Talking to the artist I just ran into. Preface: I don't know jack about art. I went to my first art opening 2 years ago at DiverseWorks as apart of my job. Then someone invited me to an Art League opening. I've missed very few shows - like 2 - since then. It's a step up from your friend's friend's 'gallery' that you really don't get - but it isn't someplace you're going to go and talk art theory and your favourite artists from the 18th century. Or event 21st century. It's local. It's fun. It's free.

I traveled from Austin to Houston for a 3 day workshop at W-ASH. it was totally worth the trip…read morejust to discover how wonderful the space and people are. The people were very nice and welcoming and the event was well organized and communication was excellent! The venue was the best I've experienced any where. I've attended a lot of workshops and classes and gir in instructions and demos all students are usually tightly clustered around the presenter trying to get a view of what is happening. Even though I'm a taller person I'm usually unsuccessful and find myself craning my neck and bobbing around as those in front adjust their positions. Very frustrating! But not here!!! You have the option to do that or you can stay at your OWN 6 foot table and watch one of the 3 huge screens the demonstrator is projected upon. There's a W-ASH person managing the camera zooming in and out on the work or the pallet and sometime both. It works really well. And if there's a new tool involved sometimes the artist will demonstrate for fewer people again and again. The space is truly amazing. Parking was easily had on the street. Note: the elevator is out but is being worked in. The workshop is up one flight of stairs. oh.... and downstairs! there's a gallery showcasing watercolor works and there's a sales area too. Great place! so glad I took the effort to get there! And my work from the workshop didn't turn out too bad either! I hope to go back!

I love Watercolor Art Society-Houston! It's a great community where watermedia artists and…read moreenthusiasts can exhibit paintings in the gallery at the monthly judged shows, take art classes, buy art, and find mentorship from award winning artists.

The instructors are very nice and helpful. You get an intro and two hours to complete & glaze your piece. They fire your pieces for you, and I've never been disappointed with the outcome. They've recently started doing handbuilding 6-week series that I wish I could be apart of, but unfortunately as of now it's on Sundays in the middle of the day, and I frequently work weekends during that time. If they offered a weekday handbuilding series, I would be all over that like white on rice.

Absolutely LOVED this! I was gifted a private class for my birthday and truly had such a fun time…read more Angie was such a great instructor, very informative & so personable.

Right when you walk in, it feels like instant fun. The host was pleasant and got my daughters set up right away with plastic bibs and shoe booties to protect your clothes. She also confirmed what size canvas they wanted. I left at that point because although I paid for the experience, it was for the 2 girls. I can tell you fun happened that day. They came out bubbling about how good a shot one was and how it was so much fun and how they got to paint on the walls after they spun the canvas. They will go back in a few days to pick up their painting after it fully dries. There is a few different experiences that you can do so I'm sure my girls will be back!

Went for Valentines day and my partner and I enjoyed our experience. Immediately greeted when we…read moreentered and automatically felt like in a new art world. We were assisted with confirming our art piece and selecting the colors. We were able to put on protective gear and get started right away. The staff were very helpful during the process and ensured our paints were full. I enjoyed being in our own space, away from others. one thing I wish I could compare more is the price ($80 per person). We did the smaller bears and other locations have it starting at $50. I understand things cost money, but that was pretty steep, in my opinion, for an experience that lasted all of 15 minutes.

The dude that works here is super helpful and always has suggestions if you're not sure what exactly you need. Cost wise, I don't think it's cheap, but the prices are all fair.

The prices are very high. And for the price, I made some assumptions I shouldn't have. Send your…read morekiddo to just have fun and have some visual learning about some classic/famous art pieces. (every "lesson" is based on a famous piece of art and/or artist - then the kids do step-by-step guided rendition of that particular work.) Don't send your kiddo if they're artistically inclined and they want to learn and create. There's very slim "creating" in this setting. So it really depends upon your kids' needs!!!

The intuitive painting class is not about cookie cutter techniques, nor perfect art composition - it truly is about allowing your own creativity to surface. When I arrived I was taken by the wonderful atmosphere in Cherie's studio. Everywhere you turned there was something else that was interesting and fun to look at. Cherie herself made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. I was amazed at how quickly the weekend passed and how re-charged I felt at the end. I look forward to signing up for more of Cherie's classes through out the year.
