Wine & Canvas

I went to one of these events with 2 of my best friends. It was hosted at the Tilted Kilt in White Marsh. The instructor helped us create amazing paintings. Walking around at the end and seeing everyones version was awesome it wasn’t like some of the other wine and paint nights that make sure you are creating the exact same picture everyone had their own individual spin. The only problem was the space at the Tilted Kilt where were located was not that big and it felt super cramped in the room with with the 40 some people there painting. But other then the small space it was a very fun night. I would do it again

This was possibly the best time I’ve ever had! Best part was no clean up for me to do.
Everything was provided, even aprons, all set up before we arrived, and we were greeted at the door by Dan (who I called Dave, by mistake a few times, but he was very pleasant about it). Rachel was our instructor and she was very thorough in explaining each step, with a wonderful sense of humor, and patience with those of us who got a little behind.
I never would have thought that I could paint anything that looked good, because I literally can not draw a straight line. I am overjoyed, and so proud to show, my LoveBirds painting that I did tonight! It is beautiful and will bring a smile to my face every time I see it.
One warning though:
I believe Wine & Canvas can become addictive.
I am already planning my next attendance!

Rachel from the Baltimore location was amazing today! Great activity for a bachelorette party! We had a blast. She was reliable and came last minute when a taste of painting messed up a reservation the day of our scheduled event. They left us hanging because they messed up their calendar and wine and canvas came to the rescue! Highly recommended!!!

Your overall experience will vary greatly on the location you choose. My review is for the class itself and not the location. I went on a chilly Monday evening. Our class was at Playoff Sports Bar and covered the ‘Nightfall in the park’ painting. The class was almost full.
Our supplies were a plate with paint colors on it, 5 brushes, paper towels, water and of course the canvas. The instructor took the time to explain the brush sizes and how the class would be conducted. Throughout the class she was patient because a lot of us were drinking and a few of us were a bit tipsy. The instructor and the host (??) were helpful with providing more paint and showing the finished piece if someone was stuck.
I was worried that my water became too mucky for my art work to turn out correct but the instruction is made so that the brushes are changed up. I had no problem with the water to clean the brushes. And if I needed water, the bathroom was close by.
For the price, I thought this was a fun class. I now have an interesting piece of artwork that I can say I did myself. My only gripe is that if you ran out of room on your paper plate palette, that’s all you would get unless there was an empty seat. I look forward to attending more classes.

I took part in one of these events, and it was a pretty poor experience overall. The event was held at Alexandra’s Restaurant in Ellicott city in one of their banquet rooms, and it was so crowded there was barely elbow room to paint, let alone eat or drink anything. Also, supplies were limited. They didn’t provide a palette knife or anything to mix the paint with, and they refused to provide more clean water for cleaning off your brushes. When the lady next to me asked for a change of water, they told her she «shouldn’t need it» because she should have been wiping her brush off on the paper towels provided. But during parts of the painting, we were specifically told to add some water to the paint to thin it out. Also, the service from the restaurant was extremely slow.

It was very easy to look at the online calendar to choose and reserve a spot.
It was wonderfully organized. We arrived a little earlier and were able to settle in and order some things from the restaurant. All the art-​related things were supplied and during the class, there was someone to come around to offer paint or anything additional. The teacher was enthusiastic and patient. The instructions were clear and fun.
Overall it was a great time. I would recommend it.
