In love with this beautiful painting! I always wanted a painting done by this talented artist, W.B. My wife and I finally own our very own that we now proudly hang in our home. The detail is impeccable and Queen Elizabeth's beauty in her face, crown and rod of equity are brought to life. The service from Cynthia and W.B. was amazing! They always kept in contact with me with courtesy emails on the process of the painting until it was completed. It was a pleasure working with them and couldn't be happier with this masterpiece! I will also add that their prices and work are worth every penny. I would highly recommend this artist and veteran owned business to anyone interested in portraits painted with oil paint. The passion W.B. puts in his work is evident through this portrait and his other paintings. Support this amazing couple and their business. read more

Had our mystery girls evening with Cynthias last night and the entire experience was lovely! Would highly recommend for a group outing, date night, ladies night or just something creative to do for fun. The team made the experience more enjoyable and their sense of humor and light hearted encouraging approach was perfect. I'm also happy with my painting. Highly recommend you give it a try :) read more

What a great experience. My husband bought me this experience for Christmas. We did it the week after and got WB and Cynthia to ourselves. WB was a great teacher. We did our pet. They initially do the outline and then guide you step by step to finish and complete an amazing portrait of your pet. We had a great time. We brought our own wine, it was a good night. Would recommend if you're looking to paint your pet. WR is a great artist. read more

This was the best sip and paint experience I ever had!! The owners were extremely accommodating! We threw a surprise Birthday Party for our Soror and they had pink & green napkins, cups, decor for us all ready!!! Very nice! They guided us step by step in our paintings and modified as we all wanted different hair styles as you can see! We wanted them to kind of look like us! lol As we continued to paint, out paintings came to life!!! The colors, the stage, the background! And they all were different! We painted, danced, sang and ate! It was a good time for all! They also stayed a little longer for us, we started a little later, so we were extremely grateful! i would totally do it again! It was fun! Thank you!!!! read more

This is my second time coming to this art gallery for a sip and paint night and I must say they are the best! I've gone to another place before and did not get enjoy it as much as I did at Cynthia's Artistic Expressions. They go above and beyond to ensure that you and your group have a great time and they even get the artist in you to come out. I wanted to put together a team building event for our dental team and W.B. along with his wonderful wife Cynthia made it a one of a kind experience. They even flew in their son from out of state to host our sip and paint night, amazing right?! Thank you so much for making this happen. You turned us all into artists ‍ we can't wait to put up our artwork in our dental office! read more

Simply amazing! Owners W.B. and Cynthia are such warm, friendly and fun people! So.... accommodating from our pre party planning, day of assistance and during the party itself! I co organized a surprise party for a friend and we had a barnyard theme. Cynthia went above and beyond... Provided a bouquet of big beautiful barnyard animal mylar balloons, matching themed plates, napkins, tablecloths and utensils and the wine glasses and cups!! They set up 2 tables for us so we can set up our food and beverages. W.B. even painted a special picture for the birthday girl that so the guests signed as a great momento of the party! W.B. is a very talented and patient instructor and Cynthia is a tremendous cheerleader, rooting us all on as we attempted to paint!! Party was a huge success.. thanks too Cynthia and W.B.!! Great place to have a party!!! read more

Went there to celebrate a birthday and everyone had a blast. They had all the birthday decorations setup when we entered. They provided cupcakes, meat and cheese platter, bottle water, Birthday balloons, plates, utensils and glassware. The drawing was stenciled lightly on the canvas. I like that because I want my drawing to look similar to the example. W.B. is an amazing instructor and painter. His artwork his hanging and it's beautiful. Cynthia came around to help also. Music was provided, there was singing and lots of fun, fun, fun! Cynthia and W.B. are both military veterans. Yes, support our veterans. They both are so kind, accommodating and personable and making our "paint and sip" birthday so much fun. I will most definitely recommend your next event here or have them come to you. I will be returning. read more

