Elite Event at Creative Juice

This Elite event hit it out of the ballpark! Everything about it was unbelievably fun. Bella pulled together a really wonderful event, from the tasty little treats from Renee’s Organic Oven, to the little Unilocal Wineglasses, and the wonderful instruction from the Owner of Creative Juice.
When we arrived, we were welcomed warmly by everyone, and selected our places. We received one drink ticket, so my friend and I grabbed a glass of tasty Pinot Noir and then snagged some delicious little nibbles. The pita and hummus were SO good — the hummus was brightened with some lemon and very savory with garlic. It was seasoned perfectly. Another standout was the caprese mozzarella salad with the tomato slices. Yum! The mozzarella was fresh and had a light, delicate flavor. The mini chocolate cupcakes were definitely delicious too!
The painting of the evening was of Dove Mountain. The instructor/​owner is a GREAT teacher — she gives you very easy to follow directions, and demonstrates. This is definitely something that someone who has zero experience can come in and feel great about their finished product.
One of the coolest things about her class is that she allows you to have the freedom to use her painting as a guideline — I saw someone using a completely different color palate, and others were adding in additional cacti or omitting clouds. Everyone had a «Dove Mountain» painting at the end, but it was wonderful to see how everyone interpreted the directions in their painting.
This is definitely a place that is worth coming back to — the girl that I brought with me and I are wanting to do a «girls night» here once we figure out which painting we want to do next!
Thank you, Bella, Renee’s Organic Oven, and Creative Juice, for an unforgettable evening!

I loved this super unique Unilocal Elite event! We had such a fun time attempting to recreate a lovely painting of Dove Mountain while enjoying a glass of wine in our custom Unilocal wine glasses courtesy of the owners of Creative Juice and some delicious treats from Renee’s Organic! I am pretty terrible when it comes to anything artistic but with the instructors clear directions and tips I brought home a painting I may actually hang up in the house (although probably in a dark corner just in case). I loved that some people were encouraged to be creative and use different colors or add their own flair but if you were less adventurous it was easy enough to paint exactly as the example was. It’s like paint by number but so much more fun!
I would love to come back with my honey for a date night where you each paint a canvas and at the end they come together to form one picture. They also have lots of other fun events for kids, etc.
The food from Renee’s was a wonderful addition to the night. I loved the Caesar salad lettuce leaves. A super unique take on the traditional salad that made it easier to eat as a finger food. My other favorites were the caprese salad, delicious pita bread (seemed homemade to me… Should have asked though!) and the meatballs (the sauce was so fresh and flavorful!).
Thanks to Bella, Creative Juice, Renee’s and my fellow Unilocalers for a fun eventing to get out creative juices flowing!

This was a really fun and creative night! At first I was wondering how we will all end up painting something very similar, but as the class begun, I realized that this was easier than painting by numbers!
The best thing of all is that they do not push you to do it exactly as they are telling you. They encourage people to try their own style and to explore outside of the guidelines.
My painting ended up having a different shade on the mountains and a bit of a change in the location of the plants, and I added a beautiful blooming Ocotillo that was not in the painting they suggested to do.
All in all, we had a lot of fun and will look forward to our next creative juice night!

What a blast! I’ve always wanted to do one of these painting class things. They have them back in my hometown (I’m from Austin), but I didn’t even realize there was one right here in Tucson! I grabbed a girlfriend to go with me and we had an absolute blast! The food was awesome (could not get enough of the goat cheese/​pear thingies? omg, what were those!?), and the class was fun! Plus, we painted a really cool scene (Saguaro desert landscape) that is currently hanging on my wall. When I got home and showed it to hubs he was super impressed and couldn’t believe I’d done it by myself. But, I’m telling you — anyone could do it! The instructions were so easy to follow and broken down step-​by-​step. I’ll definitely be doing this again — great Girls’ Night activity!

