I have taken several classes with Catherine, a drawing class, and a watercolor painting class…read more Both classes were well run, informative, and enjoyable. As someone without a great deal of artist talent Catherine's warm and encouraging style allowed me to feel comfortable exploring and creating. Some of the other students in the class were very talented artists. The supportive atmosphere she creates in her classes allowed me to benefit from the techniques she shared with them rather than feeling intimidated. I highly recommend trying one of her classes no matter what your level of experience or talent.

Our students learn traditional techniques with graphite pencils, colored pencils, watercolor and acrylic paints to illustrate portraits, landscape, animals, still-life, and abstract subjects. Classes are capped at 8 seats, so we can provide individualized attention. Located in New Bedford's longest-running artist community, we often take field trips to visit the professional creators who work in our building. Our year-round schedule includes after-school, weekend, school vacation, and summertime hours. Many students attend the school for years, often returning as teaching assistants once they age out of the program.

Such a fun spot right in the heart of downtown New Bedford! I have been a DIY paint venue fanatic…read morefor probably ten years. I booked a day with my niece for the Hocus Pocus painting as a way to spend time together. The venue is right near some fantastic restaurants and parking is easy to find. We arrived and got checked in. Some late comers caused a late start, but we didn't have any timeframe to abide by. The host of the paint day, Bridget, put on Hocus Pocus to have in the background while we painted! She was very organized and gave very clear instructions. We had a great time and I think this is one of my favorite painting venues. It is BYOB for those who are of age, and just remember that anything you bring in must be consumed by the end of the paint event. If you love painting events like I do, or you've never tried one before like my niece, I highly recommend Painting at Splash in New Bedford!
