Paint + Sip: PAINT your PET
Instructor Ivan was kind and helpful, and most welcoming. The time allotted was just about right. Nice small class size allowed for Ivan to give individual attention to participants. I would do this class or a similar class again, but would prefer to find something closer to my home in Costa Mesa. -
Digital Draw
Great instructor! Great class! -
Spooky Eye Oil Painting Workshop

Painting with Watercolors
The Instructor, Izzy, broke down sketching and painting techniques into simple to understand steps that were also easy to execute. Izzy spent a lot of time with each student providing feedback and suggestions. I was amazed at what I was able to produce in just a couple of classes. When asked by friends and family to see my finished pieces I was happy to show them off. -

Wonderful class! Met so many nice people :) -

Painting with Watercolors
Israel is a great teacher. He is very diplomatic, and I like that he teaches the basics and doesn't give too much information to beginners, so they don't get too confused. I have learned a lot from this class as well as his Urban Sketching class. I will definitely continue taking classes taught by him. -

Watercolor/Acrylic Painting
I actually signed up for the class back in June and it was a great way to spend 2 hours on a Wednesday morning. Only myself and another student were present at the class and the teacher was great. The only reason I haven’t returned is because 10am on Wednesdays is an unpredictable time in my week, and I live 25+ minutes away. However, I purchased some of my favorite art supplies at the store it’s hosted within, so I’m grateful for that as well. -
Painting with Watercolors

Paint + Sip: Island Breeze
FANTASTIC!! I was surprised to be the only student. I was even more surprised the instructor was willing to continue with the class. What it ended up doing was give me, selfishly, personalized instruction. It also gave me the opportunity to switch up the colors of the project. What a fun way to spend a Saturday evening. I will definitely be taking more virtual paint classes from Brushstrokes + Beverages!! -

A lovely calm peaceful location to help us all relax and enjoy the day together! I enjoyed it so much I’ve signed up for her retreat later this year! Thanks Kathy!! -
Studio Brush Painting
Nan is a great instructor. She started out the class with a quick 10 minute demonstration and the rest of the time was working on your own with her dropping by to give pointers. There are lots of regular students and they were friendly and happy to give advice as well. Apparently, each session is devoted to a different flower, so I'll definitely be back to learn some more. -
