A few weeks ago, JenniSixx and I spent the afternoon at
In one word, it was AWESOME.
We had so much fun. Although, it was a bit
nerve-wrecking for first time painters, like ourselves,
but oh what a blast we had.
We picked the class that was painting this picture below.
It's the bridge over the frog pong in the public gardens.
How pretty is it?

The instructor was so fantastic.
She was so friendly,helpful and positive.
She kept telling us to breath and just have fun.
I will be honest, I struggled and at one point, almost got up and left.
I had made a mistake on the bridge and I thought I was going to cry.
However, the instructor knew I was upset and came right over to help me correct it.
Honestly, she made all the difference in the world.
I wanted my painting to come out perfect.
It didn't but that's ok.
It was such a fun thing that
I can't wait to do it again.
Next time, I will relax more.
Well, I will try.
They have a bar which sells adult beverages and snacks.
A joke is the more you drink, the better your painting will be.
They also let you bring in drinks from outside.
However, you cannot bring adult beverages in
as that is actually against the law.
as that is actually against the law.
The class is 2.5 hours but you do get a 15 minute break.
Time flew by as you were painting.
If you are in the Boston area, you totally should check this place out.
It's so much fun.
They also have locations in Newton and in Falmouth.
Visit, The Paint Bar for more information.
Have you been to a paint bar??
Let me know, I love hearing from you!

I would so love to do one of these classes, they seem like such fun!! The paintings came out great!
ReplyDeleteI'm thoroughly impressed!! I've been wanting to do something at the Paint Bar for the longest time!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteI've never done this, but I'm always baffled when I see everyone's end results. They always look really good, no matter whether or not the person is artistic! I just feel like if I did it I'd be the first person ever to have a really awful one hahaha.
ReplyDeleteThis places looks so fun!!!! That Boston waterfront picture is gorgeous! I always see people taking the painting classes at sips and strokes and stuff around here but never consider going myself. Maybe I should look in to it!
ReplyDeleteI love painting classes! They are so fun & really fun to do with a group :)

I did one of these in NYC but they didn't let you bring anything in (food or drinks). I want to go to one that is BYOB, but the classes fill up so fast! I'm glad you stuck it out- everyone's comes out so different, but I definitely don't think yours came out bad at all!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! I've always wanted to try out one of those painting classes :)
ReplyDeleteso cool! I always see these and want to try them myself but have yet to. Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, how fun is this!! I think it would be great fun to do something like this. And good job!

I think it came out great! I get stressed with those kind of things too. The perfectionists in us I guess.
