Thank you Flying Colors and Artist Sarah Wax! I had a great time painting with you tonight! As the instructor, Sarah was engaging, relaxed, and helped guide us through the different visions we all brought to our creations! My finished painting is a good size - 16x20 acrylic on canvas. I can't wait to see what the Nov/Dec sessions hold.

I like this place cause they have nicer themes to paint, instead of being so generic and kid-ish like the two bars around here always pick the same lady and I would like to do different paintings then the generic kid like holidays, sometimes it’s OK but not all the time she needs to do a basic sunset or sunrise…

Been here a few times. The instructor is always sooo nice, knowledgeable and makes the class fun and easy to follow. It would be cool if some horror them paintings were offered now and then especially in the October/Halloween season. Love that you can bring up ur own drinks. They are fully prepared with bottle…
