    What is not to love about Paint Nite? You get to paint beautiful pictures (with no previous painting experience) and you get to drink your beverage of choice, which only helps the creative process! I had originally made my reservation for a different painting, but it was cancelled. That's fine with me because there are so many different paintings to choose from and ones that I want to paint. I emailed Paint Nite with my new selection and they re-reserved myself and my friend. It was very easy. When you arrive, you give the assistant your name and they give you a smock. I highly recommend that you arrive early because you will want to sit somewhere with good lighting and seats go fast. Typically, I arrive at least 20 minutes ahead of time. There are always at least a handful of people that have already arrived and selected their seats. One of my previous Paint Nites, I was one of the last people to arrive and I had to sit where there wasn't a lot of lighting. It makes the experience a little more challenging. Additionally, arriving early gives you time to order a drink prior to starting. The painting itself is very easy. The instructors are so helpful in breaking down the steps so that you have a masterpiece when you are finished. My friends were very concerned because, like myself, they had no painting experience. They even contemplated bringing a pencil to outline everything! That is not necessary. You can't really see it, but most of the time you draw shapes and connect them. Super easy! You can also change up the color scheme or modify your painting how you want. This is such a great experience. I have gone with a group of people and I have also gone by myself. I always have so much fun. I recommend that everyone should try this at least once.

    Fun and inviting dining room of the Park Plaza Gardens restaurant

    Such a fun experience! Our Paint Nite location was the Park Plaza Gardens restaurant in Winter Park, and our instructor was the charming and funny Emma. We were provided with all the materials, including the paint smock. I have no idea how to paint, but the instructions were clear and simple. Emma have through a microphone as she painted along, which definitely helped. The room itself was beautiful. Emma and her assistant were super friendly, walked the room to offer guidance and encouragement. As the evening progressed, it would have been nice to have a bit more lighting. We were provided with menus. Some folks ate, most everyone had drinks. The instructors do appreciate a tip at the end. Participants assist with the cleanup process by turning in their supplies at the front table. While my painting will probably end up behind my sofa or under my bed, I am already looking forward to the next Paint Nite event!!

    I did two from Groupon. One in February at Wine Scene in WPB and one in March at Purgreens in Boca. I love Wine Scene and it was a great location for the class. Small class but was a nice night outside and a fun hour of planting. The one at Purgreens was outside as well and had a large group. The class was almost 25mins late because 2 ppl hadn't arrived and so I started because I already had an idea of what to do and I only had 2hour parking. So I went ahead and she wasn't too happy about that - oops. I really like my terrariums. They're growing!

    All the supplies were nicely set up 30 minutes before start time

    Went to my first paint nite event tonight! Perfect girls night!! My friends and I purchased a groupon for the company, then went to their site and chose the date, location and painting that worked for all of us. They offer classes all over Orange, Osceola and Seminole county. This one was hosted at Harry Buffalos and the instructor was Megan Macgregor. They provide a canvas, plate with paints, brushes and smock at each seat. The instructor has a completed painting set up and then she leads the class step by step on a new one, while speaking over a wireless headset. She also walked around and gave helpful hints. We took a ten minute break halfway through and the whole process took just over 2 hours. There were also two helpers walking around giving you fresh supplies and taking pictures which were uploaded to Facebook within an hour of me being home! Some tips: -arrive about 30 minutes early, especially if you want to save seats for a group -bring a few dollars cash for tips for the instructors after, I wish I had known this ahead of time because they did an awesome job - there isn't much room on the table with the art supplies set up, so don't expect to eat while you're doing this

