    I really enjoyed this class! I went to an event at Boris & Horton and brought my pup and we had so much fun. Michelle was very helpful in helping me navigate the water color and making sure everyone knew what they were doing. I would def recommend to anyone looking to paint their own portrait.

    Wonderful experience! See my other post. Will definitely spread the word and hopefully do this again!

    Easy even with my eyes closed!

    My sister and I went to paint my very elderly poodle, but we are artistically challenged so we were surprised at how nicely our portraits of Kelly turned out! Michelle made it easy, and was clear but not pushy with suggestions as to how to make it look better and better. We started by tracing the outlines she made of my dog from submitted pictures.

    We had such a wonderful time with Michele today! We got lucky and it was just me, my boyfriend, my dog and Michele. The sketches she made were wonderful and she walked us through every step of the painting. Our dog loved sniffing around and we enjoyed sipping beer and painting. Highly recommend! It's a great dog friendly experience :)

    My husband got us a pet portrait night at Boris and Horton for my birthday and it was the BEST gift! We had such a good time! Michele is super talented and helped me every step of the way. I ended up with a beautiful watercolor painting of our pup and this is coming from someone who struggles to draw stick figures. Michele breaks down each step so it isn't overwhelming, but really fun. She's also just really sweet and personable and you can tell she loves the pups, too. We'll definitely do this again and recommend to all our pet parent friends!

    This is such a great dog-friendly activity in NYC! And pet-lovers in general! Michelle is a great instructor and helps bring the picture to life. Whether you are an artist or not you're sure to leave with a fabulous portrait of your pet. Our class was at The Barking Dog which has a great patio. I was able to bring my dog Bowie and he made some new doggie friends and laid by my feet while I painted. I love the painting so much and can't wait to put it on my wall!

    This was such a fun activity! Michele was so helpful in ensuring that our paintings were on track, and provided excellent advice and suggestions. I have zero artistic skills and with her help, my painting came out great! Any activity that combines my love for dogs (and especially my own dog), drinking beers, and a unique diversion like painting is a home run in my book. Book this and you won't be disappointed!

    We had such a great time with Michele! Not only was the painting experience enjoyable, but Michele was very personable and fun to chat with, while also extremely professional in her water color tips and lessons! The materials for the class were all prepared and organized by the time we showed up, and was truly such a fun experience all together! Definitely plan to do this again with friends and new pups! Thank you, Michele!

    Me and a friend of mine went to one of Michele's awesome pet portrait events in Astoria Queens and we had a blast!!! To start I should mention that I am NOT artistic, this definitely isn't something I do often, but it's sooo much fun and you really don't have to come with any background knowledge or abilities! Michele also makes you feel so great along the way and wants you to have a good time! Michele organized the pet portrait event at a doggy cafe where we were also able to bring our dogs with us which was a major plus!! My dog loved being with me and you can see that Michele loves our pets just as much as we do. The sketch she made before our class was beautiful, she did such an incredible job!! She was very patient with us in explaining every step and helping us along the way. I was honestly shocked with my final product but I really did make the entire thing from start to finish and I don't think it would have come out so nicely if it wasn't for Michele. I highly recommend finding one of her next classes and trying it out for yourself!

I came in with 4 different art pieces to frame and had a clear idea of what I wanted, but the owner and framer is also very happy to provide artistic guidance, suggestions, and fast estimates if you need it. I was able to get all my small to medium sized pieces custom framed (with a mix of glass types, ranging from basic and cheap to archival-quality and expensive) for less than $1000, which was spectacular.

I'd give it more stars but what i didnt like was the person who helped me showed me one frame and expected me to take it. It was ok. I asked if she could recommend others. She put one more in front of me that didnt match. So i said can I take a look around. I found the right frame and it was the same price as the first. It was an expensive piece of fine art and I would have expected more interaction w someone who cares about frames. If I didnt push id have gotten one ok frame. In other frame stores ive been to on the upper east side they really take the time to find the right one that goes w your art, your style etc. They ask about your decor, where it will be hung Of course they frame for the Met but still, cant hurt to really care about what you do. So this biz could use a little more of that and then they'd be great. Good selection of frames. Nicely done. Solid wiring on the back. So if you know what you like you'll have no problem.

