Brush strokes and beverages is a great place to relax and unwind! Your artistry is unleashed with amazing staff , Kit is the best!

If supporting honest businesses matters to you, I would avoid Brushstrokes + Beverages. I taught four classes for this company, and I still have not been paid for them. I think it is dishonest to hire an artist to teach classes, collect payment from customers, and then leave the artist's work unpaid. Before booking a class, please consider whether this is a business you want to support. read more

Man, this place is freaking fun!! We had a private event. About 10 people. It was from 5p to 7p. Had some time to eat a meal also (ordered food) and had it catered. We drew dandelions. Our instructor was great! Downfall - parking isn't all that easy. You park on the street and have to pay a few bucks as it's metered parking. After 6p it's free parking I believe. Anyway, downtown LB is a fun place. This place just makes it SERIOUSLY that much better! Super fun to go with a good group of people! Also, if you're coming in the summer, when you arrive, sit towards the far left. The right side will be tough as the sun will burn you like there's no tomorrow read more

Brushstrokes + Beverages - Dandelions. Super duper fun! - Art Classes Near Me - Long Beach, California

Came here once with a small group of friends. Had an amazing experience. Staff were very friendly and helpful! So I ended booking the whole place for a party of 20+ friends for my birthday. Loved it! Communication was amazing! They allowed me to bring snacks and drinks too. Everyone had a blast! read more

I went with of group of 8 to an event hosted at the Wine District in Long Beach. We were sat outside at 3pm in the blazing heat. The umbrella provided no true coverage and sitting in the sun made the experience anything but enjoyable. Me and my party wanted to quiet and leave half way through, a few did. I would never attended an event hosted at this space again, what was supposed to be a fun celebration for my mother's bday was a few hot hours in the sun... The space also limited the teachers ability to communicate with everyone effectively..... Brushstokes needs to ensure a comfortable setting for all its customers read more

My friends and I spent Valentines Day at Brushstrokes & Beverages, our painting was Koi Love with instructor Ivan Zuno. He was an amazing instructor, he was energetic and fun. Made his round throughout the studio during the class making sure we were having fun and offering help to those that wanted assistance. The music choice was awesome too. It was our friends, Stacy & Debs first time, they really enjoyed themselves. We all want to come back just for Ivan, that's how much fun we had. I am so NOT artistic and never thought I'd enjoy this but this was the 2nd class me and my wife attended. Artistic or not, Ivan made us feel like real artists. Thank you Ivan for a great Valentines Day read more

We did a paint and plant and I wasn't expecting much, but I really did enjoy myself and had fun. Our friends had a good time as well, first time doing this sort of thing and I look forward to doing this again, I'm interested in the paint your pet event, now that sounds like a good time. read more

We went in September for my bday. And we really enjoyed ourselves. You won't be disappointed, the artist walks around and answers all questions. I believe this one you just had to spend $20 per person at the restaurant but that's a separate charge for the event itself. Still affordable and worth every penny. read more

I don't know why I've never tried a Paint n Sip session! My girlfriends and I had so much fun last night! I purchased my ticket for $40 directly from Brushstrokes + Beverages website. A few friends got tickets on Groupon for $30. This included a 20 x 16 canvas, paint, and a 2-hour lesson. BYOB and food. They have a mini fridge and can supply ice. We got there around 7pm and had sometime to pour some drinks and have some snacks. Devin, our instructor, was so friendly, fun and accommodating. He started his lesson around 7:30 and taught us how to paint a sunset with a wave. We took a 10-minute break in between to let the paint dry and then, continued until about 9/9:30. Devin played great music while we painted and took requests too. We were all pretty happy with how our paintings turned out. The booze really helped our creative juices flow! The studio doesn't have a parking lot, but metered street parking is free after 6pm and on Sundays. There's also a parking lot a block away on Elm and 1st for $4. read more

Our party of 12 had an amazing painting experience at Brushstrokes. The instructor, Kit, was easy to follow and created a fun, relaxing vibe. If you're planning an event at Brushstrokes, you won't regret it--your friends and family will have a wonderful time. Thank you, - Ginger (LK) read more

Woooowww! OKAAAYY! You go, Glen Coco! Came in on a Thursday at Trademark Brewery, which is a cool vibe and spacious venue. They offer slurpie like slushie drinks, the fruit punch was our pick, it was fab. They had Bun Apetit Burgers on site, and I ordered a burger that was delicious, and they went out of their way to make some pretty good fries for my friend who is vegan. Bathrooms were clean, but the neighborhood is a bit sketch, and I do not recommend parking on the east side of the building. Jasmine, our instructor, was phenomenal! She was fun, thorough, and eager to help. In total, the class seemed full, I think I saw 1 empty space (I would suggest seeing if Trademark would allow for the tables to be spaced a little more), but honestly Jasmine made everyone forget how crowded we were and we fell into a comfort zone and everyone comfortably painted their masterpieces and we all had a really great time! This is definitely something I will do again, and I would highly recommend booking when you see Jasmine listed as an instructor. Thank you, Jasmine and Brushstrokes & Beverages! This was my first Sip and Paint experience, and it was perfect. read more

