Brush Party is about making art fun. It’s where people of all ages and abilities can come and discover their artistic side. Most people don’t believe in their own creativity when it comes to art, but Brush Party is about to change that. Our fun step-by-step approach makes painting easy.

You don’t need to have ever painted before to come to one of our events. Take a look at our calendar and choose the artwork you’d like to recreate. We walk our guests through creating their own version of our theme in easy to understand stages. You will be amazed at what you can achieve whilst having fun with friends, online or at our popular locations throughout the UK.

Tracey • Apr 2024

Thoroughly enjoyable, really good teacher and assistant. They made you feel relaxed and comfortable as well as being fun for a total non-painter and I was extremely pleased with my end result, as was my sister who I had purchased as surprise birthday gift. They made is seem so simple and easy to follow. Looking at the blank canvas my first thoughts were mine will never look like that - but it did

We would certainly do another class and receommend.

Maria • Apr 2024

My first class in Denham painting Cherry Blossom - really enjoyed the evening and will be back. The teacher was great I just wished it was at a slightly slower pace but it was my first time. All the materials were set out for you and the venue was warm and cosy. Excellent value for money - enjoyed a large glass of wine whilst creating a pretty good painting. Meeting and chatting with all the lovely people that attened was a bonus and we all created something beautiful to take home. Whats not to likegive it a go

Gill Worsdall • Apr 2024

All very good, venue was good, instructors were great & very helpful.

One of the best bits was that all the materials were provided and laid out for arrival.

Very good value for money.

Laura Harrison • Apr 2024

It was good fun, good value and so satisfying to leave with a painting. I would procrastinate too much about doing a painting at home so it was good to have all the set up done and the pace set for me. I’m keen to do it again.

Anita (Joanna) • Apr 2024

Great evening at brush party Klimt's cat at the Oak Aston Clinton.

Welcoming and well organised. We were taught well and helped and encouraged where needed.

A very relaxing, creative time. Thank you x

Francesca Facer • Apr 2024

Fantastic class, first time having Jordan teach us and found he was very easy to follow and he was helpful and informative. Throughly enjoyed the evening.

Mrs Susan Budden • Apr 2024

This was an amazing & wonderful experience! Our teacher was brilliant & talked us thru each stage of the painting.

All the materials were provided & it was a lovely & local venue.

Susan Ali • Apr 2024

First time drawing on a canvas and it was amazing couldn't believe I could produce such a beautiful drawing.
Everything was lovely from the staff to the environment to the place.
Will definitely do it again.

Elizabeth Hunter • Apr 2024

I had a very enjoyable evening trying to paint. The music was excellent.
The teachers were very friendly and helpful.
The venue was pleasant.

Carol Moor • Apr 2024

I apologised for missing a dance class, but I was going to paint a picture in a pub, and some of my fellow classmates said they would like to do that! So here we are! We all did our thing, following lots of the instructions most of the time, and we all had a pleasant evening together. It was quite a small, more intimate group and you really lose sight of the fact that you are even in a pub, apart from when you refresh with a sip from your pint! I never have enough time and I never really "get" the techniques, but I've done a few of these now and I can see what I shall politely call "my own style" emerging. Keen to have a go at home on my own now

Really enjoyable class with easy to understand instructions. I surprised myself with the end result and that shows what a wonderful teacher we had. Thanks for a fabulous evening

Judit Kanti • Apr 2024

Very good.such a great experience.went as a group of 8.loved every second of it.

Danielle Webb • Apr 2024

Super night out! Highly recommended!
Everything was really well-organised, the brushes felt like good quality — I’m a non-painter, so all I can say is I wasn’t frustrated with errant bristles or bushy-ness. It was really fun at the end to see how different yet similar everyone’s painting looked. Loved the venue — it was a pub that offered brilliant bakes. They just need to step up their coffee game with a bit of decaf for the night!

Suzanne Warren • Apr 2024

Brilliant fun with a very patient but talented teacher! She made everything simple but entertaining and achievable. It was a firmly lovely way to spend an evening.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Too quick paced, was very stressful, found myself constantly behind struggling with colour mixing then proportions on the canvas it was quite loud, which I understand can't be controlled however made it very over stimulating with the stress of try to work out what was going on

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

The Blossom Bay painting was the third or fourth time we have attended Brush Party. While we enjoy painting these pictures and are glad the classes are so popular, we find that the Bicester events are often a bit overbooked and this makes it a bit of a struggle for the teacher to reach everyone. It’s often not made clear that the teacher’s canvas is bigger than ours which can lead to some issues with perspective, and I sense that the paints used in the display pictures are not the same as we are given, as they often have colours that are probably unachievable with the paint we have. The assistants are often on their phones and have to be flagged down for extra supplies - it would be nice if they were more pre-emptive and attentive to this.

Nicola Nash • Apr 2024

Fun family event! We all loved it! Good venue but a little chilly! Instructor was great and went at a perfect pace

Katie Bavin • Apr 2024

I am so pleased I went to this session. It took me out of my comfort zone but I am delighted with what I produced. The teacher was kind and attentive and her instructions were clear and well paced I did lack a little space on the table but it wasn’t too much of a problem. I would definitely recommend

Caroline Brain • Apr 2024

Great teacher and helpers. I enjoyed spending ghe evening doing something I love with friends

Alison Birchall • Apr 2024

My friends and I had a great evening at this event. The instructors were friendly and helpful and gave really clear guidelines for us to follow. Highly recommend it!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Great art class. The teacher was lovely but when painting stood in front of painting so was difficult to see what she was doing, I don't feel there were enough pictures around the room to look at for reference. Other than that we had a great night. Water really needs changing in the break interval and more napkins provided.

Lira Sangar • Apr 2024

Very pleased with fantastic evening!
Thank you for this opportunity to paint!

Very popular in Bicester

Kathryn Browne • Apr 2024

My third visit and really enjoyed it. My only negative comment was that we had a 25 min break and the last part if the evening felt a, bit rushed as a result.

Kate Thorpe • Apr 2024

Great event painting the fancy fix in Bicester. Venue was well set up, albeit a little chilly, teacher was clear, fun and very encouraging. Pace was good and it was good to do something different in the school holidays

Shivani Shah • Apr 2024

Such a fun activity to do as a group, as a couple, as friends or on your own! Following and keeping up with the teacher was an experience to be had - she was very good at explaining exactly what to do next and how to do it and what we as the painters should be expecting it to look like. Fun night out and was in a local area which was nice as we went straight after work and didn't need to travel far for a fun activity! Would 100% recommend this experience!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Brilliant class and the teacher and assistant were really good and encouraging. Great atmosphere and was amazed our paintings turned out how they should. Well worth having a go.

Clare Duignan • Apr 2024

Booked with my niece for a giggle and we had that. Very easy to follow instructions and learnt how to mix colours and produced a surprisingly good effort.

Helen Drummond • Apr 2024

The teacher was really good, so friendly and encouraging. Venue was excellent, could hear everything and we had all the materials and plenty of extras if we needed them. A lovely evening out

Litsa Worrall • Apr 2024

What a great evening, painting, meeting people, we had a marvellous time. Excellent venue for us.

Caroline Slide • Apr 2024

Very friendly pleasant helpful staff.
Paint and brushes and apron provided. Venue was a bit chilly but well organised. Great evening out with friends.

Hannah Dooley • Apr 2024

This was a family session and we took our two little girls (5&6). They suggest 7 and up but leaves it to your discretion - both our girls love art so we thought we’d give it a go and they LOVED it! The teacher was fantastic with the children and made them feel really special. It was a wonderful experience and we had everything we needed. We often do the adult classes (also brilliant) but this was our first family session - we will definitely be returning. Thanks so much!

Siobon Herring • Apr 2024

I loved the painting and the hosts were lovely, but it would’ve been much more enjoyable had it been warmer! We were really cold, and the temperature meant that the paint didn’t dry so it caused problems with colours running, and layering and correcting… meaning that the finished work wasn’t quite what I’d hoped it would be.

Lottie Hedges • Apr 2024

Great fun, a lovely way to spend an evening, good value for money, will definitely recommend to my friends!

Hannah Robertson • Apr 2024

Really great activity to do with my son. Something different than your average holiday club. Was great that parents could join on or the venue meant that some were working on a nearby table.
The teacher was brilliant - so friendly and excellent with my self critical 7 year old. She chatted to him to find out what he didn't like and then showed him how to improve it without once implying that he'd done something wrong or badly.
The venue was great with the outside space for kids. After 90 mins of painting, the bouncy castle was much appreciated! Definitely good value for money.

Rachelle • Apr 2024

Incredible class and so much fun! We took my sister who has learning disabilities and they were so accommodating. This doesn’t happen in activities like this often so it felt so nice to see she was able to access.
The teacher was really friendly and helpful too! We would definitely come back.

Jen Wylie • Apr 2024

We had a great time painting wistful waters at the Stag pub in Ascot. The instruction given was easy to follow and the atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed. The work stations were a bit cramped, slightly bigger tables might have been better.

Jayne Mulkern • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed the evening, the teacher was so patient was always wanted to help the group to achieve the best in their painting.

Angela Ocock • Apr 2024

Great evening had with all. Really enjoyed this painting. The teacher was great and very helpful.
Thanks x

This was my fourth class & will definitely go again

Rachael Cutler • Apr 2024

First time going to something like this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Relaxed atmosphere (minus the pub quiz in the background!) Teacher was very approachable and took frequent breaks. Highly recommend!

Karen Antao-Davis • Apr 2024

The venue was excellent. Lovely location and we stayed for a drink afterwards.
The teacher was wonderful - helpful, friendly and fun.
Materials were all excellent and we came away with paintings that resembled what we were aiming for!

Nirendar Rattan • Apr 2024

Fancied doing something out of ny comfort zone, by yourself or with a friend? Had not painted since my school days in the late89’s. This was great, no judgment on the end product. Great time had by all. Friend ly and welcoming by host and people attending class. Give it a go!

