My friend and I did a BYOB painting class here & I was a little skeptical at first. It wasn't a fancy place and there was a lot of art on the walls. My first thought was "oh god they're going to tell us paint whatever you want" and that's not what I was looking for - I expected more of a paint by numbers and was a little dismayed when I got a blank canvas! Felipe was our instructor and he made me feel totally at ease. He had a great personality and awesome sense of humor. He was totally accommodating of my ADD (The class can be a little slow at times) and encouraged me to get really creative with my artwork. We had such a fantastic time! I would totally recommend this to anyone who is just looking for something fun to do or someone who needs a good stress reliever. I personally am a fan of coloring to relieve my stress but this is definitely a much better and more fun option in my opinion, especially because there's alcohol involved! I will be coming back for sure! Thanks Felipe for being amazing!!! (I saw some of his personal artwork that he had on his phone and he is quite the phenomenal painter, not just some random dude they hired to teach the class). read more

BF and I decided to do a date night that was a little different and that didn't involve drinking-whoops. Booked a BYOB painting class on a Saturday and it was hilarious. We ran into a few snags at first because we Googled the address and it took us to a completely different place than the address that the Groupon listed. Good thing we checked-we were about to go knock on a random person's apartment door. We actually showed up to the studio early even with the delay, and that doesn't seem to be the trend. The other people in our party came a bit late because they had been pregaming a bit and the other 6 decided not to show at all. About 30-40 minutes after the official start time, Felipe decided to actually start the painting-and it's a good thing that he didn't wait for the rest of the class to show up. We wanted to paint a sailboat that we saw on the wall, but evidently since he was so sick of doing that particular one we played a little bit of improv. There was definitely people on the other side of me who ended up accidentally drinking their paint water instead of their wine and dunking their paintbrushes in wine. Having wine in cups instead of wine glasses (and next to paint water cups) is dangerous while drinking. We had a blast, Felipe is awesome and was drinking right along with us. He's very talented and clearly has fun doing what he does. The studio does adult parties with booze as well as a lot of parties for kids as well. I think this is an awesome way to relax and create something, even if you think you're not artistic. It's amazing to express yourself. Even if it ends up being an abstract. read more

It was a great time. Perfect if you are looking for a date with your spouse or significant other.. for us it was the first time doing this and we love those 2.5 hours, painting! You don't need to bring any material the academy provides all. If you want you can bring your wine and drink while you paint. read more

First time doing a painting BYOB and it was definitely a lot of fun. Our party was a little late, because the GPS had led us in the wrong direction, but they were very generous and waited for us. I had also brought some moscato, but silly me, I forgot the cups and bottle opener. however, they were very prepared and had a wine opener and cups. Thank you! I bought a Groupon for 4 people and it was definitely worth it, because the price per person was $45. Melissa was our instructor and she was very sweet. Just a couple of suggestions to make the experience a little better. There were a lot of people and only one instructor and one helper so it can definitely get a little crazy, which is understandable. I would recommend maybe setting up all the paint colors ahead of time, to save some time, because throughout the class they kept going around filling our paint. As for the painting part, it would have helped if we went through each part step by step and the instructor would show us how to do it. For us left brainers, we need a more methodical way of learning to do new things. I know we're trying to tap into that creative side and we can add a couple of touches in the painting later, but a more step by step instruction definitely would have put me a little more at ease. I felt a little lost at certain points. Other than that great atmosphere, great music and nice group of people. read more

We had such a wonderful time at this painting class. Felipe was a great teacher and so much fun to work with. The class was great for a date or for a group of friends! Such better painting choices than the generic ones out there (and better end result). It's good for all levels of experience. The end product is wonderful and the night was so much fun. Great music while painting. Bring food and drinks and enjoy! Thanks Felipe for a great painting class experience. read more

The place was closed even though their website said they would be open on this specific Saturday for a family arts day.

I recently celebrated my birthday here. The owners were so accommodating, organizing my party was a breeze. The space was cozy, the music was perfect. We all had such an amazing time that everyone plans returning for another class. Felipe, our instructor, was nothing more than stellar. This is hands down a must for anyone looking to create wonderful memories and beautiful art. read more

Worst Place for a party! All the parents will hate you when their kids' clothes are ruined. They assured me the paint was washable and would not stain and did not provide aprons for the kids. Nothing washed off and when I called to complain, Alicia dismissed me. The party supervisor even ruined my clothes by using a 'splattering' technique on every kids painting and 'splattering' me in the process. read more
