickly, so I didn't speak up. While the piece turned out nice, it doesn't feel entirely like my own creation, so it's still sitting in a closet rather than being displayed. I'd still recommend it as a fun beginner experience, especially if you're new to fluid art.

All of the possible classes are listed in their website. I would be hard to pick a favorite class. Each of the classes is taught by a different artist or expert in that class. There are 2 different areas where the classes are taught one in the back and one in the middle section. The website has a description of each class that is offered as well as the requirements that you need to bring for the class. The ability to walk out with a project that you learned how to make is priceless. I highly recommend going to a class at My New Favorite Thing or just going shopping. Local artists each get a section to display. I will be going back for more projects.