Jane Bowley • Apr 2024

It was a lot of fun and the teacher was very encouraging and helpful. It was amazing how a blank canvas turned into a passable painting.
It was a really good venue and the whole experience was good value for money.

Alice Arnold • Apr 2024

Brilliant evening! The teaching was so clear and we were all amazed about what we were able to produce! Highly recommend.

Laura Bailey • Apr 2024

Love these classes Have been to others with a different company, but this one is way better. They have lights so you can see what you are painting, a microphone so you can hear the instructor, and a proper canvas to paint on (not a piece of card). Have booked my next one!

Monika Mathur • Apr 2024

Excellent class with Carmen. Thoroughly enjoyed it with my daughter. Beautiful paintings to bring home with us.

Estelle Verney • Apr 2024

My daughter and myself had an amazing time. Didn’t stop laughing! Great value for money. Step-by-step instructions really clear. Venue was great we even had dinner before the class. My second time and we will both be back.

Samantha Palmer • Apr 2024

First time and loved it. Paced well and lots of positive encouragement. Really enjoyed seeing the painting come together and learned a lot about colour use.

Svetlana Milova • Apr 2024

Very good class. I have chosen a big canvas and the painting looks amazing. Thank you.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Great class as usual and nice to learn a range of techniques by painting something different. Thanks for another relaxing evening!

Lisa Dore • Apr 2024

Brilliant time was had and 2 wonderful master pieces created by 2 11 year old girls, teacher lovely and very encouraging, in the back of a nice local pub. Thanks so much!

Lucy Little • Apr 2024

Becky was really lovely and very enthusiastic, she was so supportive and encouraging with the children and guided them through the process really well.

Davinder Rihal • Apr 2024

Liked the venue more spacious than some. Teacher was friendly and explained well. We really enjoyed the class.

Donna Taylor • Apr 2024

The step by step process was good and slow enough to flow along and there was time to got over any areas you may have missed or want to add more detail too. I would love to do it again.

Becca Wilkins • Apr 2024

Kids all had a great time, enjoyed by all and very proud of their final painting

Joanne Bruce-Carter • Apr 2024

We enjoyed it immensely. Nice venue and set up. Teacher was very patient with the clients. Thank you for the well planned event.

Elizabeth Burns • Apr 2024

Chase was really great, she explained the process well and how to use your equipment, mix paints etc very well.

I liked the venue although I thought the room was a little small and there was a quiz night on at the same time which was quite loud.

Carol • Apr 2024

Nice venue a little bit small. Excellent teacher who took time and explained every step.

Lynsey Mitchell • Apr 2024

Lovely teacher and helper, easy to follow and much fun had thank you x we are pleased with our paintings xx

Catherine Mellersh • Apr 2024

This was my first online brush party and it was great.
The group had obviously met before but the host made me feel very welcome.
The set up and instructions were clear and helpful and our host was happy to give us extra help and tips where required.
I'm very happy with the finished product I'll have to look out for the next one!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

This was a brilliant watercolour class. I really enjoyed creating the peacock and the steps were all explained well and presented at a good pace. Thanks for another relaxing evening!

Patricia Evans • Apr 2024

Painting the peacock was fun. I was slightly concerned to start with but Beckie is a wonderful teacher and everything came out well in the end.

Becca Wilkins • Apr 2024

Very enjoyable session! Good to try something new and be pushed out of my comfort zone. Thank you Becky!

Marion Green • Apr 2024

Great activity for the Grandchildren over Easter break. They thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Thank you.

Andrea Dunsby • Apr 2024

Patricia Evans • Apr 2024

Tonight we drew a sunflower under the guidance of Beckie. It came out well but not the easiest. Beckie is a lovely teacher.

Sue Kennon • Apr 2024

Clear instructions.
I finished with a picture that resembled a sunflower which I was happy about.
thank you

Mercedes Giron • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed the session, teachers were very friendly and walked us through the painting step by step. Great opportunity to do something different and learn a bit more about painting.

Hannah Cottrell • Apr 2024

I’ve always wanted to take part in these so finally found a painting I fancied doing & signed up on my own.
Great location at The Castle pub in Farnham and lovely bunch of fellow painters!
Even though I was alone, everyone taking part was so friendly and we all had a giggle learning step by step how to create our Magical Meadows. Highly recommend either alone or with a group. Excited to book my next session soon

Jacqueline Young • Apr 2024

I had a fabulous time celebrating my birthday!
Great venu and teacher was wonderful.
Definitely do this again!

Elizabeth Hunter • Apr 2024

It was a fun evening. My first attempt at painting. I can’t wait for my next attempt.
Best wishes.

Julie Rogers • Mar 2024

Maybe pick wrong picture to stat with as found it quite hard to complete it

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

Great experience, really fun evening! A great environment and clear guidance throughout. Would very highly recommend!

Kay Downes • Mar 2024

Great evening. And am very pleased with the end result lovely picture Will definitely book again to paint another picture. Would like to paint the Greek Santorini picture if available.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

I felt 3 Little Ducks wasn’t such a complicated picture as some of the others I’ve done.
We started late as a few hadn’t arrived… the diversion may have caused this. We also finished slightly on the early side.
I felt a bit rushed… and as we had time I would have preferred to go slower. Sometimes the instructor was onto the next bit whilst I was still doing the previous bit.
The instructor and the venue was lovely.

Katy Tarrant • Mar 2024

Cafe was good location. I sat at the back so did find it difficult seeing everything but the assistant was always there to help so not much of a problem. Atmosphere was good we enjoyed the evening & were very happy with our Picasso’s. Thank you

Maria Nicholas • Mar 2024

Teacher was great…a bit quick in some places. Had a great night great value for money, my only criticism would be that it would have been nice for the other lady to come round to offer pointers/help with the painting if needed which my party felt we did. She could also check if people need water changes/paint top up’s ect without us having to ask and disturb the teacher.
We had a fabulous time and will definitely do again.

Caroline Germany • Mar 2024

I really enjoyed it. The venue was very good and well set up, the teachers provided everything and kept checking we all had what we needed. Everyone's interpretation of the painting was slightly different. Good fun.

Diana Freeman-Johnston • Mar 2024

I've done several of these and they are great. The tutor for this particular one was amazing, she did a couple of the previous ones too and is by far the absolute best one at it. My pictures have always turned out best with her.

The painting session was enjoyable and I was really happy with what I painted. The teachers were friendly and helpful. The only thing that wasn't great was the venue. We were all squashed into one area with round tables. This meant some of us had our backs to the instructor and had to keep turning around. The tables were packed with material to use but needed more space.

Sarah Benzie • Mar 2024

The teacher was very good. The pub setting was ok. The way the tables were set it was hard to see the teacher painting and hard to follow and hear at times. A quieter venue may be more appropriate. The class was great otherwise.

Tina Cooper • Mar 2024

Event was engaging and very enjoyable.
I found the only downside was it was a little rushed towards the end.

Joy Stowe • Mar 2024

Such a fun night
Everything was provided and the teacher was great
Really good value for money

Sue Price • Mar 2024

It was a lovely evening & I felt very relaxed & a sense of achievement afterwards. We all painted a moonlit garden & it was great to see the results of everyone’s hard work. Everything we needed was provided & it was great value for money.

Katherine • Mar 2024

A great way to spend an evening with friends. Teacher was fabulous and I was delighted with my painting

Janine Lyne • Mar 2024

Great glass could not believe the painting I came away with. Really helpful good instructions and fun

Nicola Weaving • Mar 2024

The organisers were so help and friendly. I would definitely recommend the class to others. I am a watercolour artist and I fancied trying acrylics which was a very different technique for me to grasp!

The only changes I would like to recommend would be better lighting, maybe free stand LED bright whites or something as it was very difficult to see the tones.

We had paper pallettes that the paint would soak into which made it incredibly hard to mix and use, I would recommend using a re usable plastic pallette instead. Also our location was very squished.

There was no room to move, so I would recommend less people at that location or a larger area reserved.

I will definitely be trying another work shop soon! Thanks!

Emma Gosling • Mar 2024

We had such a brilliant time, me and my partner aren’t particularly arty however came out feeling like confident well seasoned artists!
The evening was a lovely, friendly environment.
A special thank you to our wonderful artists (I’m so sorry I can’t remember your name 19:00 19/03/23 Elstead), incredibly talented, patient, warming, made the experience a delight!
Would 100% go again, we can’t wait!

Debbie Carrington • Mar 2024

Our teacher Clare I think her name was, was really lovely, knew her stuff and made it fun. Materials were spot on, nothing to much trouble. Venue is great, been to a few brush party events there. Loved the whole evening and learnt a few tips. Keep up the good work x

Michelle Smith • Mar 2024

Really fun evening. Great tuition. Easy to follow. Location was a bit warm and cramped. Felt a bit awkward asking for help or more paint/tissues etc as they couldn't get over. We wre asked about loyalty cards but didn't receive one.

Svetla Vaccari • Mar 2024

I joined an art class not for a special reason but just because I love painting. It turned out to be a great. The teacher was amazing. She was friendly, and helped us when we needed it. She made the class enjoyable and easy to follow.
The location is really convenient. We got all the materials in the class. The class was definitely worth the money. I got to learn new things and just have a good time.

Sharon • Mar 2024

Great fun, teachers were really helpful (sorry, I forgot your names), relaxed atmosphere and everyone entered into the spirit of the evening and was so encouraging.

Loved the class! It was my first experience and I absolutely enjoyed the lesson! Helen and Jess were very helpful and went according to the pace of the class. I would love to do this again … will highly recommend!

Ann Palmer • Mar 2024

I chose this class because it was local and I liked the picture we would be drawing. I felt it was good value for money because all the materials were included and we had an excellent teacher. It was a very relaxed class and I throughly enjoyed it.

