Art With a Splash

Pro: The instructors are great. They give you detailed steps so your paintings will come out looking good. It’s a BYOB place, so you don’t have to pay $$ for their alcohol.
Con: They don’t add new paintings to their list of existing ones. I go here a lot and I have done all the ones I’m interested in.

I have been here twice in the past 2 weeks. It is so much fun! Can’t wait to go again!

Come in with your own wine, leave with your own drunken painting!
My friends and I recently kicked off a bachelorette party with a trip to Art with a Splash. We were joined by 2 other groups of ladies celebrating bachelorettes for an afternoon session of wine and painting the NH seacoast.
Jim was a great teacher who put an emphasis on there being no right or wrong way to paint your scene, so long as you’re enjoying it — it was nice to feel like we could make our art without a lot of pressure to get it perfect. For people who did want to aim for something higher, he came around and gave specific advice and/​or touched up paintings himself (only when asked).
It was really fun to see how different people’s paintings turned out. The only downside: no food provided (but we knew this upfront) and the room was a little cramped so it was hard to talk to some of my friends, even during the break. Still, I am now a fan of this kind of painting and would definitely return to this kind of class. Just make sure you make your reservation in advance — these things fill up quickly!
