Just reflecting back to the fabulous paint and sip party we had at AMLI Marina Del Rey! It was A resident event that AMLI sponsored-a couple months ago ~ and it was awesome! The evening was so fun, so memorable, and educational. Heather Clark, our instructor, was a class act. She was swift, savvy, and an artistic creative genius. I learned so much and had a blast all the while. Thank you "AMLI" and thank you "paint and sip studio LA." You rock!!! read more

Singed up for paint and sip, with instructions of do not byob. Only sip they provide was 1 bottle of 16oz water. Painting porting and instructor was not an issue, but highly disappointed in the lack of the sip portion or service. The price of the class was way too much for just a painting class. I will never use this studio class again. read more

My work provided this as a Zoom event. It was so much fun. It was my first paint and sip event. The moderator was fun and corky. Would definitely recommend this fun. It's great for beginners, too like me. read more

I was looking for a fun, unique adult activity for my birthday that wasn't just a dinner where everyone would be busy figuring out the check at the end of the meal. The paint and sip concept has been around for a while, but I didn't realize how many of my friends hadn't experienced one before, so I decided to go for it. I am SO happy to have chosen Paint & Sip LA for my event -- Brandon was absolutely lovely from start to finish. His communication was superb and he was just a joy during the instruction, engaging each and every one of my guests on a personal level. I realized that many adults don't really get a chance to just sit down and engross themselves in their creativity very often, and doing so with friends and a drink in a safe (inoculated!) environment is such a fun way to do so. I was so impressed with everyone's tiger paintings at the end. I'll definitely be reaching out to Brandon again for future events. I have bunnies and I'm prettyyy sure I need a painting of them. read more

Love love love Brandon's Paint and Sip Lessons. He is personable and connects with each person even though it was through Zoom. He drops off the supplies a few days before the event. It included all paints, the canvas, an easel, brushes, a plastic apron and cup. You just supply your beverage of choice! My bestie treated me to this event for my birthday. She asked which painting I would like to attempt. I chose a psychedelic sunflower in a starry night. Everyone experienced success! He will teach private events too the group right before us wanted to do a portrait of Civil Rights activist John Lewis. Another successful night for all! read more

I'm always looking for fun and exciting things to do on date night with The Mr. I found this Paint & Sip Studio on Groupon and got an extra 25% discount. We had the best Instructor, she took her time explaining each step and came buy to see if we had any questions. She had the most amazing bubbly energy! She encouraged us to make the painting our own as opposed to paining it exactly like the picture. The rest of the group was super fun! Note: There is plenty of metered parking right outside. read more

Wonderful BYOB social painting experience with Lisa, who instructed us to paint a cool Starry-Night inspired landscape of Downtown LA. The venue was awesome, a tiny non descript studio on the second floor of a mixed use building along La Brea. When you walk in the walls are painted with the names of previous guests. I loved the small class size -- only 24 people, and probably only 2 empty seats -- which made for a more casual, relaxed environment where it was more natural to talk to your neighbors. I've been to paint nights where there is double the size and it feels like you're in a class and it's hard to see the instructor's painting. Not so here, as the intimate size was great and we could easily follow our instructor's steps and see her work (both in progress and the finished one for reference). It also is fun to see everyone's paintings around you -- surprising how each one is very uniquely different! -- without having to get up and roam the room. The best part of Paint and Sip was that it was bring your own bottle of wine (plastic cups and opener provided), which meant you could truly personalize your experience with your favorite beverage and drink at your leisure without racking up a big booze tab. Many people also brought snacks, cheese, fruits to eat with their wines. Very cozy and welcoming environment! In addition, we also got a free passes to an upcoming advanced film screening with swag -- a nice bonus! I would definitely recommend Paint and Sip! read more

We had such a wonderful time with Heather. She was amazing and so much fun!!!!! She was so encouraging and made everyone feel like their picture was so beautiful. She wanted each person to be happy with the end results and helped with ideas and techniques. From the time I booked the event to when it was finished everything went smoothly. Brandon's follow-up with me was just perfect. It made our Team Building Day a success!!!!! read more

Thank you to Brandon and Tamara for helping me celebrate my birthday! This was such a fun and unique experience for my guests and I. If you have been looking to have this kind of event....look no more and book them! Brandon was very friendly; made the booking process so easy and answered all of my questions. Tamara was a gem, she was our instructor the day of the event and she was the absolute nicest. So friendly and patient (for a bunch of adults who can't paint lol). It felt like we had known Tamara for a long time and a friend was teaching the class. if i could give them more than 5 stars I would...I will continue to book this studio for future events without hesitation. read more