Mina de Finis • Mar 2024

I had great time. 3 hours went very fast. Teacher was helpful with guiding the whole painting session giving tips on how to use the brush stroke.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

This was my first time attending the brush party and really enjoyed it. I attended this session with my friend, so I had a great company and the venue was fantastic. Instructor was fantastic too and was clearly telling the us the next steps.

Kathryn Culley • Mar 2024

Great class with a fun painting - supportive and helpful teacher. Venue lovely but the set up feels a little cramped (elbows, paint brushes) and the tables easily transfer wobbles when someone else knocks into them.

Our teacher was very good at explaining each step of the painting and was able to give personal advice during the evening.
The venue (The Spindle and Thread in High Wycombe) was comfortable and we had a section to ourselves.
We painted "Moon Gazer" which at first seemed unattainable, but we all ended up with a painting to be proud of.
I think this evening was good value for money. I shall certainly book another painting session with you.

Lisa Rolfe • Mar 2024

Helen was an excellent teacher and both her and her helpful assistant were very encouraging. Great venue very comfortable and would definitely go back there.

Debra McGladdery • Mar 2024

The teacher was very welcoming and very helpful. Thank you to my friend. The venue was good. Materials were provided and adequate. I learnt how to paint depth. The class was value foe money, and the atmosphere was lovely with background music which we sang along to. X

Teresa Priestley • Mar 2024

Kharmen was a wonderful teacher and her assistant as well, both worked extremely hard and were very helpful. The venue was great and the class was good value for money. Kharmen allowed us to stay and tweak until we were ready to go which was long past her teaching time. She promoted other venues that she is taking over in the area too. Dear

Evelyn Webster • Mar 2024

She took her time explaining every detail or the process all through the evening i enjoyed the evening very much

Instructor was great as well as her assistant.
I would maybe have appreciated a little personal advice on technique as we went along.

Having done two other Brush Party events I was a little disappointed with the venue. I had travelled for an hour and had hoped to be able to buy a meal… or chips or something. I should have checked that The Old Ford did meals… I assumed it would as food was available at the previous venues.

Caroline Mole • Mar 2024

Teacher was great - fun and relaxed atmosphere and really good venue with great lighting. Loved the end result too.

Great night

Katrina Munro • Mar 2024

Teacher Claire and photographer Muhammad were great fun and added to the enjoyment of the evening. Painted at a pace that we could keep up, which is great because I am slow Kept paints and equipment topped up & managed to give individuals tips too, thanks so much for a great evening.

Shail Summersgill • Mar 2024

We visited the class for a late birthday celebration for my friend. The teacher was very friendly and helpful. We unfortunately came in late due to me travelling into Berkshire and our teacher was very accommodating helping us catch up to the class. Venue was easy to find and good parking. We painted a moody romantic autumn scene. Thank you for the session, we may not have felt confident at first but seeing the end product gave us a good feeling of accomplishment. Great girls night!

Giulia Highfield • Mar 2024

I went to my first sip and paint evening which my friend and I really enjoyed. It was so much fun and I will definitely be doing another one and be recommending to friends. My only criticism was that we did not have enough room, we were very squashed together so hopefully next time there will be more space.

I learnt more about placement and planning of the layout of the picture and was really pleased overall. As it is so detailed, I unfortunately missed a step resulting in a minor error but still very pleased.

Lorna Spicer • Mar 2024

As usual the evet was really well organised and fun. Really enjoyed this one, it's quite tricky but the teacher and helper were great. This is a really good venue with plenty of space, not too many people walking through and good food and drinks available.

This is the first time I have used coloured pencils to create a picture (excluding when I was very young in school!). I found it a bit difficult compared to the usual drawing and watercolours. I would, however, like to have another go at coloured pencils.

Stephanie Brady • Mar 2024

Perfect night. Great venue, great coaching, great music, great fun And best of all… An impressive piece of art to take home. Can’t recommend enough ????

Tansy Upton • Mar 2024

Class teacher and assistance were very nice, they were friendly, welcoming and professional. Venue was lovely, a bit tight for space, I felt a bit close to the person next to me, but a nice building with a friendly atmosphere.
The easels were slightly annoying as they took the paint off a little when you used them so I had to keep holding my canvas and repainting the parts that had come off.
Overall a really enjoyable evening and lovely to set aside time to paint. Thank you to Stef and David for hosting.

Azalea Rotaru • Mar 2024

It was good fun for someone who has not painted before. Each steps were easy to follow.
Good value for money as they provide everything you need.

The teacher was good, I love the design. The venue was freezing cold. Not sure if the air con was on or just a draft.

Preet Panesar • Mar 2024

Great venue, and a fab teacher who made the class fun as well as a new learning experience

Tina Swann • Mar 2024

It was a great evening, had a lot of fun, can’t draw or paint for toffee, yet I managed to paint a toucan which I am really proud of. The instructor & her assistant we’re amazing & very patient giving clear instructions of what we needed to do, supplying us with extra paint if we needed it & if anyone got behind they went back over what they needed to do without it being a hassle. Very impressed. Will definitely sign up to do more pictures. Well worth the money.

Alison Pontin • Mar 2024

We had a fabulous evening in Tring painting instructions were so easy to follow, great music and excellent value for money. Thank you Brush Party.

Quite a big group this time, with not much space to move about, but fine when we were painting. Carmel and Jess were very welcoming and there was a nice atmosphere throughout. I sat at the front so I could see well and could get attention, advice and more paint very smoothly, but others were equally served especially when they were falling behind and needed reminders or extra time or help. The paint was slow to dry in the cold conservatory, so I learnt to be patient and we worked on a different area for a bit, then returned. The results looked stunning!

Georgina Chalice • Feb 2024

The venue was great (if a little pricey for drinks!)

The teacher was fabulous. Super patient and explained everything really well. She was very friendly too and approachable.

I'd definitely go again if the experience was the same as this one was. I wasn't expecting the end result to be as good as it was, given I haven't painted since school. The explanations and the stages were well timed. When I thought I'd messed up, the teacher told me how I could save it. She was great!

We arrived in good time and parking was easy. David and his assistant already had everything set up and were well-organised and welcoming and attentive to us. The class started on time. The group, at the Prince of Wales in Marlow, was much smaller than we have previously experienced and we were more than comfortable in the space available. I was attracted to this picture, the Dormouse, because of all the neutral and natural colours in it, which is very different from the bright, colourful animals that I have previously chosen. It is a new picture and has a lot of small details in it and there wasn't a large finished version available, but we had paper copies of the finished picture on each table for reference. Even so, it wasn't always possible to see exactly what David was doing. I was tempted to get up and look, and I don't think anyone would have had a problem with that if I did, but our assistant was very available and helpful and encouraging so, as is usual, it was very acceptable to do our own thing as well. David said it was his first time teaching the class. On previous occasions, the class has been more punctuated, allowing time for everyone to reach the same point and then move on together. I don't think I was alone in feeling left behind on occasion. This is just something that comes with experience I guess and in no way ruined the experience. I enjoyed the evening and am very happy with my picture. I particularly enjoyed mixing natural colours and subtle shades.

We had the best time with Clare at our brush party! She was funny, engaging and so kind. She was immensely helpful and explained everything so clearly. She was amazing at pacing out the different stages of the art work and it worked well for our class of mixed art abilities.

Ruth • Feb 2024

The venue was great and it was a nice room that we were in. The teacher was brilliant at breaking down the instructions into manageable step, which were easy to follow. I am not a painter in anyway and due to here excellent guidance I produced a piece of art that I was really pleased with.
Materials were all of a high quality and I think it was good value for money.
I really enjoyed the whole experience due to the relaxed and fun atmosphere which was created.

I would've put 5 stars, but the assistant was very distracting this time. Chatting and hitting up on me and my friend, then watching the videos on his phone with the loud sound on. I loved the picture and the teacher was lovely as always, but I left quite frustrated and angry still.

Lovely teacher. Very encouraging. Spent time giving people advice and spread herself between everyone well. Also the helper was really lovely.
I came by myself and although the 2 ladies immediately opposite me didn’t interact much with me there was a group of ladies behind me who chatted with me. They have added me to their ‘group’ and I am now going to the theatre and to a silent disco with them.
So whilst I enjoyed the painting activity I also made some new friends. I also slept really well. It was very refreshing to do something different.

Laura Black • Feb 2024

Lynsey Queenborough • Feb 2024

Carmen, our teacher, was really great, showing how to mix colours and different techniques, as well as giving us handy hints.
Great fun with a friend, but just as easy or fun to attend on your own.
One big emphasis was that, although we were using the same picture prompt, our pictures all looked individual and unique.

Jennifer Shearman • Feb 2024

I booked this workshop as I was on half term, I loved the image and the venue is within walking distance of my house. I asked a friend to come to which was fun.
Our teacher was excellent, very patient with those who needed more help.
The materials provided were good. This is my second of these workshops and they have both been good value for money

Miss Georgia Spooner • Feb 2024

Very good painting class and lots of support from the tutor! Had a great time ️

Mark Pettitt • Feb 2024

Really enjoyable. Marquee was a little cold, but apart from that it was great.

One thing that would have been useful was if we could have been given more of an idea as to how much paint to mix up. I kept running out, and then found it difficult to mix up the same colour again!

Really enjoyed it though and will do it again.

Mark

Teresa Eaton • Feb 2024

Loved this Brushparty. Picture had some tricky bits but our teacher guided us through them brilliantly and was very encouraging. The venue was very spacious but on a rainy night not so easy to get a drink and bring it back across. Really good, enjoyed by my little party of 3.

Our Teacher Was Heidi , with her assistant , she is such an amazing Artist and explained each step beautifully all items were provided we stopped for 2 breaks and had the chance to view each others , we created the Angus Steer I attended with my Sister who does paint and attends weekly art classes for many years
I last painted or drew anything when I was at school ,would love to do another at some point it was good value and loved the teaching and the encouragement

I have not done an acryllic with you for some time and I had forgotten just how frenetic it can be! The watercolours and drawings are so much more civilised. However, I think I just about got there in the end - but obviously not nearly as well as Beckie. Nice picture but it does require several techniques. I will try and find time to tidy up my painting in the next few days.

