    The Park West Gallery team was one of the biggest highlights of our Sun Princess cruise. Even after…read morecollecting artwork with Park West for years, they found a way to make every auction feel fresh, exciting, and fun. A huge shout-out to Trent, who is an outstanding auctioneer. His energy, humor, and storytelling kept everyone engaged from beginning to end. The mystery art events were especially entertaining--you never knew what surprise was coming next, and the excitement in the room was contagious. The rest of the team--Georgia, Aiden, Layla, Toro, and Kern--were equally impressive. Every one of them was friendly, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. Whether you were a first-time attendee or a longtime collector, they took the time to answer questions, explain artists, and make everyone feel welcome. There was never any pressure--just a genuine passion for art and helping people enjoy the experience. Although we didn't purchase anything on this sailing because our collection has shifted more toward original paintings, we never missed an auction because they were simply that much fun. As an unexpected bonus, we were lucky enough to win a beautiful KRE8 artwork, which made the week even more memorable. If you're sailing on the Sun Princess, do yourself a favor and attend a Park West auction. You might discover an artist you love, learn something new, win a piece of art, or simply have a fantastic time. Trent and the entire team made this an unforgettable experience, and we can't wait to see them again on a future cruise. Bravo to everyone!

    So, I went to the auction for the free drink. That's it. I had no idea art auctions were even a…read morething on cruises. I ended up going back. And then again. I kept asking about piece after piece and Ronél Ströh never made me feel like I was wasting her time. Over the course of the trip she really learned my taste and found a stunning painting by Jim Warren. She Tracked it down in the catalog, wasn't even on the ship. She just knew I'd want it. Over different days she explained the difference between lithographs, serigraphs, hand-embellished pieces. I price-checked in front of her, never felt embarrassed. Didn't buy until basically the last day. Zero pressure, ever. I Left with two Kre8s, a Peter Max, a Fazzino, and that Warren. About the pricing, yes it's above street market, but the frames alone are stunning. I tried framing the complimentary lithographs I received and got a reality check fast on what framing actually costs. So honestly, the framing alone and when you include shipping is already at least 250+ everything arrived faster than I expected, beautifully packed. No issues whatsoever. One thing nobody mentions: once you buy, suddenly everyone on the ship has an auction story. There's this whole little art community that forms onboard. Genuinely fun. Go for the free drink. See what happens. I sincerely smile every time I see these prices and am so glad and feel cool to say I own fine art. Thanks Park west and thanks especially Ronnie.

    Review is for a private party at a home - cannot comment on the store front…read more My sister-in-law had a portion of her bachelorette party at home and Painting Sensations did an at-home painting party. The bride picked the painting for the group which was a sunset with a palm tree. Larisa was very sweet and came early to my in-laws home to set everything up an hour or so before the party started. Larisa had an easy breezy attitude which I think helps with the pressure of others wanting to do a good job with their painting. She did a great job explaining how to paint our painting and was non-judgmental of everyone's work. She was also funny and personable - you can tell she is passionate about her business! The price was $35/person and the painting lasted 2 hours total. We all gave her cash. All the supplies were provided and all the ladies had a great time. Once our paintings were dry, Larisa took a picture of us and our creations.

    Grab the Girls, some snacks, a bottle of wine, and get ready to get your artsy on!…read more Really fun, relaxing time. You check out the calendar online, pick the painting class you'd like to attend, show up, and paint! They play some good music and the instructor paints along with you. This is not paint by numbers, or having a pre-sketched canvas. You sketch out your picture, and the insturctor teaches you how to paint! Classes last about 2 hours. You will be amazed at how much you can get done in 2 hours! They also have classes for Tots and Parents! This is a good time, and something totally different to do! Check it out!

    I saw this place pop up in Berkley a few years ago and was intrigued. I don't consider myself an…read moreartist by any stretch of the imagination. I hadn't attempted anything creative since the last art class I had in grade school. But I was interested when I saw they offered a Zentangle class which promised the only artistic ability you needed was to draw a stick figure. I took the class and ended up really enjoying it. It is essentially structured, meditative doodling. I came back for several more Zentangle classes when I found it was a great way to relieve stress and get out of the rut of logical, left-brain thinking. I never intended to create great art, but rather to get in touch with the creative part of my brain and to enjoy the meditative qualities of creating art. But I enjoyed Zentangle so much that I eventually branched out and tried several other classes that included things like intuitive painting, sculpture, and traditional Japanese Sumi-e black ink painting. Each class was fun and informative, and I was surprised to find sometimes I actually liked some of the art I created, too, and not just the process. The owner, Debby, and the instructors have all been great. They clearly love helping people learn and get in touch with their creativity. Articipate offers a wide variety of events, classes and lessons. It seems like there is something for everyone - regardless of age and whether you consider yourself artistic or not. It seems like a glut of places have popped up in the past few years offering private "paint parties". I have been to a couple of those and while they can be fun, this place takes an approach that is much more fun and engaging than a one size fits all "paint by numbers" approach - regardless of artistic ability. I encouraged anyone interested to check out what they offer and let the friendly owner and instructors help you get in touch with your creative side.
