Great instructor, cool music, and my painting turned out good too. I will come again!

My wife and I had a ball! The instructor was great, he made you feel really comfortable with not knowing how to paint. The music was good as well.

I wasn't a fan of the instructor. Rather than a fun creative experience, he turned it into a high school art class. He enforced a rigid schedule, so that you had to take a break at a certain time, whether you were in the same step of your painting as he was or not. A lot of the class wasn't and there was significant grumbling from about half the people at the table, which just led to the instructor tersely telling us to stop painting. By the time he let us back, maybe 15 or 20 minutes later, not only had the paintings all dried, so that you couldn't keep working on whatever you had been doing before, but the paint on the palettes was dry too. It made no sense - why did every student (or any student...) have to be away from the table for him to change out our water...? He was also weirdly militaristic about supplies, and basically yelled at another girl for using too many paper towels. For the high price of the class, I expect to be able to do pretty much whatever I want, and have an instructor help as needed. Bob Ross's youtube channel will teach you to paint for free - the value of the class is in the experience not the instruction. I do not expect to be treated like a high school student with 100 rules. I've been to other paint and sip style classes and never had an experience like this - it was always very creative and easy going. I only gave it 3 stars because it was by far the prettiest painting I have seen in one of these classes, and with his instruction, we were able to replicate it reasonably well. But I will definitely not return to Uncork'd Art. I'd rather have more fun at one of their competitors' classes, and come home with a less pretty painting.