Elaine Barry • Jan 2024

I had a lovely time at the class at the Prince of Wales pub in Marlow. Not being artistically minded I thought this might be beyond me, but the way the instructor took you through it step by step (even on how to mix colours) made all the difference and I ended up with a picture I was very proud of. The pub staff also took an interest in the class and gave us some lovely feedback on our work. Would definitely recommend

Emily Wright • Jan 2024

Brilliant way to spend an evening with friends having giggle and I was quite amazed at the result as I didn't think I could paint! The teacher was very patient and the way we built up the painting was clever. I'll definitely go again.

Deborah Pengelly • Jan 2024

The teacher and her assistant could not have been nicer, and the venue worked well. All materials provided, and we used acrylic paint. Pub may have sent someone to check if we wanted a drink during the session which may have been good for them too. The idea is great and suited to people who haven’t painted before.

Nikki Sharpe • Jan 2024

Great evening spent doing something actively relaxing. The teacher was lovely and very patient.
The venue and ambiance spoilt what for me, should've been supremely relaxing, into a bit of an irritant. The sound and smells of a pub weren't enjoyable. The music was awful, very distracting and not what I would choose to have on when I'm crafting. Music is very subjective so I'd suggest asking the group at the start if they wanted music at all. At the most concentrated part of the painting we did get it turned down.
This isn't the fault of the concept but maybe a more private room would be better for other events. One where the smells and sounds are more easily blocked off.
I'm happy with what we did and would definitely recommend the experience but not the venue.

Debbie Green • Jan 2024

Joined Claire for the first time for a brush party (3rd party experience, 2nd with brush party).

Absolutely loved it, and the dainty fox that appears to be dancing, now on canvas.

Venue a little cold, until we went round helping Claire get the radiators on, apart from that venue did the job, quiet peaceful etc.

Great fun, lovely instructor. Brilliant evening. Something different to do and come home with a finished piece of art :-)

Jo Smith • Jan 2024

We pained Best Wishes. It was a great class and location.

Really fun evening.

Would do again

Nicola Bryant • Jan 2024

First time attending Brush Party event. Great fun! Would highly recommend and will definitely attend another event in the future!

Nicola • Jan 2024

Really enjoyed the experience. Teacher modelled each step well.
She was willing to give individual tips to help us correct minor errors which was very helpful.
Venue was a little snug.

Jackie Redmond • Jan 2024

Great tutor, patient and clear. Material great. Could do with some ground rules so that participants are more respectful when tutor giving instructions. Yes it’s for s fun night but tonight I felt some participants were quite rude.
Thank you I enjoyed

Vicky Heagren • Jan 2024

Great fun and a beautiful picture at the end of it. Instructions were easy to follow even if you’re not the best artist

Vanessa Mahy • Jan 2024

Great teacher. Happy to help. Easy to follow. Nice venue.
Enjoyable evening.
Set up good.

Naomi Minkkinen • Jan 2024

Fantastic evening, we had a great time and despite not being artists we ended the evening being pleasantly surprised with our finished pieces.
Great teacher, great equipment and a fun evening. Highly recommended

Anonymised ClassBento student • Jan 2024

Great fun! Really good host who helped us all produce surprisingly good paintings!
Will def do another.

Sandra Wilms • Jan 2024

Really enjoyed evening and the guidance was great. Maybe a little more light needed. Thank you for a fun time and I'm so happy with my painting too.

Janet Smith • Jan 2024

A really enjoyable evening. Focussing on painting is really great for mental health. Teacher was really clear and easy to follow, my friend was a first time painter and was amazed at what she was able to achieve. Venue was nice ( great tonic) and materials all good quality and easy to use. Already planning our next paint & sip session with more friends !

Sara Windsor • Jan 2024

If you’ve never tried this then it’s a must. Don’t think you’re not artistic enough. You really don’t need to be. You’ll be surprised at what you can produce!

Loved the teacher, painting experience and loved my end picture. The only negative was the venue was freezing cold. We had to sit in our coats and still froze! It also makes the painting difficult because the paint takes longer to dry.

Victoria Fordham • Jan 2024

Lovely venue, easy to find.
Great class , very happy with my results. It was lovely to have the assistant there supporting us too - she gave us lots of great tips Had an everyone is so lovely and friendly, great evening.

Suzie • Jan 2024

I didn’t know what to expect but wow what a great time. Relaxed atmosphere with some friends at a very reasonable price . Something wonderful to take home and although everyone is painting the same picture it was wonderful to see how unique they all were . Highly recommended

Anonymised ClassBento student • Jan 2024

The venue was set up nicely and organised with all our equipment . The teacher ( apologies I can’t remember your name) explained the evening but it was difficult to hear and know what we were supposed to do. Maybe I wasn’t sat in the best seat to see or hear. She did wander around the room but with quite a large group it wasn’t easy to see us all. Picture itself is cute, I’m no artist but it was still fun to do. Marked a star less due to view and the fact the marquee was way too cold, couldn’t really feel my feet all night!

Liz Williams • Jan 2024

It was lovely although very chilly but we knew it would be. No complaints at all. Can’t wait to do another one

Sarah Thorn • Jan 2024

It was too fast and most complicated but was left until last. My paintbrush was damaged and she said it was my technique, I changed brushes and my picture improved 100%. My least fav so far. Lighting very poor.

However, great evening and glad I went

Anonymised ClassBento student • Jan 2024

I felt the event was so/so, I wouldn't say it was a very warm welcome, especially from the class assistant.

I also think the explanations could have been better. At the beginning there wasn't a lot of explaining what part of the painting we were doing, only how to draw these abstract shapes, but that resulted in a lot of my table's paintings being out of proportion.

I also understand that the instructors painting won't be as perfected as the groups as they are helping the group, but the reference paintings around the room was far better than the instructors at the end. So it felt like we were being taught / mirroring a not so great version.

Sarah • Jan 2024

Host very encouraging, other painters friendly.
Venue was good, will book again and spread the word.

Melanie Kate Harvey • Jan 2024

The space in the venue was quite tight it made it difficult to paint as we didn’t have much space around us or on the table, but the venue was a good location with lots of parking etc, I think it was just the number of the people on the class

The lady supporting the teacher didn’t support much

The teacher was good and took it slowly going around to different people to check colour mixing etc and offer advice which wasn’t easy given how many people and questions, but occasionally she would forget to say which brush we would be using or what part of the picture we were mixing the colour for. I think she did a great job though and having someone support her a bit more offering advice to people attending would have helped

I really enjoy brush paint classes, looking forward to seeing some paintings that I’d like to paint come up to do

Sylvia Robinson • Jan 2024

What a brilliant evening.
Came with my daughters in law for a different experience. All a little apprehensive but we were settled in and made to feel comfortable. Teacher was excellent talking us through each step. And not a bad result. Will put in on the wall

Anita Park • Jan 2024

A great, fun evening. Loved the smaller venue which felt more intimate and friendly. Claire, as always, an engaging and patient teacher giving out good tips and strategies (whether I can actually follow is another matter!). His is my second Brush Party and am looking forward to doing another. Have recommended this as an activity to many friends

Louise Mayman • Jan 2024

Teacher was nice - I enjoyed her singing! Think she let us spend a bit long on the background so we were rushing at the end. The venue was lovely and perfect for what we were doing but it would be helpful to know that parking is really difficult in Ampthill!
Overall it was a fun evening with a better outcome than I was expecting

Lucy Gray • Jan 2024

Really easy to follow, many options to double check you are on the right track. Really enjoyable and lovely scene.

Had a lovely evening painting (Ice Ice Angus at The Ostrich in Colnbrook. My first Brush Party and I'll be going again for sure. Lovely venue upstairs away from the bar located downstairs. Very well presented and the step by step instructions and demonstration was excellent. See you all again soon.

Julie Lorraine • Jan 2024

The evening was fun and the sense of achievement brilliant! The tutor was very talented and extremely patient. The pace was a little quick and I couldn't always keep up. 5he three hours went by extremely quickly. The only negative was that the room was extremely cold and I could hardly feel my hands all night. My mum and I are looking forward to our next art session 16 Feb. Thank you for all your help Minnie xx

Evelyn Mills • Jan 2024

As usual, I enjoyed that Watercolour Painting Class by Zoom. It was lovely to see and talk to Becky again, and see the other participants too. I don't have the luxury of time to attend a live event /in venue so this type of class by zoom suits me fine.
I am not 100% happy with my painting but I know that if I want to improve it, I can do another one with the link that Becky has forwarded after the class.
Thank you very much, brush party.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Jan 2024

Possibly use plastic paint pallet so the paint don’t dry so quickly and makes it easier to mix up more of the same colour. Also change the water at least once.

Trisha McCrorie • Jan 2024

Absolutely loved it. When we looked at the blank canvas we all thought there's no way we could achieve a picture. It was such fun. Steph and Tori were amazing, on hand to show us in detail of how to paint. Nothing was too much problem, plenty of equipment needed to create our masterpieces! The venue was a lovely pub, not good if you have mobility problems as the event was up some very uneven steps. The bar was lovely though and the bar staff very friendly. We can't wait to do it again!
Very good value for money

Alison Dodd • Jan 2024

Family night out - great bonding session! Friendly and helpful tuition. Good location. Plenty of materials.

Cathie • Jan 2024

I haven’t actually painted this yet but have looked at the recording. The pace was good and interaction with the class was very good. The initial out line for the head and ears was very difficult to see on screen as it was so pale and as a novice this would have been a problem, but having watched the whole session I can now see how it transforms into the hare. Hopefully, when I do come to paint it, it will have a resemblance of a hare. This is a big learning curve for me but I am up for the challenge. Looking forward to the next one.