    While walking in Manhattan you never know who you will meet…read more Such was the case in Midtown East one late summer morning when I spotted a man holding a paint roller extension pole and wearing brightly colored paint-splotched sneakers. It was a chance encounter with this rainbow beam of a person that made me stop in my tracks and take a closer look. I'm so glad that I took that moment because the man wearing those DayGlo kicks is actually a very gifted and multi-talented Urban Artist known as Kam. I asked naively, "What are you going paint?" Kam responded enthusiastically, "I'm on location here working on an interior." This was my introduction to Kam's Art and what piqued my interest in learning more about his work. I began by visiting Kam's Instagram and quickly became amazed at his many artistic expressions and abilities: https://www.instagram.com/kam.s.art/ Viewing Kam's Art I experienced an entire range of emotions from joy to wonderment. Kam's art work is visually entertaining. Then I visited: https://kamsart.myshopify.com/ Here I learned about the variety and quality of the many art pieces Kam produces that includes: Murals, Original Paintings on Canvas, Logos, Table Tops, Digital Art, Wood Panels Art, Mugs, Caps, High Quality Prints, Stickers and more. It was at this point I felt compelled to own a piece of Kam's Art. Kam the Artist is a phenom and get this - he's self-taught! His commitment to the arts and being an artist is truly noble. I became further intrigued when I viewed Kam's interiors work. As Kam puts it he can do "all things walls" including: renovations, tiling, painting, fixtures and floors. You will be blown away by how multi-talented Kam is. Kam, also known as Kelvin Morel, hails from Maspeth, Queens. His paintings are displayed at the Museum of Urban Arts in Long Island City. You will be delighted by the beauty of his murals. Many NYC restaurants and salons feature his work. Kam is also active in arts education for children and is even available to book for live painting events and kid's parties. People connect to Kam's art and kids love him because of his use of color and his passion for painting is apparent! When Kam paints people are drawn to his artwork. He participates in outdoor and indoor arts events throughout the year. Kam chose art as his profession. It can be said that art chose Kam. He has been drawing prolifically since early childhood and has never stopped. Watch this video of Kam's 2-D interior / exterior walls drawing he did by hand for a restaurant opening. I guarantee once you watch this eight-minute video you will become a 'Kam fan!' It's absolutely genius. You will ask yourself - how did he do that? Kam is an original! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHiU9Rv1S9E&feature=youtu.be Warning! Once you have viewed Kam's art you too will experience an urge to own one at least of his art pieces. You will notice that his art has range and is imaginative. Kam's paintings feature faces with soulful eyes, mystical musings, whimsical characters, abstracts, industrials with flair and works with sci-tech currents and more -- all expressed exceedingly well. Kam's Art does what art is meant to do. Viewing his paintings will make you stop what you're doing and take a closer look. You'll be inspired by his creative color displays. Buying a piece of Kam's art is a gift that will last a lifetime and is a worthwhile investment. Plus, Kam ships! Kam's Art Painting LLC is a licensed and insured New York based, residential / commercial, interior/ exterior painting company. He is dedicated to meeting client expectations by delivering excellent service and quality craftsmanship. Reach out to Kam via email here: kampaintingllc@gmail.com.

Why not stop for a moment and take a closer look at Kam's Art? You will be so glad that you did!

I can't speak to how they are…read morecurrently but I attended from 2015-2019 and made many friends here, and it was a great environment to create, whether I was learning wood sculpture or refining my vision as a painter. Most of the instructors were wonderful, offering guidance when I asked and space when I needed it. It is very reasonably priced and remains a true NYC institution. The only instructor I would caution against is Pat Lipsky. I found her conceited and negative, even spiteful at times. If your aesthetics do not align with Immanuel Kant or Clement Greenberg, you may not feel welcome in her class. After she asked me to help set up her studio for a visiting curator, I left the class. From that point on, she refused to acknowledge me when we crossed paths. Still, the overall experience was deeply meaningful. I am grateful for the time I spent here and the ways it shaped my work and friendships.

Passed by this on my way from Columbus circle, and I plan on coming back to try an art class. They have evening and part time schedule of classes, from figure drawing, sculpting, painting, illustration, so there are a lot of options to choose from. Nice historical looking building from the outside.
