    BYOB Painting Class
    Shawahl A.

    Paint along Yesterday was an amazing experience. My girlfriend and I were searching for a sip and paint class and came across this place. Nikki our class instructor was really good at explaining the details in the painting. Thank you for the help. I look forward to returning. I am definitely planning to do an event here soon.

    I'm pretty fantastic at tracing, cutting paper, coloring, and writing the alphabet by hand. I'm not at all fantastic at drawing or painting. While I won't go so far as to say that I'm suddenly fantastic at painting after taking a class at Paint Along, I will say I'm much more confident and find painting to be really fun now!! A class is usually an hour and a half long and costs $45. BUT, if you check the website on the day of a class and they still have openings available, you will only have to pay $35! You can sign up on their events calendar (http://www.rezclick.com/paintalongny/index.php?flag_menu_index=calendar_php) and choose which painting you'd like to paint. The price includes paints, a canvas, brushes, a wash cup, and an apron (well, you'll only be able to take home the canvas, but it's still a good deal). Each class is BYOB. I usually become red and sleepy after consuming alcohol, so I stayed far away from the bottles of wine being passed around because I wanted to create as good of a painting as I could. My classmates who did drink seemed to have a grand time, though! Paint Along provides plastic cups and bottle openers! The instructor broke down steps in an easy-to-understand manner: she gave very good tips on spacing and shape-making, showed us how to mix paints accurately, painted an example painting for us, and made it clear that we could customize our paintings to our liking. She was very patient and a good multi-tasker, especially because she had to juggle teaching us, refilling paints, and helping those who needed a lending hand (guilty as charged). As Kristen D. mentioned, it may be nice to have an assistant who could help with these tasks, especially when a class is at full capacity. This is an exciting, unique idea for a great date night, some time alone, or with a group of friends. When we all observed our classmates' paintings at the end of class, we were amazed to see how there were little touches of personality here and there in brushstrokes and color choices! Likelihood of another visit: Very likely! I'll be keeping my eye on their events calendar. I kind of sort of probably want to have my birthday party here.

    Amazing one-of-a-kind experience! I came here with my girlfriends on a Saturday and we had such a lovely time. I'm already planning my second visit. Tickets are $45 for the two hour class. I wish class was a little longer bc toward the end felt a little rushed but still had an excellent final piece. It was lots of fun and best part is that it's BYOW. We learned, painted and sipped on wine/champagne. I wish I could do this everyday. The instructor was so friendly, patient and helpful. Afterwards some of us still had wine left and found out there is an Indian place around the corner that's also BYOB so we brought over our bottles and finished them there along with some yummy Indian food. FYI the website shows which paintings they have on what days. You choose the one you like. They have tons of different ones. Perfect Saturday evening, just perfect!

    Paint Along is the perfect outing for a small group who's sick of the same old same old. Let me start this off right-- BYOB. We popped a couple bottles of wine and went for some light sipping, just to get those hyper-critical jitters out of our system. Then it was time for the painting to begin! The instructor was super friendly and made us all feel confident we'd walk out of there with something beautiful. She threw on some music and started the class, walking us through the painting step by step. It was funny to feel everyone hesitate with each new color she told us to throw onto the canvas, and I couldn't help but take a peek around the room to see how my piece compared. Soon enough a really lovely painting was done, all by my hands but not by my inspiration (which I am TOTALLY cool with). I'll definitely be back to Paint Along. Gotta check out their calendar before you schedule; you can pick a day based on the painting. Really a great evening, plus you leave with some sweet art!

    Our final paintings!

    I am no painter. I can't even sketch! But, when one of my coworkers suggested we should do one of these BYOB + painting, I thought, well why not, it's fun... We came here on a Monday night to paint "Dorothy the cow" and I have to say, now, we're picasso! We are going to have an office face off to vote for the best painting! I have to thank our instructor for this wonderful painting I painter (for the first time I'm proud to say, I'll keep this!, in fact, i'm hanging this in my cube tomorrow!) Our instructor helped us step by step and explained to us how to mix colors to get the effect we want. I'm very satisfied. The price is $45 for 2 hours which includes canvas, paint, brushes, apron and instructors. I do have to admit, $45 is a little pricy, and I know a little trick. Apparently if you don't mind the painting, you could come in the day itself (check website/call) as I noticed that it would have cost us $35 if we signed up the same day..... Come and have fun!

    Ash was cool and assisted us when we needed it. Paint Along is basically a paint and Sip. It is best that you come on time to get the full experience in the time allotted. 2 hours sounds like a long time, but once you're near the end, you will probably find yourself wishing you had more time . Paint, paint brushes, pencil, cup of water, plastic bag (for painting) are all provided.

