We bought a Living Social certificate for this event, and attended the painting session. Yulia was…read morevery nice and certainly is passionate for the arts! Her work is really beautiful, and she's excited about painting which made it fun. That is why I gave her 3 stars. The negatives were that the venue is truly a wine bar- not a painting studio, call me "old"- but the tables are so low it's not a good position to be sitting in for several hours. As well, Yulia's phone rang throughout the whole session (completely unprofessional), and at times she took the calls and stepped away from the teaching. Additionally, she was up and down the stairs and in and out of the back room throughout the whole session. Seemed as though she had better things to do than teach our class. I understand it's a startup, and I'm very much in support- but from the outside perspective it seems she's trying to do too much at once instead of focusing her effort on making her customers' experience a good one. I don't plan on going back, but do wish Yulia the best, and believe if she focuses on her current customers her future customers will come!

I don't generally recommend this place. I've been to SEVERAL different paint and sip businesses…read moreduring my travels and non have had worse customer service than this place. I understood their cancellation policy fairly well, but what they don't tell you is that it only works for the specific location that you originally booked through and that it's not transferable to anywhere else. It also is only applicable on reservations and cannot be used for merchandise or drinks. I had friends cancel on me at the last minute (about 48 hrs beforehand) and did my best to use the rest of the credits in a timely manner, but being only a temporary resident my options were limited. They mention that it can be transferred to another person (newsflash I was later told it can't) and that they never expire (interesting considering their policy states it's only good for one year - apparently I read the policy better than the jerk on the phone). I understand it's a business and they have to make money, but at some point there's a balance between consumer and business and these guys definitely haven't found it. It's disappointing because the couple of classes I was able to attend were great, but their self-serving policy with little to no wiggle room and their poor customer service have made it so that I'm highly unlikely to ever attend any of their locations ever in the future.

Went Wednesday night with a friend to "paint your pet". You…read moreemail them a photo of your pet, they sketch it on canvas, and you paint it! It's one of the best classes I've seen out there since the painting is so personalized. It's also a bit more expensive than other classes because of the extra work that goes into it ($50). I think this class is better suited for people who have painted a couple times, or more. Next time I'll try a class where we're all painting the same thing, so it's harder for me to mess up. When all the pets look so different, it's hard for them to help you mix paint colors and walk you through every step. Some of the paintings were AMAZING and you could definitely tell these people had inherent artistic skills. People were looking at mine and smiling politely... haha. My painting is no masterpiece, but it sorta-kinda looks like Izzy. My fiance laughed at it when he saw it, but it was the first painting I've ever done! The instructor was helpful, and she went around to everyone giving them pointers and tips. The class included a drink, and they had little appetizers (mini meatballs, cheese, crackers, grapes, peanut M&M's!!!!!, hummus). It's a really cute space, and a fun thing to do with friends. Definitely recommend! P.S. There is a garage with free parking right behind the studio.

Art on the Brix has a really cool "open studio" on Tuesdays (less than $30). I had a great time…read morethere, the owners were very accomodating. It was a very relaxing experience, totally open-minded, and a lot of fun! Highly recommended to anyone in the greater Denver area for a visit to try the "open studio". I was surprised that the cost was so low when let you take your canvas with you, which is moderately sized. This would be an absolute blast to come with a group of ~10 people. They have a "paint your date/mate" night - where you can do a portrait of the person you come with. Sounds like a blast - I fully hope to get back there. Beer/wine is available for purchase too, at less than restaurant prices. My only complaint, is that it's hard to find. If you enter from the main street, there's minimal street presence. There's a small sign out front, so don't look for a large window near their address. You need to follow down a hallway before you arrive at the studio. I think it's possible to get there faster from the back side of the studio? Anyway - give yourself time when trying to find the studio. I was surprised to see that other reviews posted were less positive. Reaction to other reviews: --"better suited for someone with painting experience": I've never painted before, and was entirely not intimidated by the environment. I felt no qualms trying funky patterns! --"cancelled birthday party": this definitely sounds like a nightmare. My experience was very unstructured (dropping in to an open studio), so this was not a problem. The staff was very friendly and provided help whenever needed.

I attended a Yelp elite painting class here and it was so much fun…read more They offer a huge schedule of art classes in all different mediums. I am planning to do some drawing and possibly more painting over the Summer. They offer kids classes too. We used water colors as the base today and she started by teaching several techniques, which was incredibly helpful once we started our abstract pieces. We also used pastels on top, which I thought added a really cool texture to my work. The teacher made each part seem so simple, everyone in the class was able to make something really beautiful. So much fun! Go check it out.

Being that the event was on a Saturday the parking lot was relatively empty so I didn't have to find street parking, but I did notice many of my classmates found street parking. No one complained do it must have been easy. The class was small and intimate with 8 of us present. The instructor Karin introduced us to the Art Students League of Denver, the offerings, and some history. We went around the room and discussed everyone's level of experience and interests. She really listened and worked to tailor our experience based on our responses. Each seat was set up with the materials we needed and we started off with introductory stitches. After an hour we focused on our Art piece and near the end of class picked up remaining supplies to finish our work at home. 10 mins before leaving we all did stretching exercises and cleaned up the room. I'd recommend attending if others are interested in learning something new or expanding their skill set.
