Painting with a Twist

I booked this "Northern Lights" paint night as a gift for a friend, and we both had a blast!…read more Ellie, the resident artist of the evening, was personable and a great teacher. It was an intimate evening as there were only two other people booked, so it was like a private painting lesson. Our canvasses were set up with paint brushes and paint set out for us prior to arrival. They offer beer, wine, canned cocktails, water and soda, and don't allow outside beverages. There was only wine by the bottle so we ended up splitting a bottle with the other two attendees. I've attended a few other paint nights elsewhere in the past, and this night lived up to my expectations. I would definitely revisit Painting with a Twist in Chatsworth!

At the bar there is options to buy nonalcoholic and alcoholic beverages. We opted to get the Cherry Blossom Pinot bottle to share for our table, and I must say it was a very delightful wine that tasted perfect and light to sip on while we painted. Our painting was a lion, and I must say until almost half way through I just didn't think my painting of a lion was going to look like a lion, but we trusted the process and we followed instructions which were very easy to follow step by step, and in the end we all had lions! It's so funny that despite that we all follow the same instructions, our lions all were different sizes and looks haha! Our Instructor Ellie was so upbeat and friendly and helpful! My favorite part of the night was when we had started painting in the neon yellow color, when suddenly Ellie turned off the lights! Our paintings were glowing!!!!! Such a fun surprise the whole room did a collective "Oh my gosh!" at the same time LOL. This was definitely a fun experience that I would love to attend again! I recommend the Painting with a Twist as a nice fun night out with friends, Solo, or even on a date! Next thing you know, you'll have a whole wall of paintings!

Grimm's Bluff is stunning with so many fantastic sites to paint. Art Spot chose their private lake with the mountains and a bit of Cachuma Lake (Cristi joked about it being a unique painting in the vineyard experience to not actually paint vines!). Stunning scene. But before we proceeded to our painting location, we enjoyed sampling a bit of rose and estate sage honey and olive oil, with a little primer about Grimm's Bluff. I had persuaded a friend to join and had told her that I had done a watercolor class at Kaena, where the scene was penciled in and we were instructed on how to mix paints and water and layer in the paint, but it was easy and fun - almost like a paint by numbers with a good glass of wine. So when we got to our painting spot, I was surprised and somewhat intimidated to see completely blank canvases on easels with a few globs of acrylic paint! But Cristi is a great instructor and leader, and made the experience so fun and comfortable (the liquid courage from Grimm's Bluff didn't hurt, either). She gave us detailed tips on color mixing, which brushes to use, and how to just jump in and start. She had an easel up front and led the way, showing us on her canvas what to do. It was a blast and each one of us produced surprisingly passable if not beautiful little canvases - each unique in its own way. I highly recommend Art Spot. I have zero training or natural ability but with Cristi's guidance, now have two cute little paintings (including my Kaena watercolor). There is no reason to be fearful or intimidated- Cristi makes it so anyone can pick up a brush and release their secret inner artist. It is a lovely activity to do with friends on a gorgeous SYV day.

If I did wax art again, I would do a cream-colored card so I could see what I was drawing. I would also sit under a strong light. I recommend Brian's art classes to adults (and their families).

The requested partial staging was fairly priced and the results just stunning. Not only beautiful enhancements, but small thoughtful touches to add warmth and a sense of "home". Especially in a time of sudden and drastic changes in the RE market (pandemic), her gorgeous furniture and accent pieces very definitely made our home "shine" to best advantage and greatly helped us to sell. We highly recommend Styled and Staged to any wishing to sell their homes--to do so will be a huge advantage.

The house will be listed in 3 weeks and I need someone to stage the house; to add the finishing touches. I interviewed several staging companies. The last person I called before making a final decision was Christine Cowles Bergamin at Styled & Staged Santa Barbara. Of all the staging companies that came to my house she spent the most time. Christine and her husband Mauricio are a terrific team. They spent time measuring rooms, taking pictures and really getting a feel for the house. I was very impressed and decided to hire them on the spot. Within a day I received a detailed written estimate. She recommended which rooms were most important for staging and what I could do to save some money. I decided to do more than less and she got to work. A few days before my property went on the market, Christine and her husband got to work. They spent two full days "dressing" the house. Christine obsessed over every tiny detail. Furniture came in and then came out, pictures in pictures out: It was a frenzy of activity, finding just the right pieces for the space. Staged & Styled SB converted my house from a nicely remodeled house into a high end luxury home. A professional photographer, a great agent and a fabulous staging company and my home was listed on a Thursday. The next day I received multiple offers and accepted the best offer Saturday. All this before the open house on Sunday! A professional staging company is a must. The property shows better in the MLS listing and creates a real "buzz". There's more interest, more offers and it sells fast! Thank you Christine and Mauricio. I couldn't have done it without you! Brian P. Goleta

David was really patient with us as we didn't have the biggest budget and helped us with not only a well laid out floor plan for our changing needs (it was very funky before) but also helped with our project management which I found incredibly helpful. Most important, we didn't have to hire a separate designer. He suggested very thoughtful period centric elements to build in and materials, tiles, and color schemes to ensure our home had the right feel. He introduced me to some really beautiful and unique materials I'd have never found. In the end we finished everything (including the landscaping) in 2019 before the pandemic to enjoy full time home living. My last comment is that David also works fairly quickly. Our street is older had many architects remodeling our neighbors and it seemed we had the fastest process with getting our plans completed. Highly recommend David.

His good relations and many years of working with The City of Santa Barbara has made what could be a frustrating and overwhelming task for the average person, a breeze. David always makes himself available to discuss and update me on my project. I would recommend David Watkins Design to anyone who wants to get the job done right, while having a personalized experience throughout the process.
