Wine And Canvas

I have visited this site twice for adult fun and for a kids party. I was pleased with their response to my error in scheduling online. I was also satisfied with their ability to accommodate our special needs son at the kids party. Staff was great in supporting guests who needed help catching up to the rest of us.
Drinks were not included for kid or adult painting

Had my daughters birthday party in their beautiful studio. The instructor and her assistant were great. Kids and adults had a great time. Will definitely do this again.

My girlfriend and I went to Wine and Canvas for our first ‘paint and drink’ experience about 2 months ago. The studio very nice and was also very big. There was lots of room for many participants. The radio station was set to easy listening and there were pictures of past paintings all over. The teacher was up on a small stage-​like thingy, so that she was above the rest of us and it was very easy to see what she was doing. The teacher took us through the painting, (Starry Night by Van Gogh), at a great pace and all the employees who were there to refill our paint were very attentive. We did have a great time.
Parking was $ 8.00 in a parking structure.
The ONLY drawback that I found, and this was my fault for not looking more into it, it was NOT BYOB and the drinks were ridiculously over-​priced and had VERY LITTLE alcohol in them. Our next trip a month later was to Paint and Sip. We will not be back to Wine and Canvas after visiting Paint and Sip.

They are awesome! We are here for a birthday party. A great way to celebrate with friends. And the margaritas are very tasty.

Fun, fun, fun! This was my first time doing a canvas painting class. I enjoyed it so much. It’s amazing what you can do with some guidance and paint. I booked a reservation in advance for my mom for Mother’s Day. We went the night before.
We checked in 15 minutes prior and found open seats. You are automatically guaranteed a spot, but getting there early is best to get good seats. We checked in and received our canvas. We grabbed an apron and waited in line for some drinks. They are partnered up with El Cholo so you can buy mixed drinks and food from them. Personally, I think it would be hard to eat while painting. But, it’s a cool thing to offer.
Our painting took about 2 hours to complete. The artist went step by step through the whole thing and made sure to give enough time for everyone to finish that step. Girls would walk around if you needed extra paint or help. They raffled off a couple paintings which myself and my mom both won, it was cool!
I can’t wait to go back!

The title of this event is VERY misleading. The $ 35 fee does NOT include any wine. It just covers the cost of the supplies to paint. The food and wine was supplied by El Cholo all at an additional price. Each glass of wine is $ 7 and they only have Chardonnay and Merlot. Do not come here expecting to get wine or any appetizers. If you don’t want to spend additional money on food, I recommend eating beforehand.
They recommend to arrive 15 – 30 minutes beforehand to check in. If you want a good spot close to the instructor, I recommend to arrive early.

I came for a work outing and had a great time. The employees were very friendly and gave very easy, step-​by-​step instructions to walk you through the process of creating a painting. I liked the fact that there wasn’t pressure to paint one way. They reiterated that it’s all about being different and interpreting the art in your own personal way. This was also very peaceful and calming. I felt that it was therapeutic in many ways. There was also an open bar and I ordered a house margarita. It was strong but not overpowering. It was also pretty cool to paint while tipsy lol. Additionally, as a work outing, I think it was perfect. It was a creative activity that helped to symbolize that even though we all received the same instructions, we all painted things a little differently. So it was nice to reflect on the fact that sometimes there are multiple ways to achieve the same outcome. Great place and I will definitely be coming back!

Really enjoyed our time here! Bf and I did a «date night» event on Valentine’s day and it was a fun daytime activity. It was very easy to go on the online calendar to see the different options and sign up/​pay. Location was fine at Paseo Colorado and there is validated parking (first 90 minutes free). We went to a leisurely lunch afterwards and parking ended up being $ 6 total.
We got there about 20 minutes early to check in and grab seats near the front (bf can’t see from far away). The best thing about this was that they made it very easy to follow instructions and everyone’s paintings came fairly close to the original. I was very proud of the bf, who is not an artist. The paints were quickly refilled by the assistants and it was nice going home with some self-​made artwork and not have to deal with any clean up. All the staff were extremely nice and even in the midst of their hurried clean-​up, they were still happy about taking our picture before we left.
Only complaint was that some of the brushes were pretty worn and it was hard to get a clean straight line.

First of all, this is not my first time at this place. I have been to other locations for paint night. Wine and Canvas is inside Paseo Colorado. You do have to pay to park at the structure. You do get vaidation, which goes from $ 9 to $ 6. I am not sure if it was just an off night for them, but here it goes.
You pay $ 35 for 3 hours of fun. you go to their calender to see which painting you want to do. You reserve a space for your night. Upon arrival, you check in and get a canvas. You can pick any location to sit down. The paint/​paint brushes are already there. There is also an apron to use so you don’t get dirty. You do get an instructor to give you play by play to paint. You also have someone, who you can buy drinks/​snacks from.
On the day that I went, People came late. when it was time to start, they didn’t do so because many people were still in line to buy drinks. we were delayed to start. I think the instructor tries to rush us because she started late. People were really loud probably they got drunk. It was hard to hear the instruction. Plus she was rushing us before we were ready to move on. Nevertheless, I did finished the painting. Was it my best painting? probably not. Would I go again, probably another location