Unreliable, unresponsive, not a place I will give my business to. I was canceled on today around 4:30 PM I replied by five to a message that stated "we can just move you to another event day". I tried to call and get a few questions answered and I received a message saying that that number is only good for text messages. So I again texted a question about switching days, I have now been waiting "a couple hours" with no response so I'll just take a refund and write a review. My husband took the night off and missed out on a work opportunity to go painting with me tonight which has now been a complete waste. Thank you for NOT caring about us brushstrokes + beverages -Today business owner Michael Mosselli decided to harass me via text... lol this place is a JOKE Reviews are opinions about your personal experience with a business and this is mine. read more

Fun event with Kate through Groupon! We made a lot of new friends during this class and really enjoyed the process of painting this piece. A couple reminders: -bring your own alcohol AND your own glasses -bring snacks if you want too! -come a little early to look for parking, especially if your event is on the weekend (parking is free after 6pm) don't fall for the paid parking lots!!! They're pricey -place your alcohol on your non-dominant side and/or not in front of your painting (I spilled mine lol) -wear clothes you wouldn't mind getting paint on -for anyone with long hair, bringing a scrunchie is an excellent idea -get creative with your painting! I didn't like the cranes in the original painting so I replaced them with more palm trees and an abandoned sailboat :) Thank you Kate for the fun event! read more

Loved it - All materials was worth the price! Our group had a blast and we'll do it again!

Purchased 2 tickets for a painting class. 24 hours before class, received a text informing me the class was cancelled. When I called to inquire about cancellation, I was informed that since only 4 people signed up for the class it was not profitable for them unless they had 8 people in a class. While I understand the principles of business, I felt that they had a moral obligation to have the class whether it was good for their bottom line or not. Businesses should understand that the only way they will succeed is for people to enjoy themselves and they will in turn tell their friends about the business. In my case, I will be letting all my friends know I found my experience to be unacceptable. Brushstrokes gave no consideration whatsoever as to the fact that people have to make arrangements to attend these events. (arrange for sitter, transportation, etc.) This might have been a birthday gift for someone. read more

I came here last night and I have to say, I'll be back very soon! Bryce led our class and he was extremely patient and thorough when instructing us. The ambiance was peaceful and soft music played in the background. Highly recommend! read more

I love this place! Their studio is so arty and cozy. Our instructor IVAN ZUNO, is such a fun guy, he made our experience worth every penny. I highly recommend this place for a date, go with your family, or really just by yourself lol. I promise you it won't disappoint. We've gone a few times as a date and with friends and family and every time is super fun. If you have any questions you can text them and they reply to you with any questions you may have. Everyone is super helpful . read more

Edit and update. The Owner of brushstrokes and beverages reached out. Gave us clarity on what happened and offered sincere condolences. We experienced teacher Tam and again at trademark Brewing. Tam and brushstrokes and beverages I 10/10 recommend and will be celebrating my next gathering with them in their studio to give that a try too ! The issue is trademark. I experienced a paint session there and the employees are unfriendly if they don't know you. They were chatting it up with friends but made me feel like a burden as a customer. I also made them aware of their false advertisement and the employees were nonchalant and uncaring about the situation. I highly wish brushstrokes and beverages would do their paint night at another brewery. Maybe beer lab ? As they have kinder staff, better beer, great parking and an eye catching atmosphere. read more

This was my first time painting with a group of friends, and it was such a fantastic experience! Shoutout to Devin, our instructor, who made this night so great. He was super friendly and made the night so lively with his different stories and engaging the painters there (although if you're more introverted and shy, he was also totally good about letting you focus and paint). He was constantly encouraging the painters on their progress, and you could tell he really knew his stuff by the different painting techniques he taught us. This was my second time painting on a canvas ever, so his advice was really appreciated. I'm definitely one of the more artsy people in my group, but even my friend who doesn't have a lot of art experience shared that this was a great time and she's going to go again. I'd have to agree! Also, thank you Devin for being so generous with your time. He let our class stay a little later than the booked hours to finish our paintings. Not that we would ever expect or demand that, but you could tell he genuinely wanted the group to have a good time and feel satisfied with their paintings, even if that meant he had to stay longer for the inevitable cleanup and closing. That was so kind. Thank you and when we return, I hope we take a class from you again! read more