    I took this class to celebrate my good friend's birthday and to have fun with painting. Our teacher Jessie was wonderful. She had lots of patience and guided us through the whole process of our painting experience. We had a awesome time and it was relaxing too. We laughed, we had wine, we had cheese with crackers, we made mistakes along the way but at the end of it all the experience was wonderful. *I highly recommend this class. Don't forget to bring your own bottle and pack some snacks :)

    My boyfriend and I took our first class last night with Ashley, and we had a great time! The minute we walked in the door Ashley was so welcoming. She was a great teacher, patient, and helpful. The painting we completed was a wine bottle, glass and grapes. The deduction in star is because this painting would have been better suited for a three hour class. Although it was simple, it was tedious with all of the grapes, and painting felt slightly rushed. Ashley kindly gave us extra time at the end of class, which we were appreciative of, and every student needed it. All in all, it was a great class, and I can't wait to take another one! Tip: bring some cash, there's paintings for sale for 5-10$!

    Came here on a Friday night on a whim with the girlfriend, and ended up having a great time. Everything you would need for painting (and drinking) is provided and is in great condition. The location was easy to find, and the studio was big enough for a class of 20+. Ashley (instructor) was very engaging, informative, and provided a structured approach to paining a fairly difficult piece for two inartistic novices. She made the class very fun, what with the Mo-Town music playing in the background as well as her advice on canvas. Definitely earned at 5-star rating -- highly recommend this for a date idea.

    I came for a class here the other night to celebrate a friend's birthday. What a different and fun way to spend a night out! I must admit, I am not artistically inclined by any stretch of the imagination. I was super intimidated by the whole idea of this class but I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The instructor was helpful, easy to follow, and patient. My painting even ended up looking half way decent! The BYOB is always cool and adds to the fun. This would be a great way to spend a girls night out or a different way to spend date night. The location is easy to find and convenient. All supplies you need are provided for you. Definitely worth a try!

    Finished piece!

From the moment we walked in, the space had such a chill, artsy atmosphere. The instructor was not only super talented, but also so kind and helpful. He walked us step-by-step through the painting, demonstrating each part on a sample canvas and checking in with everyone as we painted. He kept our mimosa glasses full and refreshed our paint palettes There were also fresh pastries and fruit to nibble on while we painted, and he even helped us take photos and videos throughout the class Whether you're planning a cute date, a girls day out, or just looking for something creative and fun to do in NYC, this is such a unique experience. Highly recommend and yes, I'll be back with more friends soon!

We booked a premium, full-service package for a team-building afternoon, but instead of relaxing, my team spent the entire time stressing, moving boxes, and cleaning up after the staff we hired. We aren't trying to be difficult clients; we simply wanted the service we paid for. Instead, we faced a massive burden: The setup was chaotic and late: For a group our size, the policy is a 40-80 minute setup window. The facilitator didn't show up until 1:33 PM for a 2:00 PM start. Her assistant didn't arrive until after the event started. We were left watching the clock, wondering if our event was even going to happen. We had to manage their logistics: The assistant arrived late and without ID. Since we are in a secure office building, she couldn't get in. Instead of the vendor handling this, my team had to stop what they were doing, leave the event space, and go down to the lobby to retrieve her and haul up the supplies she was carrying. Dismissive attitude: Mistakes happen, but the facilitator's attitude made it worse. She was dismissive about being late and shockingly unhelpful regarding her own assistant's supplies. At one point, when asked about the materials her assistant brought, she refused to help, telling us she "couldn't hang onto that." It felt like we were imposing on her, rather than the other way around. My team did the physical labor: Because they were so behind, the setup wasn't done until 2:30 PM--30 minutes into our paid time. To save the event, my colleagues and I had to step in and physically unpack boxes, set up stations, and distribute materials. We paid for a full-service event but ended up doing the heavy lifting ourselves. Contract issues: We paid extra for the "all new supplies" option so our team could keep their materials. Despite this, the facilitator packed up and took many of the paints and brushes back with her. They walked out on the mess: Despite the event starting late due to their tardiness, the facilitator refused to stay a minute past 4:00 PM. She started aggressively cleaning up while people were still painting, then bolted out the door right at 4:00, leaving us to finish the cleanup and break down the boxes. I cannot recommend this vendor. We paid for a fun, stress-free afternoon and instead received a chaotic experience where we had to work as the setup and cleanup crew.
