Their selection of "sips" was good, although a bit expensive! It got 4 stars only because I've been before and the staff working that day seemed to be annoyed by everything, and their time management was lacking, which has happened every time. They spend a lot of time on the background, and then rush through the last part. It was supposed to be from 4-6, but then it didn't start until about 4:45-7:15, and I left early.

Even during the pandemic, my family and I did her online drawing lessons and took her painting classes virtually! One really fun one was when she did the UCI Alumni party where we painted the anteater mascot! She always found ways to keep the artist in me alive and it truly made those quarantine days more enjoyable! Now that everything is opening back up again, I'm so excited she's doing more in-person parties! We just finished a party and I can definitely tell she leveled up! The set up, with all the beautiful pink aprons, plates, cups, etc, and her enthusiasm just make everything so memorable! I don't think I'll ever get tired of doing her parties!

She was really flexible with my changing head count and just shared the minimum cost which was around $330. She had me choose what design I wanted to paint in advance too, which was easy! Review - I planned this for my birthday and I had such a fun time. Davina really walks you through the steps in an easy to understand way and shows you how to do each step on her own canvas. It was totally fun and doable for my friends who are not generally crafting people! The studio has great decorations and ambiance, Davina gave us glasses, glow in the dark hair clip, and a hat to take home with us. The final painting is so pretty and glows in the dark. Super recommend, especially for kids, families, friends. COVID - we didn't wear masks but you could wear masks. Davina shared she is vaxxed and boosted.

I specialize in oil paintings seeking to inspire aspiring new artists with fun, educational painting classes. Through ten comprehensive, step by step art lessons, I can teach you the fundamentals and the techniques you'll need to create expressive paintings that you'll be proud of. Whether you're simply seeking a new creative hobby or if you want to take your first steps towards becoming a professional artist, it's my goal to foster and nurture your skills and increase your appreciation for fine art in a fun and relaxing way. I love telling visual stories about a wide variety of subjects. People, places and things always appear in my work. From real to dream imagery, my paintings are infused with a recognizable world. The paintings take many sessions, and each painting session adds a new layer of mystery and magic to the image. I feel an image is successful when the collector of the painting tells me they love to look and look and look. My collectors enjoy sharing with me the memory or meaning invoked by the painting as they contemplate it in their homes. Sharing universal human memories filled with love, light and hope crafted as a single pictorial moment, is the beauty in art that I strive for."