James Lamont • Jan 2024

Loved the evening a fantastic way to have fun and relax. Definitely going again, both the lady's who ran our event were so warm friendly and personable

Deborah Mannion • Jan 2024

Teachers were great, event was fun. No parking at the venue, so ended up in paid parking with we didn’t expect.

Claire • Jan 2024

Lovely venue and the Teacher was great. Friendly, helpful and explained things really well. Best brush party I have been to so far!

Jackie Rowland • Jan 2024

Great fun, step by step instructions which were very easy to follow. A great evening.

Nicola McPartlan • Jan 2024

Had a great evening painting ice Angus . Went with my daughter to a local pub. It’s a very well organised event

Simon Armstrong • Jan 2024

Great class , first time attended . Teacher was brilliant and engaging and the support lady was very helpful and encouraging . Fantastic evening

Dan Margetts • Jan 2024

Class was good but I had not been sent the correct zoom code to join so missed the first 10 mins. Maybe as this was a gift the code had been sent elsewhere? As a complete beginner I found it very hard to catch up and to know what to do with mixing paint etc. The rest of the class seemed to know what they were doing.

Sue Hughes • Jan 2024

Second evening I’ve been to and loved each one. How the paintings turn out so good is a real credit to the instructor! Good, fun evening out. Relaxed, no pressure and a great atmosphere. Had 2 of my grown up kids join me and they both want to go again, appeals to all ages.

Kajsa Pot • Jan 2024

Team Jess was absolutely AMAZING! Full of energy, encouragement and support for both beginners and more experienced painters (like myself). I’ve not laughed as much as last night but she also kept the class on schedule so we finished on time. She’ll be one of my favourite teachers ever and I wish we could filter on teacher and painting, instead of just by location.

3 of us came on Tuesday night, our first time newbies. We had a great time and we all said we will be doing more. Every part of the evening was perfect.

Anita Giblett • Jan 2024

It was a great fun evening, very informative, instructions easy to follow would go to another one again

Lillian Klein • Jan 2024

Venue is good, nice atmosphere, the teacher went a bit fast and seemed to be painting her own picture - I would have preferred for it to have been a bit less rushed and maybe more checking in to see that everyone was at the same stage. When I did ask for help, she was helpful. Having done this with you before, I have experience of a different teaching style. I think the cost was pricey.

Millie Pinder • Jan 2024

This isn't a critism just a ,make you aware.

My husband and I had a fun date night doing the paint and sip at the Angel Pub in Bicester. The teacher was great and very helpful with sharing tips and tricks.

Jenna Mitchell • Dec 2023

Great class again. Kids loved it. Great design. Only sad part is you never have enough time to finish and it always seems a little rushed at the end.

Sophie • Dec 2023

The venue was great, nice and cheap drinks haha!
Materials were good.
It was a gift so not sure if good value for money
Fun evening and easy to create a pretty impressive piece

Julia Wheeler • Dec 2023

We all had a great time and considering none of us can draw or paint we came away with some really great work!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Dec 2023

Felt a little limited with space & it was a little hard to reach the paint / water pot without touching others or their painting. The lighting was great, as was the quality of the teaching & the end paintings we all really enjoyed doing.

Moira Sweeney • Dec 2023

The best evening! So relaxing and such great fun all at once. The session leader was brilliant; patient and knowledgeable and the venue was spot on. Can’t wait to attend another session.

The only criticism is that we were rushed off at the end and we missed the step of highlighting the snowmen hat.

Nathalia Toretta Moraes • Dec 2023

I really liked the class and everyone was lovely including Jo. I loved my painting, but feel that that the class felt quite rushed for quite a tricky painting. If it was someone’s first time they may have been a bit overwhelmed. The start of the background was set - then better/different options were given after starting the original idea. I’ll definitely go again - and this is no way negative - I just feel instruction could have been clearer. Fab venue and a bargain bar also! Thanks all!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Dec 2023

We had another great class tonight the teacher was lovely and bubbly and helpful with the technique this was a particularly tricky one too do but was still enjoyable and even though we arrived half an hour late we managed too catch up would highly recommend and look forward too doing many more

The Mill at Elstead is a beautiful venue and we went early to eat in their restaurant washed down with a glass of mulled wine! The teacher was great and explained everything we were doing and going at our pace. Everything was supplied including Christmas hats! It was a small group but everyone was friendly. Amazing how everyone produces a different variation of the same picture. They all looked great. It’s a lovely stress free evening and you leave feeling you have achieved a masterpiece! Will definitely do another.

Mary Poulton • Dec 2023

Top marks for both Jess who kept things lively with her bubbly personality and painting flair while David did a perfect job of keeping everyone supplied while keeping calm in the face of anything. The usual minor accidents and a once in a blue moon egotistical mouthy idiot (pleased to say not a brush party attendee) were dealt with in such a prompt yet calm manner. A fun and festive experience to remember for all the right reasons as a result :-)

We had an excellent time painting Angus the coo Clare was brilliant, explaining every step and making sure we all knew what we were doing. She had examples of the painting round the room in case we couldn’t see her very well but we had a clear view and plenty of space. She was very generous with her time and advice and encouraged us to change anything we wanted on the painting. My friend hadn’t painted before and was so amazed she produced something that looked like what it was supposed to We will definitely be back!

Chris Jones • Dec 2023

Another fantastic, social evening and a fantastic outcome at the end. The only comment I would make is that the venue did seem a little crowded with the layout and it wasn’t easy to see the demonstration. However, this did not occur from a very enjoyable evening in lovely company. Many thanks!

I found the painting quite hard this time, because of what we were painting. However The instructor was great and took us through each step. I enjoyed this class more than the others I’ve attended at this venue as there were fewer people which meant we had more space, could hear the instructor better and the instructor could spend more time with people who needed help. The other classes had too many people. Really enjoyed this one. Need to practice light brush strokes though so I can actually paint the northern lights! Was great to try something harder for me

We absolutely loved our paint & sip class! Claire was so patient with us and made it so fun, she built a great rapport with everyone in the class! We had the class at pitcher & piano and it was a perfect mix of fun but with our own space. Would definitely do this again!

Sarah Schwingshackl • Dec 2023

Teacher was very engaing and motivating. Very relaxed atmosphere - kept everyone on track and we loved the finsihed article.

The venue had lots of space in a marquee but it was tricky to keep temperture right but not a major issue. We will defo come again.

Carol Smith • Dec 2023

It was my first time and it was great. Well worth the money and the teacher was great. I will be back.

What a fun evening, it was a great night with extremely lovely and helpful staff.

Ms Kim Ellis • Dec 2023

Katie was a star as usual , always boosting everyones confidence ,friendly and smilie .
Makes you feel comfortable enjoying a good sing along ,while painting
We was kept warm in the venue and sharon (the landlady) kindly pops in takes our orders.
All materials were on hand ,Katie always asks if we need fresh water or more paint.
Cant wait till Jan for the next one .

Marion Grapes • Dec 2023

Really fun night. Our host was very attentive, kept checking if the pace was right and very happy to let us go rogue (so pleased she had pre mixed purple !)
Great venue

I will be booking for the next class here!

Maureen • Dec 2023

Absolutely loved this! Such a fun night. I have zero art skills but just went for fun with a friend. It was not only great fun, the teaching helped even a total newbie like me build up from blank canvas to a half decent Angus the cow. Great music played throughout and such a relaxed friendly atmosphere that we found ourselves singing along while we painted. Seeing how everyone paints in a different way was really good too because it makes you realise that unlike maths (love of my life) there is no right or wrong with art/painting. That's really freeing and if you go in with an open mind and leave self-judgement and negative art class memories from school, at the door, you will have the best night. Paced so you are totally absorbed in painting, no time to think about your responsibilities and worries of the day. 3 hrs escapism bliss!

A good class. I arrived late to the session due to family, but I was able to watch the session. I have received the recording so will be having a go. I will be signing up for the winter hare workshop and ensuring I am there at the start. I have done some of these workshops with hobbycraft and enjoyed. Those including materials have been excellent value.

I was able to join the zoom event from start to finish and had fun painting the Snowman in watercolour. I am still a bit partial to acrylic but watercolour has now started to get more interesting. Thank you Brush arty, esp the lovely Teacher - Becky.

Samantha • Dec 2023

Excellent class, loved the picture and what I managed to create.
Particularly liked the fact that there were several examples around the room showing how they could be so different yet all look good!
Can't wait for the next one!

Having never painted a snow scene in watercolour before I found this class very helpful and well paced as well as relaxing. Lots of tips were given and I enjoyed the experience.

Julie Durham • Dec 2023

It was good fun and the people were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely do it again and try and get a small group of friends to join as it’s a good night out and also good to try something you haven’t done before, learn something and come away with something tangible and the feeling you had accomplished something.

Sue Creaser • Dec 2023

Enjoyed every minute. The first time putting paint on canvas since my school days so a complete novice but our teacher made it easy & fun to do. Came away with a not half bad painting. Can’t wait to come again

Laura Areniece • Dec 2023

Such good fun, I think it’s suitable for everyone and their artistic abilities. It was very relaxed so no pressure to do well.
Will definitely be doing this again!

Jo Valks • Dec 2023

A fab fun evening Even total beginners like me were able to do it will definitely do another evening

Cerys L Evans • Dec 2023

Fabulous class, Excellent guidance from the teacher, Ideal location. Would be happy to attend another class in the same location with same teacher. My husband and I had such a fun evening.

Roberta Cole • Dec 2023

Great evening had by all. It was lots of fun with easy to follow instructions throughout!

Sandie Rideout • Dec 2023

Another fab session at the Woodpecker. Everything you need and great instructions. Really impressed with Angus.
Thanks Becky

Caroline Duckett • Dec 2023

The tutor was friendly and welcoming. She gave very clear instructions. Checking everyone's pictures regularly. Gave advice when needed but encouraged everyone regardless. Very positive experience.