I came here with my GF for a date night. We purchased tickets online for the Starry Night by Van Gogh. Since it is a really popular painting, the event did sell out. Thursday nights its 2 for 1 so it is a bargain! The event started at 730pm and my GF and I were running a little late due to traffic. We got there at around 745pm and luckily they were still waiting for some people to arrive. Brandon - the instructor - was really friendly and kind upon arrival. Brandon is a great instructor and very patient. He guides you step by step on how to make your painting look good. If you are a beginner, don't be afraid since the entire class was as well! Brandon checks on everyone and gives detailed step by step instructions. You will be amazed on how well your painting turns out! This event is BYOB. Bring your own wine and Brandon will supply you with clean glasses to sip on - or chug. I also saw some people bringing beer as well. Definitely coming back! read more

I had the pleasure of visiting paint & sip a few weekends ago. I have seen friends post about paint and sips before. For this particular group outing, it was my sis in laws baby shower and the avenue was actually perfect for the get together. There is a small area in front where the girls set up some food and displays of cute pastries so they are pretty lax and accommodating for your event. We obviously only sipped on non alcoholics, though for myself I should have snuck a bottle of wine, I'm sure some of the other non preggos would have appreciated it haha!! The painting itself looked tough and we were wondering how we would finish in about two and a half hours. Brandon was our instructor and he did a great job of giving us step by step guidelines on how to paint the portrait. He was pretty funny and I was pretty impressed at how well he handled such a big group of us. We had the baby shower on a Sunday afternoon so it actually worked pretty well. Parking is free and I'm sure any other day would be tough to find because of restricted meter hours and anti gridlock zones. The painting ended up being pretty easy to paint with the instructions and it's always cool seeing how everybody creates art differently. Great for big groups and small! read more

This has got to be one of the best experiences I have had in a long time. The small, 24-artist studio was easy to find and there was plenty of metered street parking. We opted for the $6 lot next to the studio. My party was a group of 10 people celebrating two birthdays. We had two medium-sized trays of food and several bottles of wine ~ oh and two dozen mini cupcakes. Brandon was awesomely accommodating and so very nice to all of us. He's got such a mellow spirit. Not one of us could paint our way out of a paper bag to save our lives. However, with Brandon's kind, patient, gentle and precise instructions, you couldn't TELL us we were not Kara Walker, Georgia O'Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, Grandma Moses...okay...maybe not Grandma...but you get my drift. We painted while listening (and singing) to a wonderfully eclectic soundtrack he had playing. All I can say is that we walked away buzzed...ahem, high, errr - elated on that feeling of accomplishment you get when you do something you never thought you had the talent to do. We still don't have the talent...but Brandon made us look we do. We plan to do this again. read more

This place is pretty nice. Its BYOB and you can actually relax while enjoy the painting. The music they played was also really nice. The instructor (Brandon) is super friendly and also cares about students. He would walk here and there to pay attention to everyones process. -The parking was street parking, takes my bf a while to find a spot. -They prepare glasses for your wine which is pretty nice I really enjoy the experience. Nice wine, Nice music and Nice painting experience. Noted you might have to book online ahead since popular classes usually got packed easily. read more

Paint and Sip Studio LA - Paint & Sip Near Me

My 3rd time visiting Paint and Sip LA. It's a casual instructed paint activity - where and instructor guides you through a model painting that you selected for the appointment. With Trader Joe's down the street, you could pick up a bottle of wine and snacks to enjoy while you create your master piece. It's a nice activity, perfect for date nights or a hang out with friends - different than a typical movie night. Book your appointment online - based on the painting you want to recreate. They usually have specials on their website -- ranging from $25-$40 per person. They also have private events. I went with my work group of 15 and we all had fun. Some painted "better" than others, but it was a great experience nevertheless. The last instructor I had was with Magnolia. She was super patient, kind and encouraging. I really enjoyed her presences. She made the experience super fun. Parking is a small challenge. Street parking is available -- but you do have to watch the meter, every hour. Try to Uber to the event, so you don't have to keep leaving to refill the meter. Importantly, good luck and have fun. I have been the four paint night events total, and it's fun to compare them -- I feel they capture the mood and environment of that moment they were painted. read more