What a unique and fun event! We got to channel our inner Bob Ross, sip on beer and wine, and enjoy delicious bites from Renee’s Organic Oven.
The instructor who led our painting experience was great. I have zero artistic talent, and while I’m still no Picasso, my final painting wasn’t half bad.
I’ve been to a wine/​painting studio before, but it was pretty tiny and cramped. I loved how big and open Creative Juice was.
I’m definitely looking forward to heading back to try some of their other paintings!

Had a BLAST!!! The instructor guided us step-​by-​step with our paintings, and we were able to sip on our drinks as we painted. Renee’s Organic Oven also provided us with light bites. The atmosphere was light and fun and everyone was definitely enjoying themselves.
Thank you Bella, Renee’s Organic Oven and Creatice Juice for a fabulous evening!

I’ve painted before… more like painted along the lines of a Kindergartner’s talent. This was different– I actually felt like I made progress on my Picasso! The instructor was detailed and well paced. I learned different techniques that I could use when painting at home. It was such a great time and they hosted us very well. The wine was a fun touch and Renee’s Organic Oven catered some tasty treats. I think everybody was impressed with their paintings and that was really cool! This was one fun Elite Event! I will definitely do this type of event for a girls night out or date!

Phe-​nom-​e-​nal! I bet I didnt spell that right but I dont care! I had such a great time last night I was happy to try a place out on the east side I had only seen at other Unilocal events. For those of you who dont know, this is a wine and painting studio. This is one of the bigger studios Ive seen with this concept, plenty of space to bring all your friends. The atmosphere last night was fab from the moment I walked in the door. Greeted by our awesome CM and then the owner Kristina.
Nom Nom eats served by Renee’s Organic Oven, they said it was just going to be munchies but I was so full! After a ful belly and some wine, it was painting time!
Get your hand dirty and dont worry if you can only paint with your fingers! Everyone tried thier best to recover th inner artist in them and eveyone did an awesome job. The time went by too fast and next thing we all knew it was almost 30 min past the event end time. Thats what you get when you mix good people, good food, and a great new place to bring your friends or date!
The location of the event was ont he east side yay and I was able to chit chat with some fellow elites that I had only met online. SUch a super fun time sitting across from Michelle G and her other half. My guest and I had a wonderful time and I may have gotten my guest to join Unilocal and pass the word along!
Thanks Bella and Unilocal Tucson, xoxo!

SO MUCH FUN! I have never painted before. No. That was a lie. I was trying to save my dignity. I have painted before. It became abruptly apparent that may talents lie elsewhere and I gave up. I always had fun, but never actually kept anything.
I went to this event thinking my painting would be hideous, but I would have a lot of fun, as I do at all Unilocal events. I was wrong! The people at Creative Juice actually got me to paint a pretty pretty picture!
We got to paint Dove Mountain, but they have other painting classes on their website, and I cannot wait to be back! My aunt saw the paintings that my mother and I did and is currently planning a day that a bunch of our family can go together.
Bella, this night was so much fun! I had a blast, and my mom and I are so happy that we were able to channel Monet!

WHAT A FUN EVENT!!! I have been wanted to try this for YEARS! And I am so grateful to have been able to attend! Both of the owners were great host and made it very easy to follow the painting instructions. Renee’s Organic bites were AMAZING as well! I really enjoyed the meatball so flavorful I kind wish I was just on a full plate of pasta YUM!
Thanks again Bella and Unilocal for great evening FIVE stars all way!

Wow, what a fun night! I was definitely stepping out of my comfort zone when I RSVP’ed for this event. I am not the least bit artistic, but my painting came out pretty impressive if I may toot my own horn. The hubby and I would have never thought about doing something like this on our own, so we really appreciate this new idea to get out and have fun.
Thanks to the great, simple instruction every person can become an artist! Thank you Bella for coordinating this great event, thank you Renee’s Organic for the yummy bites! We are already talking about bringing the kids back for a fun family day.