Evita Kavvada • Dec 2023

The session is great. Overall I would say that those on-line sessions need to last longer to allow participants to focus on more details that actually make a huge difference at the outcome

Hannah Bavin • Dec 2023

The class was fun - Katie was personable and knowledgeable. I do think the explanations took a little long in some areas (such is the challenge of an online class), and the base of the snowglobe was therefore incomplete by the end of the session. Overall, a lovely idea and a pretty painting.

A great painting and clearly taught. I especially liked the glowing lights in the sky. Thank you

Anonymised ClassBento student • Dec 2023

Unfortunately the venue let this experience down. The room was too small or there were way too many people. There was nowhere to put our paint palates- I spent most of the session with it on my lap - and we were all too close to each other.
The painting element was good, but it felt a little rushed. This was possibly due to the fact they were late setting up (down to the venue not Brush Party) & they were on the back foot.
I will definitely attend another Brush Party, but will choose the venue I have previous visited.

The venue was very cramped. - it would be nice to have a little more room for each person instead of cramming us in.
The venue was cold and lighting not great.

Nadine Burrows • Nov 2023

Very cramped, shakey small tables. Lights that caused uncomfortable glare especially for my sister who is light sensitive . I think it could be a good venue just needs to be
More thought out on lay out and where the tutor stands, or have less people. Struggled to see the tutor at all times and seemed to far away for those of us who have not so good eyesight. I did enjoy it but just need some adjustments.

Evgenia Mengou • Nov 2023

Overall a great experience. However, the venue wasn’t appropriate for the amount of people. Needed less people and better lighting and heating. On the whole a great experience and if you fix the above I’d seriously consider coming for more! Thank you!

Linda Yates • Nov 2023

Good step by step guidance. Was amazing to see the picture evolve . Plenty of paint , lovely clean brushes.

Bethanie Western • Nov 2023

Great experience, only downside was slightly cramped space but absolutely loved it, great teacher, great instructions, love our paintings

Kajsa Pot • Nov 2023

Loved painting our Penguin. Cathy (?) may not have been teaching Events for long, but she was an absolute pro! Her, and the other lady, made sure to help with questions and to slow down and wait where needed.
The corner in the Off the Tap was quite public, but didn't feel like we were getting disturbed by other pub goers and we didn't have too many attendees to make it feel cramped

Sarah-Jane Francis • Nov 2023

The teacher had good knowledge but it was full on due to time. It was very tight for space could not move. I have never painted before and went home with a lovely painting.

Venue: Off the Tap, Maidenhead.
Painting: Winter Waddle

I had a lovely time at Brush Party. The teachers were great and the venue was nice. I haven't painted since high school but with the tips and guidance of the two teachers I managed to paint a picture that I'm proud to show my friends.
I went by myself and felt very welcome, everyone was helpful and supportive. I will definitely attend more of these! Would highly recommend

Denise Cleaves • Nov 2023

Really enjoyed the painting class. Great instructor and picture choice to paint. Allowed to change the colours being used to do my own thing!

Karen Rawlins • Nov 2023

Jenna was a great teacher very encouraging and clear instructions, when paint mixing when drastically wrong she knew exactly how to put it right.
The venue was fine.
Loved the class will definitely be booking another one but will bring daughter to the next one.
Ice Ice Angus was great for Christmas.

Jackie Nathanielsz • Nov 2023

Lightening was a bit dull to see colours.
Room was a bit cramped.

Excellent evening with friends. Fantastic guidance throughout. Really good fun, and amazed at what we produced!

Samantha Lundie • Nov 2023

Great painting, love this instructor. Katie teaches with great pace and is alway checking progress, making sure everyone is happy. It makes me happy to see her when I arrive.
We used different easels to my previous class and I wasn't keen on them my canvas kept sticking to it and pulling the paint off.

Lisa Hawes • Nov 2023

Thoroughly surprised how my picture turned out as I have never done anything like this before. Katie's instructions quite easy to follow, had a really good time. Will definitely book another one.

Marion • Nov 2023

It was my first in person session and I was nervous going alone. But I needn’t have worried - once you start painting you forget everything else.
The tutor was great - very talented, and everyone left with a snow globe picture to be proud of.
Would recommend to anyone.

Jill Harmsworth • Nov 2023

Once again a great night of instruction. By Laura, she keeps the class fun but is a great teacher who explains all the details and finishing touches. The choice of venue is brilliant, loads of parking and plenty of space inside. Will definitely be back in the new year. Happy Christmas to you all and thank you for your brilliant service.

Angela Treadwell • Nov 2023

Another fantastic evening! Our painter was enthusiastic and helpful. Always enjoyable and interesting to see everyone else's at the end, all the same but all different.

Deborah Honour • Nov 2023

The venue became very cold after the break, with the heaters not being on. Lots of people complained, but nothing was done about it.
The instructor was very rushed and unclear on her instruction, she didn’t give much positive feedback and she drew over my friend’s work several times without asking making her feel uncomfortable. This was my third painting and felt quite disappointed.

Suzette Stevens • Nov 2023

4 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

Loved the picture but the whole evening felt very rushed. Nobody seemed able to keep up. This detracted somewhat from the enjoyment of the evening and the resulting picture.

The "easels" are not very user friendly as the picture sticks to it leaves nasty marks. The traditional easels are much nicer to work with.

Also, sadly there was no mention of loyalty cards so mine wasn't signed for my 6th attendance.

Evelyn Mills • Nov 2023

"Zoom" was giving me a hard time in signing, asking me to log in and asking me to enter a code for signing in and it delayed me by a few minutes. Luckily, Becky was aware of my problem and explained to me what they've done so far so I can catch up. I have bought a set of Coloured Drawing Pencils during the lockdown and haven't used the coloured pencils till now so I was excited and keen to learn. The 1st photo shown here was on A3 Drawing paper, done during the Zoom event. I did a 2nd improved version on an A4 Drawing paper right after the class, while my memory of the drawing techniques was still fresh on my mind and I had as much time as I wanted. I raided my grandchildren's drawing basket and found blendable coloured and white pencils and used some in my 2nd drawing (photo shown below). Thanks to Brush Party. My confidence is growing.

What a fab evening! We painted Ice Ice Angus. The teacher was brilliant, the set up was great, there was quite a lot to do in the time but we all came away with a canvas of a Christmassy Highland Moo having had a glass or two of something along the way.

Amie Brewer • Nov 2023

I really enjoyed myself.
I wanted to do something different for my birthday so I invited 3 friends to a brush party and we had so much fun.

Venue is to small and one side of the room you cannot see what the teacher is doing so you get left behind. Other than that these Brush Party's are fun.

Emily Ross • Nov 2023

What was the teacher like? Personable & friendly but went very quickly at points due to the snow globe complexity.

How was the venue? Great & attentive water changes etc

If materials were provided, did you like them? Yep good.

Was the experience good value for money? If it were slightly longer yes. Please see below

What did you do / learn? The snowglobe painting & the challenge of painting glass

What did you like most? The relaxed atmosphere

This was definitely more challenging than others and it was difficult to see how the tutor was painting certain things at times as they were quite intricate.
However, she was informative and helpful. Thank you

Renata • Nov 2023

The teacher did teach, did not explain about technics during painting process and even forgot to introduce herself. Overall, I enjoyed painting experience myself but agreeing with my companion, we expected more charisma, leadership and guideline during the class from the teacher.

Katie was great, cheerful and is always giving everyone positive feedback. She has fostered my confidence, enabling me to create things i didn't know i was capable of!
The venue was inside the Oak pub. It was warm and cosy where my friends and I enjoyed a LOVELY meal.
The materials were good with fresh water on tap and prompt top up of paint as required.
What I enjoyed most from Katie was how she gives us practical tips, drawing upon her wealth of experience .
She was always there to help in an emergency and give advice if we made a mistake ( espeacially me! )
Katie would come to the rescue to avert any disasters. .
She maintains a relaxed atmosphere to enable creativity and fun to flow throughout the group. Highly recommended experience.

Anna Samuel • Nov 2023

It was truly lovely, thank you.
BUT: as there were only 10 of us, using microphone was bit too much and bit too loud for me. It would have been a lot more cozier to go without it. Maybe it is suitable for larger venues but definitely was not yesterday.
Also, I think having another helper alongside main 'teacher' was bit too much. I felt like being at school when both of them were waling around I didn't feel as free as I wanted to Again, for larger classes this might have been helpful but not last night

Katie was a great teacher, she gave us encouragement and postive remarks. She is fun and makes you feel relaxed.
Then venue was perfect nice and cosy
Sharon( landlady ) was intensive popping in asking if we want drinks and making sure we were warm enough.

Colin Bell • Nov 2023

It was a fabulous evening our only criticism was we were a bit squashed but otherwise would definitely do it again

Yola Barrett • Nov 2023

Becky was great, it was lovely to finally meet her in person. Been wanting to do the elephant for ages. Everyone’s turned out amazing

Danielle Moubarak • Nov 2023

The teacher was wonderful. She really praised everyone's efforts and explained everything very well.

Kathy Skinner • Nov 2023

I was nervous going in as I have very little artistic ability. But the instructor made it easy and fun to follow along. And at the end of the evening I had a recognisable picture! A very fun evening.

Sarah Bradford • Nov 2023

Teacher was enthusiastic and fun, giving clear instructions and demos where required. All equipment was supplied and I was amazed at how good all the paintings turned out. Fabulous evening, great venue - only slight issue is lack of parking, but we were lucky and found a space close by after driving around a bit. Definitely do another one.

This is such good fun and a great atmosphere. The teacher was great as was her able assistant :). Would recommend for a fun evening out. And what came out of it in the end actually didn't look too bad at all.