I've attended painting classes here a few times (I have five paintings adorning my walls to prove it) and it's always such an excellent experience. I feel like a pro. As the name implies, you'll be painting and sipping on whatever BYOB that you bring in. The class size is fits 24, assuming it sold out, which is manageable enough for the instructors to go around and talk to everyone. Brandon and Lisa have instructed the classes I've attended and they're so great! They teach with such finesse and they're very helpful with any questions that the students may have. There are different painting options to choose from, so make sure to consult their calendar. Most recently, Lisa was teaching the class an abstract painting from her own repertoire and it was very fun. I think it was less intimidating for the first-time painters to attempt something abstract as the interpretation doesn't have to be so literal. A good ice breaker for those who are inexperienced. Whenever I want to get together with friends, I suggest a paint class. This is such a fun experience to share with friends, a loved one, a date, whomever, because what's more "let loose" than painting while having a few glasses of Cabernet? read more

Highly recommend Paint and Sip Studio LA! My husband and I attended our first virtual class earlier this week and had a fabulous time! Brandon did a fantastic job showing close-ups of what he was doing and made sure to engage with each of the participants. We will be doing more virtual classes in the future! read more

This was a great place for my first paint & sip experience! All you have to do is bring a bottle of wine (if you want!), and they provide everything else (cups, art supplies, etc.) Make sure to check the calendar on their website and book a week or two early - some of the classes definitely get booked up before the day of the event! My boyfriend and I came on a Wednesday night, and it was a bit cheaper than coming in for a Friday or Saturday class ($30 each, rather than $40). Our instructor was Magnolia and she kept things fun and provided us with different options in case we wanted to do something a little bit different than the provided example! The painting for that night was one of the Eiffel Tower, and mine turned out a lot better than I expected. All in all, it was a fun experience, and I'd be happy to do it again! read more

So my first time doing a paint and sip class was the virtual class on Valentines Day 2021. Brandon was great! He gave instructions and followed it up by helping everyone on an individual base as needed. The class (over zoom), was very interactive. The people that attended were great. I was at home, safely sipping on my beverage of choice (Patron), and painting. Here is a tip for the fellas. I booked this as 1 of the Valentines activities during these days we live in with COVID, I in turn got major creativity points. Brandon is a great wing-man! I will definitely take more of the classes with Brandon. The booking from start to finish was great also. I booked, they dropped of my supplies, I showed up on zoom and had the best time. Thanks again Brandon and paint and Sip Studios LA, for helping make my first Valentines with the most beautiful woman in the world a success. read more

Just fabulous! Brandon was the most engaging and enthusiast instructor you could hope for. You could tell this is his passion and connecting people through art genuinely brings him joy and thats a wonderful thing to witness and connect with. You can see what he is doing perfectly as he puts the finished product next to his blank canvas, both of which are in front of a black backdrop so everything is discernible. I HIGHLY recommend this as an in-house activity and will be taking another course soon! read more

Don't let your novice artistic skills deter you from experiencing Paint & Sip! At the very last minute, something came up and my friends and I weren't able to attend our class. Fortunately, Brandon was understanding and emailed us individually with a credit toward a future class. On our rescheduled Paint & Sip night, Mindy, our instructor, was great! Despite my non-existent talent, she was patient, detailed in her instruction and made us feel like we could (almost) replicate her painting. Brandon was also there and introduced himself to everyone in the room. I was very impressed with his dedication to delivering outstanding customer service, as well as Mindy's passion for creating art. One tip: There's street parking in the neighborhoods but make sure to leave adequate time to find a spot. TL;DR: Paint & Sip = Fun Times read more

Paint and Sip Studio LA - The beginning of our painting, "Dandelion Dream" - Paint & Sip Near Me

I went to an offsite event hosted by Paint & Sip studio (for $125 extra they will come to you, set up, and bring all the materials that you need, 15 person minimum) and the whole experience was amazing. We were lucky enough to have Brandon Pizzola, the owner of the studio, as our instructor. His dynamic personality was definitely a large part of what made the evening so fun. Definitely one of the best and most fun things you can do in LA for $35. I was initially worried because I lack any artistic skills, but laughing at ourselves and our attempt to paint was half of the fun (you recreate a painting, with step by step instructions from the instructor). The wine (studio is BYO) helped too. It's not as much about the painting as having fun with friends, so don't worry if you are not the most artsy person on the planet. Even if you end up throwing your painting away or hiding it in the closet, it won't take away from the fun that you have. This would be great for corporate events to promote team building and bonding, for a cute date night, birthday parties, or just something different to do with a friend. Can't wait to visit the studio! read more