Highlights: *Jasmine was such a great instructor! She made it fun and low pressure and offered help every step of the way. She was incredibly patient with a large, talkative group as well :) *District Wine is an adorable spot and the outdoor ambiance was great! Feedback: *Halfway through class, there was not enough light to see properly. Many of us were using phone flashlights to try and see our paintings. Please fix the lighting situation as I'd love to be back at this venue! read more

So much fun! Definitely a good time and the instructor was very cool. Time does fly by while you're there. Definitely have to pay attention to keep up. I can't wait to go again. read more

An AMAZING experience! Randomly found this place and decided to take my friend for her bday. I was really nervous about the experience not being fun enough to be a birthday present but I was very wrong. We had a blast! A few things: Parking - there is no place to park at this studio so you're on your own. Street parking is free after 6pm but as you can imagine, it gets BUSY. I drove around the area for 20 mins and never found street parking. I ended up parking at the Vons structure (2 hours free with purchase). Dress code tip - Although there is no posted dress code, know the paint used is oil based...aka it will not wash out. I would warn about wearing your favorite jeans or blouse. They do provide an apron while you're there but I strongly recommend not wearing something you'd hate to get paint on. Instructor - Every night has a different instructor. When we went, we had Kate and she was fantastic! She was dancing around, singing, teaching, laughing...an absolute love. BYOB - This is a BYOB so it's really up to you what you want to consume. People had wine, beer, or coffee. There is a liquor store walking distance, as well as Vons. I took snacks as well but it's seriously up to your discretion. Cheers! I had so much fun that I already scheduled another night of painting. A great way to spend the afternoon with friends or your partners. (Yes, there were dudes there) read more

Paint drink and chill my new motto when I want to do something creative and fun with my daughter. It was truly a chill time inside this a fantastic eclectic environment filled with all nationalities and personalities - trust me when I say that everyone will love it. Birthday weekend ! We went Saturday 10-6 the day before my daughters birthday she chose this as part of what she wanted to do on her special day - she's been her with her boyfriend and loved it and definitely knew mommy would like it as well. It's located inside a restaurant in downtown Long Beach the paid parking spot was nearby and the walk over was fantastic located on a busy street lined with restaurants and people everywhere. We took the elevator up to the second floor and walked over to rustic benches kinda shabby-with a definite paint vibe that says you're going to get busy painting sister girl - it's definitely a chill clean and organized spot to paint. You'll sit a tad close to your neighbor but it works and the awesome instructor/painter was so nice funny and lively he definitely made this class fun. This gal hasn't painted in years but with his fun personality coupled with his fun outgoing teaching skills that constantly reinforced just have fun you can't go wrong attitude ! we had the time of our lives laughing and painting. Our painting. We did an amazing job painting- my picture came out pretty darn good for my first try and my daughters is pretty awesome as well - all because we had sooo much fun. They have a full bar with drinks wine and beer delicious appetizers to eat before during and after you paint. We didn't get a complimentary drink or appetizer like some mentioned in other yelp reviews- that was ok with us because we were going to dinner after anyway. My daughter had a glass of rose wine it's pricey but she enjoyed it. We had soo much fun I can't wait to come back and we definitely will eat and drink to get the full experience. Book an appointment to paint with your family or friends I guarantee you will love it. read more

I went here for a paint night with my alumni sorority chapter. It was a small group of us and Amethyst was our teacher! When I tell you they are an incredible instructor, they truly are! We were guided through the whole process with kindness, humor, and tips to make the painting pop a bit extra. I love that it is a smaller studio because it makes it more of a private setting. All of the supplies are provided, you just have to bring yourself! I want to try to go there in the near future again. read more

Amazing experience! So much fun at this place. Great for a bday, girls night or date. Jasmine was amazing! 10/10 would recommend

Devin was AMAZING!! I wish I can give this experience more than 5 stars. We've came here before and didn't have the best experience and decided ti give them one more try and we are so glad we did. Devin was very sweet, funny and very helpful. He walked around the room helping anyone that needed help. He made sure we were all having a good time. We are definitely returning to see Devin again. Highly recommend! read more

My friends bought a Groupon for my birthday so we could all have a paint night together. Our paint night was held on the patio section of SIP Lounge in the Renaissance Hotel. WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME. Michael lead the class and had an assistant (sorry, forgot her name)that was great and helped supply us with extra towels to clean, helped flipped our canvases and so much more. They only take reservations for paint night, you can view their schedule ahead of time on what they plan on painting and where. They release their calendar for the following month every 20th. So make sure you plan accordingly! This would also be perfect for group activities and with children (if they allow it). If your paint night is at SIP, there's one server that's going around taking drink and food orders. You can order off their happy hour menu but it's a little hard to eat since you'll be painting and there is limited space for you to do eat, drink, and paint at the same time. read more

We started on time and was able to stay a little after to complete our work. Definitely would recommend this company and Ivan as an instructor. read more
