What makes The Paintbrush a unique venue to try out BYOB ART and Wine:
1. Our location is an actual operating art studio rather than a noisy crowded venue, bar or restaurant.
2. Our classes are instructed by an art educator and artist who offers perspective on artists’ backgrounds and historical art movements during the class.
3. Although it is a guided class based on a singular painting, the emphasis is on creative expression with/through an introduction to basic techniques. Everyone’s painting should be different and uniquely theirs instead of identical to the teacher’s or to each other’s.
4. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill paint-by-numbers class, this is an art experience!
5. You’ll come away from this class saying, “I did this!”
 
This is the kind of class that you’ll want to come back and do again. Every painting has a different focus.
 
“I liked how the instructor encouraged everyone at the beginning of the class to use their own colors and to not be afraid of making mistakes. Awesome class!” -Stephanie Sullivan
 
“I came with a group of my friends not knowing what to expect. I’m so proud of my painting! I went out and bought a set of paints!” – -Jennifer Coolidge 
 
“Very laid back and unlike the other classes I’ve taken with my wife, I learned a little bit of Art History. I really enjoyed it, there’s no pressure to be perfect.” -Mateus Unger