Sarah Ralphson • Nov 2023

Was a such lovely evening - quite a difficult painting to do but really enjoyed it

Effie Williams • Nov 2023

The venue was a bit tight in Bracknell and car park full.
The canvases have decreased in size but the price has gone up.
The teacher was very good.
Two breaks was also good to allow to catch up.

Caroline Curtis • Nov 2023

Brilliant night. Our teacher was very patient and explained everything. All equipment was provided. Sharon, the landlady was lovely, taking drinks orders so we didn't have to get up. Definitely recommend it.

Excellent venue, made to feel welcome. Tutor was kind and friendly and gave step by step tuition to the group, and advice for individual students. It was a fun night with lots of laughter. I’m pleased with the painting I produced and I really enjoyed this new experience. Thank you.

Nicola Harrison • Nov 2023

This was a fab evening, Katie was excellent in explaining what to do and was very patient with us all. We really enjoyed the evening.

Good value for money
Teacher was excellent
Possibly slightly rushed maybe only one break
Good venue
Good fun too
Had a lovely evening

Eve Jasnikowska • Nov 2023

The venue was great, especially with fewer participants. The materials provided were adequate and plentiful. The "teacher" was very inclusive and heloful. She was encouraging and made a point of reinforcing techniques and colour mixing. The leader and her helper were empathetic and kept up with peoples needs. The whole evening was thoroughly enjoyable. I came as part of a group of 4. We sre going to come again.

Sarah Jones • Nov 2023

Just brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed it and actually produced a decent painting! Would definitely book again.

Hayley Gibbons • Nov 2023

This paining class was so much fun, the whole experience teacher, venue and materials were great, and the end result of actually being able to paint a hedgehog is awesome, thank you,

Elizabethe Tkaczyk • Oct 2023

Good venue, great prezenter, who was fun And encouraged everyone , she ws very cheerful. I will come again

Tina Crossley • Oct 2023

Great teacher and assistant as last time - went a bit quick (know there is a time frame) I will get better at keeping up!
Staff knew we wanted to sit as a group and had some space ready - thank you

Equipment was out ready to use and in good condition and replenished when needed and cleared away for us too !

Great atmosphere

Natalja Kalinina • Oct 2023

Great positive atmosphere, created by the teacher. Great pace, as I've managed to follow all the steps without falling behind. Good supplies, nice piece to paint, good venue for the event. Thank you, I enjoyed it.

Amanda Mellor • Oct 2023

Great class, good directions although a little fast at times. Thoroughly enjoyed painting the pumpkins

Lois Sheard • Oct 2023

This was a gift from my daughter and I was a bit unsure of going along alone especially as I have never done this sort of thing before-I was wrong I had a great evening - helpful and knowledgeable teaching and a great welcome. And a painting I am proud of! Venue also good. I will definitely be back

Jane Sagoo • Oct 2023

Really enjoyed the session - for me the speed of the instructions were a little fast.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Oct 2023

The teacher was excellent,it was just a shame there were only 5 of us, but maybe a good thing so correctional advice was there.

I think for the kids classes, more emphasis needs to be on it not having to look exactly like the example as we had quite a few tears to deal with when my youngest (10) felt his wasn't as good. But I told him to do his own thing and he was happier in the end.

Joanna Dooley • Oct 2023

Teacher was great
Venue was the best I’ve been to. I’ve been to 4 so far
Great picture, great fun

Lots of information and plenty of time to complete the work. Really enjoyed the session and will definitely be back.

Katie Thomas • Oct 2023

Great fun and good venue. Very speedy though, but I suppose it has to be to get the painting finished!

Deborah Queen • Oct 2023

Greay evening out, good fun - you can make an artist out or anyone! Thank you

Kyra • Oct 2023

A fantastic evening painting and sipping…and our painting turned out great! Our teacher was fabulous and gave good instructions throughout. Venue was perfect. All in all an experience worth every penny, will definitely do another one! :)

Brie • Oct 2023

My daughter and I had a fantastic morning painting at the Halloween themed Scaredy Cat morning in Wycombe.
Our teacher explained and demonstrated very clearly and enthusiastically, each stage of the painting. Both she and her assistant were friendly, positive and encouraging.
I was amazed that by the end of the session both mine and my daughter’s paintings were almost as good as the one our teacher produced!
The location was perfect. I really couldn’t fault a thing.
I now really want to do an evening class!

Pamela Knight • Oct 2023

I bought a couple of my grandchildren to the event, they absolutely loved it. The lady doing the painting was so helpful to them. Well done amazing class

Chris Hodges • Oct 2023

Venue excellent good parking good lighting and spacious. Once you found it.
Jo is a lovely lady very encouraging and we enjoyed our evening. Whole session was as well timed.
Some of paints were rather thick and some rather transparent on the canvas.

Ellie Hewitt • Oct 2023

Amazing! The instructions were clear and the instructor was so lovely and positive about everyone’s art work! Everyone was so pleased with the results! Can’t wait for the next one

Had a lovely time with my Daughter at the family brush party event. Tutor was lovely, explained everything and didn't feel rushed. It'll definitely be going up on her bedroom wall as a lovely reminder of a fantastic afternoon.

Angela Ashby • Oct 2023

A great experience, from the welcome to all the fun and laughter trying to paint, our fault nothing to do with the teacher, they really did make the evening special. Highly recommend for a fun night out

Amanda Jackson • Oct 2023

The painting session was so much fun, so theraputic and the ladies running the session were brilliant. Highly recommend and will keep going back :)

Beth • Oct 2023

A fun evening being guided by our lovely artist in charge who engaged with everyone throughout the evening.
Well organised and the right number of breaks in a lovely pub venue.

Lucy Dodd • Oct 2023

Was great venue. I struggled slightly to keep up. However the atmosphere was great and came away with a painting I’m proud of.

Ann Henty • Oct 2023

This class was great although I went through spells during the couple of hours when I didn't like my painting at all! I did like the end result and the process of building up the picture is very interesting. The teacher was very patient, friendly and helpful. She had time for everyone in the class and could help when people were struggling with a particular area of their painting. You learn how to work with acrylic paint to build up the picture using various different techniques and brushes. I like the venue as it's a room off of a pub with plenty of room for everyone with good lighting and seating. I think it's pretty good value for money as all materials provided are good and the tuition is great. I will definately be doing more of these.

Steve Carroll (Lb) • Oct 2023

Thanks to Katie for her support and simple to understand guidance. I was very happy with the result, and my daughter has put the picture up on her wall. I didn't know how easy it could be to produce something that I was actually quite proud of. The quality of the equipment was excellent, with brand new brushes and a proper canvas. I will definitely come again, when my budget allows. LB x

i am 100% one of those people that even struggle to draw a simple circle. I am blown away with what I achieved and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The teacher was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. She was slow enough to keep up with but not so slow that I was left wating at any point. Will definitely do again!

Another brilliant night. Entertaining and informative. Great teacher, atmosphere and venue. Looking forward to the next one.

Peter Cooper • Oct 2023

It was my first time attending a sip and pain event. I was classify myself as a beginner.

The session was fun and friendly and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. We were told how to mix colours and layer paint.

There was no pressure to mix to an exact colour or draw a precise shape or size. Everyone could interpret their painting how they wanted to.

We had 3 10 minute breaks while the paints dried and we moved to the next stage of the painting.

I was very happy with my completed painting. I didn't think I would be able to have a painting as good as I did.

Thank you for a fun night and your clear instructions and guidance.

5 stars.

I am pleased with my final Painting. It's as good as it gets.
Millie was lovely and bubbly - went too fast for me at first but I managed to catch up with her, somehow.
Thank you, Brush party, for this opportunity to learn how to paint a Boat Sailing at sunset. I love the theme.

Evita Kavvada • Oct 2023

It will be great if the facilitator show the painter closer to the camera periodically just for us to see the details. The the painting canva is far from the camera and we miss the details.
Overall great experience and she is very friendly

The teacher was great, really helpful and explained things well - unfortunately we ran out of time and then had to rush which was frustrating :( The venue was nice (The Swan at Thatcham) although I wasn't warned that you had to pay to use the car park (redeemable against food at the bar). I could have done with more space to spread out so I wasn't juggling paint palettes and water! I'm a little annoyed because I'm sure I've read that Brush Party's are held in bars and you can't take your own food but can order food, I ordered food but there wasn't space to eat it and even though I ordered finger foods it was cold and that wasn't great. I think it was fair for the price, any more expensive and it wouldn't be.
Materials were okay, I wasn't great at mixing paint and could have done with a bit more help there. Katherine (I think that's the teacher's name) was great, patient, supportive, and encouraging we just could have done with another hour!

Vicky Morgan • Oct 2023

Great fun.
Something different to do for a birthday treat.
I haven’t held a paintbrush since at primary school and even I managed to paint a half decent picture!
Would recommend.
Thank you ☺️

Margaret Neville • Oct 2023

Really enjoyable evening. We were all surprised by the standard of our paintings. None of us are artists at all. The teacher was lovely and guided us well, making it seem easier than I had imagined it would be. Everything was provided.

Tonight was a great atmosphere with other groups of painters. Everyone was warm and friendly including the teacher and her helpers. The teacher was good at explaining how to paint and use the paint brush for different techniques. I felt I had messed my painting up, but was helped by the teacher on how to rectify my issue. This was my 6th painting and I am looking forward to doing the next one.

My internet connection wasn’t the best and kept dropping out so I don’t feel I really got the full benefit of the class. The tutor was very good and gave clear demonstrations so I did manage to pick up a few skills. I do prefer the atmosphere of being in a classroom with direct interaction with the tutor so probably wouldn’t do another on line class again

Class was good once we moved one of our party so they didnt have their back to the teacher. The venue and set up could have been better. Cold marquee, uncomfortable bench seats. Daughter was bitten by insects as she was right next to the side of the tent. Prefer the malt shovel set up as much more comfortable (and warm). No complaints about actual class.