We wanted to do something different for my sister's birthday so we settled on the Paint & Sip experience . It's fun and different and throughly enjoyed painting, sipping, and singing as our group insisted on singing every song on the teachers playlist. Tips.. -Arrive early as there are meters along La Brea so parking was no big deal - The Studio is upstairs and slightly hidden so look for the address which is huge on the building -Bring drinks, the teacher hard cups and opener if you forget - Be open to having fun and not trying to paint the perfect picture!! read more

La Creme De La Creme! What a wonderful experience! We booked Paint and Sip Studio LA for a 2nd grade virtual paint & sip party. Artist Brandon was so awesome with the children. Not only is he a gifted talent, he also has the gift of gab. He made a point to connect with each and everyone of our participants and effortlessly discussed art history, technique and steps with them in an engaging simplified fashion. This was my first time coordinating a paint & sip for children so there were a lot of unknown variables on my end but Brandon and his staff were so professional and so on point that he made it a virtual worry free process. I especially appreciate how Paint and Sip Studio LA offers to drop off every art kit in advance for a nominal fee. This is an excellent option for busy parents seeking enjoyable options for their children stuck at home waiting out a major pandemic. I look forward to doing business with Paint and Sip Studio LA again! read more

We had a great time during our Sip and Paint. Tamara was awesome and super nice. The whole process from booking to the cleaning was so easy and smooth. Tamara was able to add one more person literally at last minute with no problem. I will definitely be down to book again. Thanks Brandon for the quick replies and assistance. Thanks Tamara for an awesome fun experience. Definitely down to book again. read more

I love love love this company! I've painted in other studios before, but this is the best one! Brandon traveled to my home for a private paint party and he was very accommodating about the space + lighting we had. Brandon is also very passionate about his work so it was great being taught and encouraged by him. Everyone had a great time as he is also very engaging! My husband and I will definitely be booking paint & sip for our future paint parties!! read more

PAINT YOUR PET!!! Had such an amazing time at Paint & Sip! Not your typical paint nite, you paint a picture of your own pet! A lot harder also! They said it was one of the hardest paint event things you could do. It cost $45 (you cannot use the Groupon promo). BYOB wine and food, no restrictions! They only do about 12 paintings for this event. Usually on Sunday in the afternoon. Street parking is free. Located on the second floor. Small sign so keep your eyes open. Paint room is really cute and I loved the names all over the wall. You email your pets picture ahead of the event. They sketch it for you and it is ready the day of. Brandon was our guide. He was super friendly and encouraging. I was a rookie and he was really helpful and did not make me feel insecure at all. Tips, make a lot of your base paint for your pet. Hard to get that color back after you start doing the fur. I messed up and wished I had more of my base to start over. Overall, great vibe, great music, SO FUN! Don't forget to sign the wall! read more

I wanted to host my birthday here and the entire process was nothing short of amazing. Brandon helped me to work out the logistics of my party and was very receptive, quick to answer, and detailed in his responses. He made me feel like he genuinely cared about making sure I had the best experience for my day. To rent out a studio, you have to have a minimum of 15 people (max 20). We had 18, and it worked out well! Our instructors name was Mindy and she is absolutely bomb! Me and my girls are a crazy bunch and love to dance and hype each other up, which can get loud at times. Mindy was totally fine with our extra-ness, and even joined in on the dancing once in a while, which we loved! Our paintings came out great and the ladies had an absolute blast. Thank you Paint & Sip LA! I had an awesome day. read more

I discovered my inner Picasso at Pain & Sip Studio. Well, I don't know about that but I did realize that I enjoy painting and am pretty anal about getting every detail correct. And my parents were so impressed with my creation of a lighthouse by the ocean that they put it up on their wall ( I sort of neglected to tell them that I was coached every step of the way during the painting process). Great place to celebrate a birthday with your friends! Bring some booze and a few appetizers AND your friends and its going to be a good night. Parking is $8 in the lot next door. read more

THis was my first time painting anything and I LOVED it!!! My friend and I had so much fun painting our masterpieces, lol. Lots of laughs and good times!! My friend had bought a groupon for this place and asked if I would go with her, sure why not. I didn't think I would have so much fun painting my Van Gogh painting. Our instructor, Brandon is so awesome!! He is very friendly and patience w/ the whole classes. He makes it fun and also tries to give individual attention to each person in the room. Everything is provided for you (paint, easles, aprons, & brushes) just bring the wine of your choice. I had so much fun that I am trying to get a group of my friends to go with me. Studio is small but it's perfect for having fun and painting!! read more

