Canvas Paint and Wine, Oh My

We went to the Sam Clemente studio
Sarah is awesome and an amazing artist her personal works are beautiful .
We loved the greatly detailed instruction. I love my Hawaiian Sunset painting.
You might beware of getting hooked on painting

I’ve never been good at drawing, painting, or even writing for that matter, I hated art. I skipped art class in school and the teachers even agreed that I was not that good at it, but I just went to Sarah’s class in HB last night and it was GREAT!!! Wine, beer, whatever you want to drink while you paint… AMAZING! Sarah makes it SUPER SIMPLE and keeps an eye on the class the whole time giving you tips. I never thought I could do any kind of art but I really amazed myself. I will be taking more of Sarah’s classes and will have to open up my own gallery sometime in the future with all my masterpieces! =) Thanks Sarah for a fun night and teaching the unskilled people like me.

Went to this with a friend and it was just okay… I’ve been to a similar event called Paint Nite in LA that was much better. The atmosphere at this one was lacking and the actual painting wasn’t anything to brag about. The art is so-​so (looks like an 8^th grader did it) and so is the Host.
Be clear, I’m comparing it to another company so my expectations were already set.
It wasn’t bad it just wasn’t as good as the other company in LA.

Where do I begin?! It was a FUN experience from beginning ’til end! Sarah, thank you so much for having an incredible amount of patience :)
We had Sarah come out to our office and she took care of everything! I will definitely spread the word and have her do a «Girls Night In» for my friends & I in the near future.

I had so much fun with Sarah!!! She came to our office for a retirement party we planned for our boss as something different. We had a blast and Sarah helped us along the way. She helped match the colors and guided us to create a perfect work of art that we can be proud of!!!
I would highly recommend her to friends that want to find their inner Picasso!
Thanks again Sarah, we enjoyed it tremendously!!!

I have never seen every skeptic in the room eat their words and bow down before. Yes… my friends. who were so reluctant to join me in this fun new experience were kickin and screamin to come.
-«I can’t draw!»
-«My painting will just be stick figures!»
— «We’re not into art!»
Well, finally, after some goading and convincing, they succumbed and agreed to come.
We got to the restaurant around 6:30 so we were able to catch the tail wind of Happy Hour. I would highly suggest ordering a round of drinks (just to relax any skeptic you migh have with you) and some $ 1 tacos. At 7pm, when everyone else shows up, they’ll start serving everyone the appetizers (which consists of some flat bread pizza and some deep fried chicken chunks coated with BBQ sauce. meh), and pouring you a glass of wine. I do not suggest getting too tipsy (wait, what? don’t drink? Huh??) Trust me. You want steady hands for the painting part!).
If you parked at the meters, there is a 10 min break so you can feed your meters if you need to.
The instructor Sara gives you really easy instructions to follow. She will make sure your mixed paint is the correct hue. She will break down the hard parts of the painting into simple instructions that any 5 yr old can understand. Actually, I think 5 year olds are probably better painters than adults since that’s their trade right? Drawing cute little pictures for mommy n daddy?
At the end of the class, everyone, and I mean everyone, had a painting they were proud to hang on their wall. Totally totally recommend for a fun time!
P. S. The North Shore Poke Co is next door! Grab a poke bowl before you start class!

Our indian guides tribe did this as a father-​son event last year, and it was really cool. I’m not gifted artistically (and my son is only 6) but by the end of the event we had created something worthy of hanging on my office wall. I was impressed because I didn’t think either of us could create something like that.
The gal running it provides everything– just wear some old clothes if you are a little careless with the paint brush (or you are sitting next to a 6 year old).
We had a big group and I think just about everyone was proud of their creations. Highly recommended, especially for non-​artists.

This is the best painting class I have ever taken! It is easy step by step instructions that anyone, experienced or not, can follow along. No matter how old or young you are you will have an absolute blast with this class! I have already taken the class twice and I plan to do it many more times. Thank you for such a fun time each and every time!

I have heard about this place before and when a groupon deal came out i decided to give it a go. Boy am I glad I did! I went with a friend and we had an amazing time. The class is about 3 hours long and starts off with a glass of wine and a bunch of appetizers to share with the other people at your table. You can purchase more wine or drinks too. We went on a Wednesday and the bottles of wine were half off, LOVE!
The instructor was amazing and very patient. The paintings turned out great! Definitely going back soon. She also does private parties, which I’m going to have to try out. Would highly recommend trying this out. Great for a date or a girls night out!

I had never taken a painting class before, and I came home with a great painting! Sarah did great and I had a ton of fun. She also bought us lunch!

Great fun and a great value. I got rave reviews on my pictures. It was so fun I have done it twice and I can’t wait to go back again.
A great deal since appys and a glass of wine are included

Such a fun time! Went with girlfriends and laughed so hard the whole time! For 35 you get the canvas, paint, teachers (and aids!)and aprons! Awesome deal and a really great time. It was fun to try something new and come out with a great product with Great memories! My painting was a masterpiece to the stick figures I’m
Used to drawing! Very fun:) definitely going back! Everyone was super helpful and laughed with us!

Loved this class and idea! I have never even held a paintbrush (aside from the paint by numbers water color brushes from childhood) and my painting turned out awesome! It was so much fun, the instructor was great! You got to drink wine, have appetizers, socialize and learn how to paint… turned out to be a great day! I highly recommend checking this out!

Came here with my wife on a Wednesday night. I was very skeptical since I don’t have an artistic bone in my body. However Sarah made the art of canvas painting very approachable. My wife enjoyed it so much she has already purchased another session. Classes tend to run a little long, so be sure to factor that in if you’re planning anything afterward. Overall a great experience and excellent instructor.

Absolutely amazing!!! All around, the best Friday night in 10 girls could ever have! We did the at home wine and paint party, and I’ve got to say it was a blast… and my new painting looks great!!! She walks you through every step :) Can’t wait to try another one!!! Thanks soooo much!

Great outing for date night and an opportunity to create art work worthy to hang in your home! My wife signed us up for a Wednesday session. I was skeptical because I lack any creative or artistic bones in my body. However, I had an awesome time and a semi-​decent canvas to show for it. It took me about halfway into the session to appreciate that, as a first timer, I wasn’t going to be perfect and capture all of the details. So, I let go and really enjoyed the learning process. Sarah is exceptionally patient and effective teacher. Her personality and skill made all the difference. I highly recommend.

What a great way to relax and enjoy an evening or an afternoon and be «artistically» productive. Have a leisurely glass of wine, some piping hot Italian appetizer fare and get thorough and fun painting instruction from a very positive and talented teacher! Then to top it off you walk out with your own completed masterpiece. I’ve taken two classes now and will be back for more… keep up the good work Sarah!

I went by to see a friend and the next thing I knew, I was sitting ready to paint!!! Food was great, Wine was yummy and best of all I had a GREAT time creating a piece of art. The step by step was very easy to follow and Sarah is a great teacher and very patient. Not being an artist by any means I had a great, relaxing time! WIll definitely be back for more!!!

This was such a fun class! My friend and I got an extra bottle of wine ourselves before the class started (the Riesling and the Chard are pretty yummy and are on special on Wednesdays, same night as the painting class). The food was good, the company was great and Sarah is AWESOME at explaining step-​by-​step how to paint. I love painting, but haven’t done it in a while, so I was a little nervous that I wouldn’t do well. But I really loved how my painting turned out and I truly enjoyed my time. I actually loved it so much that I did a private painting session with my mom and some friends at my home. I definitely will be back to Lugatti’s for the Wednesday night class!
