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.

From the owner: My name is Bebe Landers of Bebe Landers Art Studio and I am a professional artist residing in…read moreLaguna Beach, CA. 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."

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.

(We painted the surf shack at Windnsea.) And It's really affordable - $35 includes everything. Paint, canvas, hors d'oeuvres... EVERYTHING! (Other places in the area aren't all inclusive.) It's a really fun night and something different to do in San Diego. For either a girls night out, date night, private party or group outing like we did, I highly recommend it!

She brought everything day of from table cloths to aprons, and all the painting supplies. We had a large group of 16 very excited 6-7yr old girls so they were a lot to calm down so they could hear the instructions. But they had sooo much fun and were very proud of their designs! The design we did was perfect for their age and skill level and fit within the timeframe we wanted to finish in. I walked by a few kids during the event saying "this is so much fun!" I would highly recommend for kids or adults! But if you have a large group of littles like me, just know you should be hands on to help with their focus or anything else so Stephanie can focus on the lesson! She did walk around and help but we had a large group and I think it was helpful we had a couple parents walking around to keep us on our timeline!
