Pinot’s Palette

Love this place! The price and experience works as a multilevel bundle, in my opinion. For around $ 35 (some classes are between $ 35-​$ 40, I think) you paint the theme of the night, or you can go off course if you’re that amazing. But if you’re that great, why are you here making the rest of us look bad? Geeeze~.
And as long as you don’t completely fall on your face, the painting you do is a pretty solid gift to a loved one (probably not a work friend. «uh haha wtf? uhm thanks?»), so 35 bucks ain’t bad for a gift.
You can totally suck at arts and crafts but the artists who lead you through the process are great gals (hey, if there’s a dude, sorry. I’ve only met the ladies) and they’ll help you fix or cover up mistakes, whether they’re from a color mixing mishap or too broad of a stroke.
The wine and beer aren’t too pricey, either. About normal for going out and not overly inflated. A lot of us need liquid courage to go on our art journey.

I was expecting a different experience, more artistic. It is very crowded, noisy and disorganized. The picture you paint is chosen for you. No painting outside the lines here and no room for individuality. Teachers were correcting and painting for those having problems instead of teaching by telling them HOW to develop technique. It’s an assembly line of novices.
It was relaxing to paint & took my mind off of other things. Wine was good and prices comparable to restaurants.
Not sure I’d go back, but it was a unique diversion.

What a blast painting my first painting and unlimited Mimosas ($ 15). The class price was only $ 29 with a discount. I went with a couple of friends and we laughed, painted, drank, and sang along to fun music. The instructor was funny and very helpful. Bartender very attentive. The whole experience was great and we are looking forward to planning our next session.

Took a class there tonight. Had a free glass of pinot grigio from Put A Cork In It. The teacher was very attentive and helpful. Music was keeping the pace and keeping it fun. I will go again.

This place was so much fun! There was no waiting around for the artist to start the next step and everything was very organized and accommodating. They have a bartender that will come to your table and artists are always available for help and questions. You can tell everyone enjoys working here which shows in the customer service. I also like their paintings more than the other paint and sips around.

The building is historic and has all that rustic charm and exposed brick. Very relaxed and informative. I had a blast, it was easy and fun and the instructor was funny! Felt good to paint again! Definitely going back!

If you Google Natasha Westcoat, you will see most of the paintings these venues use, particularly the trees. If you look at these businesses from an entrepreneurial standpoint, you will see they are very popular in the Southern states (is that a good thing or a telling thing?)
If you look from business to business within the industry you will see this too. I also wouldn’t pay $ 8 a glass for something that cost $ 6 a bottle.
They want you to have a good time because they use the absolute cheapest supplies on the market and make a large margin off of your good time. It is win-​win if you have a good time, so there’s that… but if you want to really learn how to paint there are artists who teach more meaty/​worthwhile classes for the same prices.

I’ve now been to Pinot’s Palette twice, and I can honestly say both times were a pretty sweet experience. Although I feel like $ 30 – 50 a night for a few hours (per person) is a little stiff, I do recognize that paints/​brushes/​canvases/​etc costs money, so it’s really not a bad price. Just expensive enough that I can’t afford to go very often.
The wine is pretty decent, around $ 8 a glass. My wife is more of a wine person than I, so I’m not clear on if that’s a good price or not.
The instructors are great, funny, helpful. I’m an awful painter, but still manage to to make a painting I could put on my wall and pass off as my 2 yr old daughter’s masterpiece.
Not a whole lot else to say, it’s just a fun time.

I was able to come here for a networking event and it was so much fun! I am not an artist by any means, but my painting turned out pretty well and I felt good about completing something that I never thought I could do. It was really interesting to see how everyone else’s paintings turned out too because they display all of our personalities on the canvas. This is a great space and the drink prices aren’t too expensive either. Ashley is an awesome teacher and I’d be happy to return again to further develop my newly found art skills!

I cannot draw. I cannot paint. But after two hours at this place, I have a damn good-​looking peacock.
This place is SO freaking fun. Club music, adults laughing and drinking, all the pretty paints you want, and instructors who realize that you are there to party. You can follow your own heart and choose different colors. Hellz, they even say you can paint a different picture if you want. They don’t care. They just want you to have a good time.
It is a great place to go for a date. The most fun is singing along to the music, slathering the paint all over the canvas for the background color, wearing fun aprons, and posing for cute pictures — you don’t even have to take your own pictures because the owners and assistant circle the room and take lots of photos of individuals/​couples/​groups and they post them immediately on their FB page. The instructors make the paintings that look so amazing and complex really easy, but no need for carbon copies, because your art is you! Trust me, you will get so addicted to this activity because of the good time you have and because, when you look at other people’s paintings and how creative they were, you tell yourself that you will do an even better job next time. It is a legit thing to do on an evening out. Don’t think of this as boring and proper, sitting down to paint in silence. Nope. it’s like going out for drinks with the girls/​guys, only with paintbrushes.
How to do it? Go to the website and see what painting you want to paint, and RSVP by signing up for that day (online) and pay for it, and then.. . just show up!

I came here one night with some friends to test out our artistic skills. Pinot’s Palette is located below Hooters along the canal in Bricktown. It’s a very old building (built in 1904) so the floor above us creeked a lot throughout the night. You have to RSVP & pay online beforehand. There are assigned seating but you can request to sit next to your friends. The girls who work here are very nice and accomodating. They’ll switch seats around if requested. Cubbies are available for people to store their belongings.
Ashley was our teacher and she was such a sweet lady! She was fun, energetic, and went slowly so you don’t miss anything. This is a very laid back activity. You can get up whenever you want and go at your own pace. They blast music over the speakers and some people even got up and danced!
There’s a bar inside the studio so you can buy wine and beer. You can bring outside food in and munch on it at your work station. Prices for each class range from $ 35 – 45 depending on the painting.