+ I like that they have a calendar online, so people can chose a motive of their liking. I also compliment their variety of paintings. Especially the ones for two (couples or so) are a creative idea!
— As mentioned in other reviews, there was no single glass of the cheapest wine included in this event that calls itself W-​I-​N-​E & and Canvas. They should think about why they advertise wine in their name, but so be it. What made me truly angry was the price of the wine sold by a third party vendor; it is ridiculously expensive.
+ Wine aside, I did enjoy how we started into the evening: Time to question the instructor about details, chit-​chat while painting, and time to finish every step in absolute detail. Relaxed and friendly so far. Exactly what I would expect from a perfect night out!
— Suddenly the teacher switched into a fast-​pace that I had serious trouble to keep up with. He did not slow down any more. Me and my friends had stopped more or less all conversation at this point. I also noticed others waving over the assistant. In my case he just walked by and said: «Go on, go on, gooood job…» No, my so far beautiful painting was collapsing more and more! I had already missed new instructions while desperately trying to finish the second to last step… My water to clean out the brushes was a brown mess, but I had no time to replace it. There were no slight pauses any more for people to catch up. We rushed, rushed, rushed through the rest of the night.
+/​-​This obvious rush to finish timely ruined the best part for me. I took home a fairly nice picture, but definitely could have done better if W&C gave their event a less tight time frame.

Was a good experience overall. I felt the instructor went a little fast for me but overall I enjoyed the experience. The location is good as you’ll notice they have plenty of eating options nearby. This makes for a perfect date night. Parking is validated and the structure is nearby.

COOKIES & CANVAS!
I took my daughter (5 ½ years old) here to check it out for a possible birthday party. She is ADDICTED! We’ve gone two days in a row, and she’d like to go again tomorrow. Only $ 20 for almost 2 hours (and cookies!). My daughter insisted I paint with her (the 2^nd time), I was slightly terrified, but ended up having so much fun. The instructor we had both days was AMELIA, and she is fantastic — very easy to understand/​follow, goes at a nice pace.

Such a fun night! Super friendly staff, great instruction, fun setting. I wish it was BYOB but other than that it was a fantastic A+ experience! I would definitely go again and would recommend to anyone looking for a fun outing or date idea!

I love wine and canvas! I think it’s an extremely fun activity to do with your significant other, friends, and even family. I like being out and about and trying out new feel good activities and this is one of my new favorites!
So the rundown. You go online and look at their monthly calendar. Each date has a different painting posted. You pick which one you like and then reserve a spot ($ 35 per person). You show up the day of your reservation, check in and find a seat. They have drinks and snacks available for you. A few beer and wine selection as well as bottomless mimosas. The class runs from 7:00 — 10:00 and you can stay longer if you need some time for some finishing touches.
When you sit down, there’s an easel in front of you as well as paintbrushes of different sizes and a plate of paint in different colors. They do start you off with a small blob of each color but an assistant walks around the whole time and refills your paint if needed. There is an instructor at the front explaining each step of the painting. I was super intimidated by how hard the paintings looked but the instructors detailed instructions helped a lot! I like how everyone’s paintings turn out differently, which you will see when we take a group picture at the end and everyone holds their paintings up.
They play some really good relaxing music to ease the atmosphere. They do give you aprons since painting can get messy. I got paint all over my hands but it comes off right away with soap and water. There’s a lot of restaurants in Paseo so it’s ideal to grab some food before the class starts. Parking is a couple dollars with validation. One thing I noticed is that the pacing of the classes is really nice. The instructor makes sure everyone is caught up before she moves to the next step. You also take a break in the middle, where you can just chill for like ten mins and let the paint dry or catch up on your painting. They also give away some paintings via raffle and also give away social media discounts.
I definitely recommend couples trying out the date night options. My bf and I did the starry nights one, in which we both painted half of the painting each. There’s also a day and night tree one I really wanna do!

I honestly haven’t painted since probably elementary school, after some research online to where local paint studios where, I came across Paint & Canvas. Registering online was quick and easy. There is a calendar on the website that show cases the different types of paintings that you are able to do so you can pick which one you like and register for it.
The studio is located on the second floor of the Paseo mall. Inside you will find lots of paintings hanging on display with past projects. Once you arrive you check in at the front to receive your canvas to paint on. Pick a seat anywhere and put on an apron and get ready to paint! The instructor was very patient and explained every step. There are assistants that walk around in case you need any help or need extra paint.
Throughout the course, there are some cool giveaways and chances to sign up for a stamp card to get a free class every 7^th stamp. There are also many opportunities to walk around and see how everyone else’s paintings look like. I think that it is pretty neat that everyone had a unique look to their painting!
The staff here is very friendly and nice, this is a place that you can come with a date or with a group of friends to have fun and take something home that you can call yours. Don’t be intimidated if you have never painted before, I haven’t and it came out great! Definitely worth trying out if you have the time or want to do something out of your comfort zone. So relax, have a glass of wine and enjoy painting a beautiful masterpiece!
I will be back soon!

