Paint and Sip Workshop: Midtown (BYOB)
Attended a paint and sip for the first time. It was such an amazing experience. I made the empire state with starry nights painting. It came out like a dream. The instructor KT was super knowledgeable, she made it look very easy. I appreciate the step by step guidance. Even though I paint as a hobby, i learnt couple of tips and would definitely recommend this class. Will try to come again! -
Paint and Sip Workshop: Midtown (BYOB)
This was way more fun than I was expecting. The instructor was laid back but very helpful. I really enjoyed the painting instruction and felt the guidance was very helpful and led to a much better outcome (picture) than I would have ever anticipated. -
Paint and Sip Workshop: Midtown (BYOB)
Alex was great! He had a good sense of humor and explained the steps of the painting clearly. We did have to rush a bit at the end to finish on time, which I think might have been in part because the painting was rather complicated with lots of details. If you're mostly looking to hang out and not focus intently on painting the whole time, I recommend choosing a class with a simple picture. I had fun even while going quickly though! :) -
Acrylic Painting for Total Beginners
Anjali was a great teacher and the class really allowed everyone to move at this own pace. Supportive, helpful and insightful. Appreciated it all. -
Paint and Sip Workshop: Midtown (BYOB)
This was so fun! I brought my friend and we love to do arts projects. We brought our own beer and had a great time. There was not a lot of time to sip our beer during the class but that’s because we were very focused on the artwork. If you are a little unfamiliar with painting I would say the pace of the instruction may be a little fast. But I am already excited to come back. -
Open Studio
This was a brilliant way to spend a Saturday! Melisse was terrific and the studio is cozy and had every type of material to dive into a day of creativity and calm. I will definitely be back -
Paint and Sip Workshop: Midtown (BYOB)
Overall, I like the course very much. It's affordable and located in the heart of Manhattan. The workshop itself feels very artsy, welcoming and comfortable. I also like that I can BYOB. The instructor is also very friendly and easy to interact with. All the supplies are provided to make for a very smooth experience. My only complaint is that the instructor is going a little too fast for me. Perhaps this course could benefit from a 30-minute extension? Overall, wonderful experience and I would definitely book again. -

This was a fun class in a warm and welcoming environment to artists at all levels. I do wish it was maybe about an hour longer, as it went by so fast and our instructor Kate had a lot to cover. Regardless, she was great! I only wish it were longer because I was getting really into it. I will definitely be back! -

Paint and Sip Workshop: Midtown (BYOB)
Decided to take this class solo for some weekday fun. Everyone was so nice and welcoming, after a while I was sipping my wine and chatting away, relaxed and painting my 'masterpiece'! Our teacher was particularly nice, she taught us all the basics, and then we were free to create as we pleased. She helped me mix some different colors because I didn't want to follow the color palette of the example piece and I was really pleased with how it turned out. I'm definitely no Monet but I had a fun night and would return with friends or even solo again! Highly recommend it. -
Paint and Sip Workshop: Chelsea (BYOB)
I had the best time in the Paint and Sip workshop! I went with my husband and another couple, and it was the perfect date night. We were able to chat and drink while painting, and it was super relaxing! We also had fun music playing in the background which created a really fun atmosphere for painting. We all got really into it, and still have the paintings hung up in our homes! I highly recommend this class. -
BYOB Painting: Starry Night (UWS)
We really had a great time. This was excellent!! Great environment and atmosphere. For our first time our paintings came out really nice.

Definitely looking forward into doing it again with a different painting next time. -
