Welcome to Painting Lounge! We are a BYOB Paint & Sip art studio in Midtown offering guided classes to people of all skill levels.

Painting Lounge classes are always in a relaxed, social setting. An experienced artist guides the class step-by-step through replicating each night's featured painting. The process is easy, fun and totally stress-free. All art supplies are included. Many attendees find our classes a therapeutic and convenient way to tap into their creative side.

Our classes are perfect for beginners, so grab your friends, co-workers, fly solo or plan a unique date night. We are happy to announce that we got a liquor license for our Midtown studio, so you can now BYOB (Bring Your Own Beer or Bottle of wine/champagne) to any class!

Painting Lounge, founded in Spring 2011, is an exciting and unique alternative to a typical night out with friends and coworkers.

Our experienced instructors will guide you step-by-step to complete your next masterpiece. No previous drawing or painting experience required, and canvases usually come with pre-sketched images, allowing students to dive right into the activity. We make it easy, fun, and totally stress free. By the end of the night you will be amazed at the work of art you have created.

The instructor was very enthusiastic. They broke the painting process down to manageable steps but also invited and encouraged creativity. This was great for creatives and people that can be intimidated by new experiences.

The subject was a little boring, but great atmosphere and fun to do.

This was a fun class - late to start because we were waiting ages for people to arrive (special snowflakes that ignore instructions to arrive 15 mins before class starts), but Tom was a great instructor and it was a laugh. My friend and I should have brought a second bottle with us - might have improved my painting! All in all, a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon and I will definitely be doing it again!

I would say that class was overall a good experience and I would do it again. With that said, it felt a little bit rushed and the instruction was also a little rushed through.

Tom was fantastially funny and excellent at explaining the rudimentary steps required to paint a gorgeous painting.

Chris was an amazing teacher, the perfect blend of laid back, be creative, Do-What-Moves-You with instructive, step-by-step, Here Is The Process. We came in with very different backgrounds in art and both had a blast! We loved that, even though the canvas itself started with a template, everyone's paintings ended up so different and unique. There is just enough room to be creative so that it doesn't feel like you're doing a paint-by-number but the structure is there so you're not having to wait to be struck by inspiration all on your own and fly blind with a paint set. No matter your skill level, we HIGHLY recommend this class if you're looking for something fun, different, and interesting - plus you get to keep the painting! Since we didn't need two of the same painting hung up at home, I decided to gift mine to a relative and the studio has frames right there for sale, and pretty dang cheap considering how much frames usually cost. We can't wait to find a new painting and come back. : )
