Frequently Asked Questions
Should I be worried that I don't have artistic talent?
We like to call it Fun Art instead of Fine Art. So, no worries! Our artist will guide you step-by-step through the featured painting and will ensure that you stay on track to complete your masterpiece by the end of class. Don't hesitate to ask for help, we are here for you! Our goal is to offer you an exceptionally fun night out! Although, many of our artists have degrees in art and are professional teachers, we are not an art school.
What if my painting looks nothing like the example?
