This was my first time doing a paint night, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Immediately from the beginning, Gary was welcoming, kind, and funny. He made the class feel fun and unlike a chore. I have never been much of a creative person so the guidance was extremely helpful and in the end I loved my piece! We absolutely loved this idea and will definitely be booking again.

Huge shoutout to Gary from Paint & Cocktails! He led our paint-and-sip team-building event and absolutely nailed it. The painting (Reflections) was a hit, everyone had a great time, and Gary made the whole experience feel easy, fun, and totally stress-free, even for the non-artists among us 😄 Highly recommend for a super fun team event!

We had a great time! The host (Greg, I believe) was extremely friendly, very funny, and made everyone feel very at ease. The painting process was very simplified, which is actually perfect. No super complicated art techniques or terms that would be hard to understand. It’s beginner friendly and very educational. Great for those who have never painted, haven’t painted in a long time, or paint frequently but might benefit from some new ideas, learning some easy tips and tricks, or being brought back to the basics. All the supplies you need are provided and kept very simple, making it very easy to pickup the tools you’ll need if you want to start painting at home. Would highly recommend for a date night or if you’re just looking to try something new!

Gary led an incredible class! Very easy to follow, and full of helpful tips and tricks. Gary made sure everyone had the tools and instructions needed to successfully complete their own variation of the painting. This was a great way to spend a Wednesday girls night!
