If you & your friends (or family!) are looking for a fun & creative way to spend time together,…read morethen The Painted Syrah is for you! I've attended two events with The Painted Syrah & I had a blast at both! I was a little apprehensive the first time I went, but Sarah is a terrific teacher & quickly alleviated the anxiety I had about not knowing how to paint! All of the supplies are included in your event fee, so you just show up, sit down & get to painting! Both of the events I attended were at local restaurants, so my friends & I ordered some food (and wine!) to enjoy while we painted! In addition to being a very talented artist, it's obvious Sarah is comfortable working with all types of people! There were over fifteen people in the first party I attended & I was thoroughly impressed with Sarah's ability to instruct such a large group & provide individual assistance to everyone throughout the evening. She has great tips for beginners (like me!) & knows how to fix any type of beginner's boo-boos (like mine!). The Painted Syrah is a Tri-Cities' treasure & Sarah has a gift for making sure everyone takes home a masterpiece & a smile!

The one problem I had was it was too close for comfort, we were literally packed in like sardines, elbows bumping and had to be extra careful as not to spill anything, yikes, paint spills would not be good. It wasn't possible to avoid a cough in the face even if you tried. I'd like to attend more of these but I'm not too keen on that setup. But if you're okay with it, then you really need to go, even if you've never painted before like me, she makes it so easy. You'll come home with your masterpiece and feel really proud of yourself, lol, you really will.

You also get to walk away with a wonderful piece of artwork you created and probably feeling very refreshed and relaxed. I thought the class was great. The teacher is super sweet, patient and knowledgeable. Anyone of any artistic skill level will feel welcome and at ease. There were people in the room that had never really painted before and certainly not in their adult years, but they left feeling very pleased with their result. Others were well seasoned artists and left feeling they were able to expand and enjoy their talent. I would recommend this to anyone looking for something different to do.

Each lesson we paint a picture or in a style that I selected ahead of time, and each time I learn something that I carry with me through my other painting. I am definitely a beginner, still trying to figure out how wet my paper and brush should be, what is "damp," or what it means to "lift color." In addition to learning how to paint, I've gained a lot more confidence in my ability to put paint on paper.
