Our Paint & Play program offers more than just a fun time. When the class is over, you'll leave with a painting you created and with a knowledge, background, and insight into the world of art and this is where our program differs from others.

Our instructors walk you through the techniques of creating a painting with, as Melinda said above in her testimonial, no pressure, no criticism, just helpful guidance. You learn the basics of setup, sketching, composition, lighting, detail, colors, textures and much more. It's s subtle process that occurs almost without being noticed. At some point you'll realize that what you're creating is well beyond what you thought you were capable of and that, indeed, is the fun part. In fact the comment most often heard after a class is 'I never thought I could paint like this'.

You won't be creating a Rembrandt or a Monet after one class, but each time you come back you'll see your abilities improve as you begin to understand what goes into a painting. Our instructors offer a wide range of subjects from landscapes to portraits and still lifes each requiring their own special techniques.

Some of our Paint & Players have moved on to bigger and better things. An example of which is a former student, Jean, who has moved on under the tutelage of one of our in-house professional artists, Walter Monastyretsky, in our Private Classes program.