    Renaissance Hotel lobby

    I recently surprised my wife with reservations for Paint Nite (this particular class taking place at the Renaissance Hotel across from Sea World). We both really enjoyed it. The instructor was clear and helpful and had a good sense of humor. She'll even tell you your painting looks good, when it clearly does not. The bar at the Renaissance took drink orders throughout the event, and they offered food although I don't know if anyone ordered anything -- the space between the easels was pretty small and didn't give us a whole lot of room. We had such a good evening that we were planning the next time almost immediately. Check Groupon before getting tickets, and plan ahead -- some of the classes can sell out pretty far in advance. We had only one complaint, which was not really the fault of Paint Nite: the Renaissance Hotel lobby is naturally lit, and it started to get dark less than halfway into the event. By the time we reached the halfway mark, everyone was using their cellphone lights to see what they were doing. Lights were set up on tripods to help out, but they were far too few in number and too low in power. If this venue continues to be in the rotation, I'd recommend that Paint Nite invest in more and better lighting to allow painters to see what colors they're mixing up. :)

    I had a great date nite with my husband we went to one of their paint nites at a local restaurant, it was all set up for us they had everything we needed and it was happy hour also so we had a great deal on drink.

    It was my friends birthday and wanted to keep it pretty low key. She decided on Paint Nite being held at Bar Louie. I've done something like this in the past and I must say that my experience was very different. Although our instructor was good and informative, I found myself lost on a few steps. Sometimes it was hard to hear( no fault of his), the room was dark (again not his fault), and when he would show the steps on the canvas, those of us on my side of the room couldn't see what he did because he would inadvertently block our view as he painted. During one of our breaks, I walked up to the bar to order a drink and was told that we have a server. We had been there for 45 minutes already and never saw them. I guess someone went to get it because all of a sudden he was here. After it was all said and done, our paintings didn't come out as bad as we thought. It was a fun time and we had a blast with the new friends we met at our table. I just think that maybe if it would have been held at another venue, the experience could have been better.

Our sushi was delicious and I am so excited to try to replicate the recipes at home and build on our roll skills. Chef Lyndsey was thoroughly prepared, offered guidance where needed, and made us feel like sushi masters by the end of the evening!

    While Chef Mark was a pleasant and personable individual, this was absolutely not a cooking class…read more-- it was a demonstration at best. The "class" was held in the middle of a busy pub where music was playing, customers were talking and laughing, and people were actively playing darts and pool. There was no microphone, so we could barely hear the instructor. Calling this a class under those conditions is completely misleading. We were expected to roll dough on small high-top pub tables, which was impractical and uncomfortable. Due to the setup, we couldn't even clearly see the sauce being made. There was no structured, hands-on instruction -- just trying to catch bits and pieces of what was happening in a loud bar environment. To make matters worse, the finished pasta was served in a small Styrofoam bowl with a plastic fork -- not even a napkin provided. The dish itself was bland and underwhelming. This experience was given as a gift, which makes it even more embarrassing. It felt disorganized, misleading and like a complete waste of money. A cooking class should be interactive, educational and conducted in an environment where participants can actually hear and learn -- not in the middle of a noisy pub during business hours. Extremely disappointing. Not at all what we expected. Update: Received no direct message

Sonja explained the process simply in the way only an expert could. I needed advice on my earrings, and she helped me add a pop of green. Sonja was very informative, friendly, and encouraging. She managed people working on different steps or different speeds well. I never felt rushed during the process. Some people were back at class for a second time, and there were a lot of new people. There were eight people in this class. You got to make two necklaces, two pairs of earrings, or one of each. I made one of each. She had gold and silver colors. I only looked at silver, but she had teardrop earrings and pendants and circle earrings and pendants, some small and some large. For the decoration, she had a lot of different flowers, leaves, gems, and glitter, what looked like stickers but were probably not, and other items. She let us take pictures of the products she used in the workshop (ex. the brand of resin she used). It's a lovely shop with a lot of lovely products to buy but also no pressure to buy. I did end up buying some coin dishes for my desk though and a book. You can bring food, and I did. Autumn and Ro is located between Florida Wax House and Glass Orlando, and there is free parking in the back. They're right across from Santiago's Bodega. 10/10 would recommend. They also do a bunch of other classes as well.

To name a few, the store has clothing, candles, soaps, jewelry, paintings, and pottery. Many of the items are handcrafted or painted by different artists. I could tell she cared about the artists because she talked a bit about them and their work. There was some paintings of motions of water on canvas and necklace pendants. The store newly opened just about 4 months ago, so I am glad I walked by this store on accident.