This was such an amazing experience. I attended the Paint your Pet event with my mom and cousin and we all loved it! WB makes art enjoyable and fun for everyone. Cynthia is a great assistant to WB and made sure we had snacks and drinks available. It was BYOB so we stopped by Coomber for a bottle of chilled wine and brought it with us. The paintings all turned out amazing and WB was there each step of the way to help us and boost our confidence with his encouragement and assistance. I highly recommend it for everyone, especially those like me who used to think I wasn't very artistic. read more

We celebrated my niece's birthday yesterday at Cynthia's Artistic Expression. We painted silhouette mermaids against a purple and blue sunset. It was a private event just for family and friends. Cynthia and WB were such kind and gracious hosts who helped us each create a unique painting. They made it fun and easy with clear instructions in a very nice environment with clean ample supplies of paint, brushes and napkins. They also supplied candy and the option for coffee. WB is an incredibly gifted artist. What a treasure for us to have in downtown Oceanside. I highly recommend this as a fun way to celebrate any event or just plan a night out with friends. You will not be disappointed!! My niece also picked the mermaid and colors we painted with. They have lots of options! read more

Amazing experience from booking to the actual session! We took our niece to Cynthia's for a private paint party to celebrate her 17th Birthday and our expectations were exceeded. During our initial conversation to discuss details about the party I found myself engaged in pleasant conversation with Cynthia. Her warm and genuine tone was so welcoming. We did not want to do a previously painted picture so they were kind enough to create a design for personally for us. Prior to arriving I received notifications reminding me of the time,location, and directions. Upon arrival we were greeted by the owners. They were both wearing mask as we were directed to as well. The paint room was very clean and even decorated for our birthday celebration. We were allowed to check out the art work and get some education on the different painting styles. There was music playing in the background and we were asked our preference of music. One of the instructors explained what we would be doing exactly and broke it down step by step. He allowed us to take our time and while we were working they both checked to make sure we didn't need any help and we were on track. I have NEVER painted and I was skeptical about how it would turn out, but it was pretty good. My 7 year old even painted a really awesome picture and has never picked up a brush! So anyone can do it! This was perfect for us. We will definitely be going again read more

Here's the deal: There are lots of options for paint/sip or local art classes. IF you are looking for an experience where you can learn/enjoy/improve at the painting part of a night out (and drink wine if you want) then make plans to come to Cynthia's Artistic Expressions (CAE). If you ONlY want an excuse to go drink wine and are indifferent about the painting part then you can choose any paint sip or just stay home and drink. Here are some things you should know about Cynthia's Artistic Expressions: - They Care. Owners Cynthia and her husband WB opened this business because they want to share their passion with others. They don't have a squad of part time art students cleaning brushes and punching the clock. - Group classes/lessons are mostly taught by co-owner and gifted painter WB. WB is self taught painter who has used painting to channel and heal his PTSD from time spent in the Navy. He has the ability to talk to you on your "level" as an artist which I think comes from fact that he learned to paint later in life and seems fearless about trying new techniques/styles of painting. You will be blown away by his story and his (very diverse) portfolio of originals that fill the walls of the studio. - Personal Attention. WB and Cynthia and staff will keep an eye on you and help as much of as little as you need. (Unlike many paint and sip babysitters who just want to get done w paint by numbers and leave). Put it this way, there's a very solid chance that you will surprise yourself (in a good way) when you see what you painted... - Accommodating. Want to paint YOUR pet, YOUR landscape, YOUR coffee mug, just call and explain what you want. I came to a class and wanted to paint the same sunset as the "lesson" but wanted to tweak the tree silhouette. No hesitation. No problem. Call and talk to them because I bet you will figure out a solution that is better than what you can imagine. I don't review often. We only met Cynthia and WB last week. Having just gone through the YELP comparison exercise on painting places to go and I'm sooooo glad that we picked CAE. EVERYONE (kids, first timer, Monet-in-training) who is interested in painting will be glad they found it. read more