I absolutely loved Wine and Canvas in Pasadena. My friends and I went as a gift to one of the friends and she was pleasantly surprised and super excited.
We arrived early (highly recommended). Checked in. From my understanding the reservation is done online before you get there because this place fills up, and fills up FAST. There is a calendar online so you know exactly what you are going to paint before you arrive. Also you want to get there early to get a good spot (your back not to the teacher) so that you can see the teacher and example. Some spots are not ideal but everyone is able to see the teacher because she is elevated in the front corner. Once we checked in we were given a canvas which is included in your fees, pick our spots and since we were so early we went to the starbucks in the mall.
By the time we got back the seating was full and wine and canvas was preparing to start. You are given paint and there are aprons available to wear. I would recommend wearing clothes you don’t really mind getting paint on. I didn’t personally get paint on me because the aprons are floor length but get in case, ya know?
The teacher goes step by step, stating what colors to use, how much to use, when to use water, everything. Literally step by step. Of course I wanted to match the teacher artistry skills but you definitely do not have to be a painter to enjoy yourself. The artist skills ranged from beginner to advanced however if you follow step by step you will be fine. This particular teacher went a little bit fast in her instruction but I am told she is the fastest and I was able to keep up. The employee mentioned other teachers are not as fast pace. Even though she went a tad fast I was able to do each step and she was easy to understand as to what steps to take.
About half way through, there was a break where we waited for some of the paint to dry and they did a raffle of the teacher’s painting, which they call the duplicates. I wanted to win but didn’t :-(That’s okay next time.
The whole activity is about 2 hours. I had so much fun. I would definitely do it again. The only CON: you have to pay for wine and drinks. I thought the wine was included but no.
Parking: Wine and Canvas is in the Pasadena Paseo Mall. 90 mins are free but since you are there at least 2 hours you will end up paying. I think I paid $ 2 – 4 but I can’t remember, for about 3 hours of parking.

It’s the most stressful/​fun thing I’ve ever done.
Do not be afraid of lack of artistry, because they really idiotproof the art. If you can follow steps like «Take your brush and hold it out from the edge and make a dot at the end of the metal» and «Connect these two dots» then you really can recreate these paintings yourself! It does get a bit stressful when you’re trying to perfect the task at hand and the instructor blows through to the next phase, but overall it’s nothing you can’t handle. They did teach us a great color blending trick (make X’s with the brush to help the colors blend together) the first time I went, but this time they didn’t. I guess it depends on the instructor. No matter what, remember to paint the edges of the canvas!!!
This was my second time picking up the brush. My first was for «the great wave» … THAT one was pretty difficult and I would not recommend for a beginner. It was really hard to get the curvature of the waves correct (my friend’s sister had to help us make the outline). This time around I picked «infinity poolside» and save the straight lines of the pool (everyone GASPED and panicked when we had to make those lines) it was a LOT easier.
Anyway, when all is said and done, it feels so awesome to have a piece of art that YOU CREATED hanging on your wall!

I am an artist.
This Poem
May not be
a good one, but I
enjoy it because the canvas awakened in me
a desire — to make more, create more, and
yes, maybe
drink more. Or was that the wine?
and now my room has a View
despite the small windows– a familiar Parisian
towers over my
wardrobe. I am an artist. I love it.

The painting that I created while at Wine and Canvass hangs proudly in my house today. Not because I happen to be a Monet in the making but because the art instructor was really good at providing clear instruction on how to make our canvasses come to life. Every part of this operation seemed organized and well thought out to me. This made it so that we could relax and enjoy our friend’s company, the wine, the art and the music.
They line up rows of canvasses and the artist is on a platform so that you can see his instruction from any angle in the room. Long aprons were provided so no need to worry about what to wear. As we painted, fun and relaxing music played and a bartender served red and white wine and beer. Other staff members walked around and provided more paint as needed. As it’s a three hour session, breaks are definitely needed and the art instructor was good about gauging when we needed a break. The ticket covers the instruction, canvass and paint. The alcohol will need to be purchased separately but it’s not insanely expensive. I was able to get a bottled Stone IPA for $ 6. Not bad at all.
The interior walls of the building are lined with really nice artwork as are the walls of the restroom. They raffled off a couple pieces of art too and had opportunities for other giveaways as well. They’re located in a mall that has a handful of restaurants that sounded really good. You could definitely make a whole evening out of it and have dinner in the mall before heading over to the event. I had a great time and will definitely return with more friends in the future.

Super fun! I had a wonderful time at wine and canvas with my boyfriend for our 6 months anniversary. We decided to do the date night option which included a duel painting of a tree with a heart in the middle.
These classes fill up fast and the cost per class is $ 35 per person and you need to register online ahead of time.
Once you’re there all you need to do is sign in and they give you your canvas. You can also have the option of buying cocktails and or beer there and they even have a bottomless cocktails if you opt for that option.
The instructors are super entertaining and helpful, they are patient with the students and are always walking around attentively asking if there is anything else you need.
During waiting periods when the students are waiting for their paint to dry, instructors and staff members usually do raffles and/​or social media promotions which include 15% off the next visit.
I had a wonderful time and I will definitely be back again!