Awesome experience! I highly recommend for anyone who loves to drink wine and wants to explore their creative side. Paint and Sip Studio is a small, hip art studio in the La Brea District of mid city Los Angeles. Parking is difficult. But once you score a metered parking space and walk up to the vibrantly painted studio floor, you're in for quite a treat. "You bring a bottle and we'll provide everything else," is their motto. The studio staff will provide you with a bottle opener, cups, and for painting-an apron, paint brushes, acrylic paints, a canvas. Our instructor, Tamara, was fabulous. She was very welcoming and enthusiastic. Tamara made painting for a novice like me, easy and enjoyable. Throughout the class Tamara played great music. The music noise level was reasonable, never too loud. Plus she strategically turned the music volume up when she gave us extra time to work on our painting, and lowered the volume when she modeled painting techniques. Before you know it, 2.5 hours passes by and you'll complete your very own masterpiece (and a bottle or two of your favorite wine)! At the end of the class, Tamara thanked us for participating in the class. She also encouraged us to 'leave our mark" by painting our name on the vibrant art studio walls. This was my first painting class experience. Special thanks to Tamara for making it memorable. I look forward to a return visit! read more

Paint and Sip Studio LA - Sip your favorite wine, listen to amazing music and paint your own Picasso-an awesome 2.5 hr experience! - Paint & Sip Near Me

It was a really fun experience. It's a cute studio upstairs with great natural light. The teacher was really funny and put us all at ease (or maybe that was the wine. Or both). They provided glasses for the wine, bottled water for drinking, and music to listen to while we went to work on our canvases. The staff was really nice, and they always checked in with us to see if we needed anything like clean water for our brushes. I'd definitely go again! Also, the parking on the street is mostly metered, 2 hour parking, but the side streets are free to park! read more

Paint and Sip Studio LA - What more could you want? - Paint & Sip Near Me

For $20 with a deal, I wasn't expecting much. With the "low" expectations, I was still taken aback by the location. We went up this shady stairway that lead to about 4 doors. One was obviously a cute little barber shop. One was the restroom, which had a shower in it. I thought that was odd so I had to point that out in my review lol. Another door was labeled La Brea Club. I thought to myself, "This is some janky ass place to have a club.." but I soon realized it was a weed clinic basing it off the slight weed aroma floating around haha. Anyway back to my review, the class was very fun! It's BYOB. Glasses and painting supplies are provided. The class is 3 hours long. The instructor was full of energy and funny. He was able to keep us engaged the whole time! He was great at simplifying techniques so that we all look like we're somewhat artistic.. or maybe it was the booze making things look better. Not sure. You get to keep your beautiful work of art. I'm still trying to find someone that is willing to hang mine though :( I had a great time and Paint & Sip and would recommend anyone to give it a try! read more

Paint and Sip Studio LA - So it begins.. - Paint & Sip Near Me

Had a wonderful time painting the night away with friends! I LOVEEEEE that this place is BYOB and so conveniently located next to a Trader Joe's AND a Ralph's! My friends and I were considering going to a Paint Nite studio, but saw that Paint & Sip had much more interesting paintings as well as more available spots. We booked our tickets literally 4 hours before the class, and definitely did not regret the experience. Tammy was our teacher and she did a great job of instructing us! She was really helpful and definitely did not make me feel ashamed of my poor artistic abilities. Ambiance wise - it felt like a fun party. Everybody was chatting with their friends and there was pop music playing in the background, perfect for more artistic inspiration. And the space's walls were covered in writing from past attendees, giving the place a kinda hipster vibe that I was totally digging it! This place lacked A/C, but the heat was manageable - especially once you get super into your painting, and the music, and the great company! I definitely 100% am going to come back!! Free street parking after 6pm - just read the signs clearly! Or if you're extra worried, some of my friends parked at the Ralph's parking lot after making purchases there. Definitely recommend this for a date with your significant other or a fun night out with friends!! read more

Brandon is an great teacher and entertainer. I've been to Paint & Sip twice. Once because my friend had a groupon and once for a networking event (genius idea IWIRC social chair). Both visits were super fun! I hadn't taken a painting class since grade school, so I was intimidated at first. But Brandon gives you step-by-step instruction. The end product is terrific because it's my own creation. Both of my "masterpieces" are in my home. Great place for a group event or excellent date idea! read more