We had a wonderful afternoon relaxing, and enjoying painting our bikes with baskets of flowers! W.B. led our class, taking us through each section, teaching us how to apply and blend the colors, how to add shading and light areas to bring movement and make things pop! He also showed us some basics so we could creatively fill our flower baskets with lots of flowers! He was a kind, joy-filled, patient and skilled teacher, encouraging us and assisting us as we went along! I also love the painting that we chose - something that I will display versus hiding it away like the paintings from other paint events. Cynthia has done a great job coming up with designs and ideas for paintings people will continue to enjoy! It's a beautiful shop and I highly recommend going for a welcome and enjoyable time creating!! read more

I loved this place. I decided to do an art party for my son's 7th birthday with his close friends. And it was the best birthday per my 7 year old. The owners were so accommodating and were just wonderful people to be around. The were engaging with the kids and helping to motivate and calm frustrations when needed. They offer art classes and I intend along with some of the other parents to enroll in upcoming kids classes. I definitely plan on returning and can't wait until they open up fully. Thank you guys again for making my son's birthday so fun read more

What a fun night! We went to a sip and paint night last Saturday on a double date with friends. I always wanted to try something like this so was so glad when we got the invite. Cynthia and her husband helped create a warm and inviting atmosphere where it seemed like everyone enjoyed themselves. Everything is set up for you when you walk in and they had snacks available while you paint. They kept the energy and fun flowing throughout the evening and encouraged everyone that its not about talent but having fun! (and they would help you if you made a mistake or needed assistance with anything too). I am by no means an artist but I left feeling like I had created something I was proud of. I will definitely be back and will bring friends with me. read more

This place is phenomenal. My wife and I came in for a paint and sip session and had a blast! W.B and Cynthia put on a great event. They had everything that we needed ready when we arrived, and coached us through our sunset painting. You don't have to be an expert to attend, I considered myself a horrible artist prior to this class, but W.B. and Cynthia were able to get a respectable painting from me. The best thing of all is how fun the class was. The atmosphere is very relaxing and it's a great way to spend a date night. read more

We reserved a private paint and wine session with Cynthia as a Mother's Day celebration. From the moment I reached out to her, I was impressed by her customer service and ideas to make our experience unique and unforgettable.

He made us all feel comfortable and was very encouraging even with our lack of experience. Thanks guys for making our session one to remember! read more

My first time taking a class at Cynthia's; labor day weekend 2019 I signed up , showed up and the rest of my class decided to paint earlier that day...WB...Cynthia's husband said "let's jamb"...and he and I painted this beautiful sunset together. Both Cynthia and WB are extremely talented and are a beautiful and loving couple. Their studio is very fresh and clean, and the brushes were in good shape . I am only in the Oceanside area once a year but for sure will look them up again next year! I now have a beautiful painting and have made an everlasting friendship! I highly recommend their painting classes!!! read more

So much fun! My husband and I went on a date night and decided to try this out for the first time. We were so pleased! It is a little family owned business and they are very military friendly due to them being Veterans themselves. Amazingly talented individual and you can tell how passionate they are. M.s instructions were perfect and he went slowly enough so that we produced the very best outcome we could. They provided yummy snacks and a very intimate environment that really made the whole experience opposed to being in a loud bar or venue. We will definitely be back!! read more

Booked a small private lesson with my parents and girlfriend as a Christmas present. We all had an absolutely wonderful time and were very proud of our creations. My parents were a little nervous coming-in but both exclaimed that it was the best piece of art they'd ever made. Cynthia and her husband had a perfect set-up for us when we arrived with snacks laid out, cups and a place for our wine, and all of the supplies we needed. They were very fun and sweet and a great couple to spend a couple hours with. The instruction we received was the perfect balance of giving us our own space to be creative but with guidance and the occasional couple brush strokes of help when needed. This was really an awesome overall experience and something I cannot recommend highly enough! (Also was appreciative of Cynthia's reminder to apply my coupons correctly which saved me some $ on an already reasonably priced experience. Really loved her husband's paintings and the atmosphere of the venue as well.) read more