Very enjoyable the teacher was great and the venue was spacious and had a lovely friendly vibe to it.The only thing that I would say is that tge easels were placed at an awkward height and made the experience quite uncomfortable. Fairly good value for money

Maureen Ford • Oct 2023

First time attending brush party. Good fun, and pleasantly surprised by results. Everything good except the venue which was very cramped, and lighting a problem. Would book again, but not at this venue.

A great concept for complete novices like me.

Once again we had a fabulous time! The teacher was the best we've had I really like her teaching style. The assistant was also great and really helped me out when I hit a bit of bother! Both of them were super friendly. Although the venue was an hour from us (our choice to come) it was great! We were in a lovely marquee which which nice and roomy. Everyone had plenty of space. All equipment was provided and there was no limit on paint or plates.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Oct 2023

Have been to a Brush Party in the same location before and it was great - but it was much busier this time and meant we were very squashed (literally elbow to elbow) and lighting meant it was hard to see the canvas and different colours properly.

The teacher was great and checked regularly that we were doing ok or needed help.
Dave was on hand with advice and paint top ups.
We haven’t painted since school, so a good 30 plus years.
Good clear instructions, step by step all the way.
Fab night with a good group of people, and obviously a glass of wine.

Very pleased with my Best Wishes. My friends also enjoyed it.
Thank you.

My first ever attempt at painting and it actually looked like a picture and not too far off the one I was supposed to be painting too- I would say the teacher has performed a minor miracle to get the most in artistic person to achieve this.

Teacher was great at explaining and assessing the pace to proceed and in supporting the individuals with varying skills

Equipment was ready for us to use and readily available to replenish

Definitely would recommend to a friend (another friend) as there was one there already that has been to a number of events before

Lovely that they ensured we sat together and important that there was enough room as I have mobility issues and so need space to move etc

Claire Maher • Sep 2023

The venue was not good. We were put in a marquee and because of torrential rain there were numerous leaks and some people got wet. We had to move the tables and chairs. I understand this is not brushparty’s fault at all, and I can’t fault the actual brushparty but it did have a great impact on how enjoyable the evening was.

Fantastic teacher, we had some heavy ran which was gushing through the ceiling and floor one one point! But the teacher was calm and reassuring and we powered through to finish!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Sep 2023

I loved it! The lady taking the class was so so helpful and patient. It was really well organised. I will definitely book again.

Love this venue. The instructor and helper were friendly and helpful
I find thee classes good value and ll the equipment was good.
Best brush party yet.
Maybe this picture was simpler than previous but found it a slower pace and more enjoyable. The only thing that could change is not sitting side on and having to twist all the time.

Victoria Nicholls • Sep 2023

Loved our time tonight at the brush party! The teacher was very helpful throughout the class and I’m so please with my painting! Thank you!

Had a really enjoyable evening with friends. The instructor was fun and engaging, the support staff very helpful with tips as well as keeping our paint and water refreshed. It really didn’t matter how well you could paint - everyone produced a picture they were happy with. More importantly it was a fun evening where you can put everything else to one side for a few hours and just focus on your masterpiece. Very relaxing.

The Three Little Ducks class at The Windsor Trooper was a fun class to do. It was quite hard, as it was a 'propper' painting. Compared to the few I had already done, this was the one I felt was an actual serious art style. I loved it though, I learned ALOT and it was enjoyable. It does take alot of concentration and its quite a fast paced class, but it's a beautiful result.

Teacher was great and so we're both of the helpers! They were fun, helpful and patient. The venue was great no car park but plenty of parking around. Chairs were comfy but we did feel a bit squashed could have done with 1 less person in the row to create some more space. Food was great at the venue and the space we were in was a good size. Got a little hot in there but once door was opened it was fine. Music was great and as always we had a fabulous time

The teacher couldn’t control the lady.

The process to the pitcher wasn’t really enjoyable. Music music wasn’t as good.

Jess the artist was amazing! Wouldn’t have know it was her first time teaching the class! Please have Jess & her crew back again to the Windsor Trooper thank you! Had a lot of fun! Jess made it relaxing & enjoyable! She was patient, had a sense of humour & was really helpful when you got stuck! New Brushes were wonderful! So much nicer than working with old beaten up brushes where the bristles are damaged you can’t get a fine line so thankful for that as well. Please please can you schedule The Highland Cow and The Lighthouse watercolour at Windsor soon! Thanks so much! Great job to Jess & her crew this evening was thoroughly enjoyable!

Thomas • Sep 2023

This was my girlfriend’s and mine first experience of a brush party, it was a birthday present for her and we loved it.

The teacher was great, very encouraging and patient. True equipment was great and the venue was lovely too. Drinks and food were great.

Well definitely be booking and recommending brush party to family and friends

Keeley Hitchins • Sep 2023

Katie who taught the class was excellent. Very helpful but also fun and having a giggle with us.

Venue itself was nice, disappointed the kitchen closed at 8pm and they have no bar food anymore either.

All supplies provided were very good and of a high quality.
I felt it was good value, however I think k if it's called paint and sip, I think at least one drink should be provided within the cost. Even if the price went up a little I think it would be better.

Will definitely like to come again though, the overall painting experience and teaching was fab.

What was the teacher like?
Absolutely brilliant! So helpful and knowledgeable and when I didn't quite understand the colour spectrum, she came round and showed us the exact colours to use. So encouraging too!

How was the venue (if applicable)?
Great local venue and a nice big private room. If I had to be a bit fussy! I would just say that the lighting could have been a bit better.

If materials were provided, did you like them? Yes excellent materials provided and a good amount of paint and extra if needed which was super.

Was the experience good value for money? Excellent Loved it Music was brilliant and it was a fun evening and I'm so happy with my final painting.

What did you do / learn?
I did the Dandelion painting and I don't really do any art work but the evening was very well planned, organised and fun. I loved my finished painting. Music was great too and a great atmosphere.

What did you like most?
All of it such a brilliant evening and I went on my own too. Would definitely attend again, even if I had to go on my own.

I love Brush Party events and this is a return visit for me. Even though I am a painter/sculptor it's so wonderful to spend an evening with my friend being able to relax and follow along. There's no agenda, just relax and have fun. The hosts are always lovely with encouragement and wise words enabling anyone of any ability, or none, to engage and enjoy. After, I feel so chilled and refreshed it's as good as an expensive massage! Thank you and I will definitely be back again.

Really enjoyed the Brush Party event at Longbridge Mill in Sherfield on Loddon on Wednesday 6th September. Improvements were made to how the upstairs area was laid out so much more seating across two large tables for a large group. Although still fairly snug on the table with palettes, cleaning water, easel and our own drinks. As for the painting itself, I felt that this was a far simpler in construction than the previous Santorini as there was a lot less emphasis on straight lines and we had more scope this time to personalise our paintings. Our teacher and assistant were great at guiding us along throughout the evening including topping up paint, additional palettes, new water, two! breaks and helping when needed on a very hot and humid evening.

Really fun night as ever but not my favourite, seems like they've downgraded some of the materials i.e. watery blue paint, different easels that make dents int he canvas and paint and smaller canvasses - this could all be a supply issue but if not its a shame as it doesn't feel quite as good value for money. Also I would advise checking some of the measurement points as most zebra's ended looking a bit emaciated!
Dont get me wrong, I'd still recommend these evenings, they're great fun, its only as I've been to quite a few that I've noticed the changes.

I was ready for the Watercolour Event by Zoom, at least 30 minutes before it started then at 7pm, I was there and had a shock to find that I couldn't find the button to connect to the class and was too embarrassed to ask Becky how. I had a new pc installed and suddenly, at the crucial time when the class started, I found that I had to log in with Passwords, etc. and couldn't locate the page where I could join the class. i could hear Becky and could see the others but I could not see myself on the Gallery and I believe, no one could see me. I've missed a lot of instructions due to signing in hassle, so simply tried to do my best

The acoustics in the rugby club are poor and echoey, and the high pitch of the instructors voice meant it was very hard to understand at points.

A shame because the girls were nice

Rachel Bradley • Aug 2023

I had not heard of a brush party before, I was given a voucher for it for my birthday. I’m so pleased to have discovered it though as I will definitely repeat the experience. There are so many venues to choose from and times of day to attend, along with a great range of pictures to create so there is the flexibility to select the picture you want to paint and then find a suitable location. The booking process is easy and the organisers were quick to respond to my email. Everything is provided for you and the teacher was so clear and helpful. I looked at the example picture we were going to create and thought I would not have a chance to create anything resembling it, but the step by step instructions from the teacher meant everyone in the room created something you could actually hang on the wall.
The venue (a pub) was good. Near to home. Good parking and it helped make the painting experience more relaxing to sip your drink while painting. Many people had food too.
I think it’s very good value when you think all the materials are provided and you are getting three hours of teacher instruction. You also get a loyalty card so if you go to a certain number of sessions (6 I think) you then get a session free.
A great way to spend an evening and I look forward to going to another one soon.

Nice atmosphere. Love the sunflower theme. Teacher rushed it a bit at the final 3rd quarter of the class. So would be nice if slow down, give everyone a chance to catch up. n then continue her instructions. All in all im pleased with the class n my painting. Location is good, near train station.

Really enjoyed the class. Good teacher who waited for us when we were getting a little behind. All materials provided. Good local venue. So much fun letting loose our creative side. Look forward to the next one. It’s very addictive

Anonymised ClassBento student • Aug 2023

Pub was easy to find, would of been useful to know to park at the station.
It was a smaller venue than I've been to before.
Teacher was good, she sat with me discussing some techniques I could use when I got frustrated. Finished on time. The atmosphere was pleasant and we had a good evening.

Elizabeth Fleming • Aug 2023

Teacher and her support team were great, very friendly and knowledgeable. Was a little bit rapid fire though so hard to bring the details to life. Was fun though, would do again

Martina Pettitt • Aug 2023

Loved the atmosphere, pictures, host, music and loved learning techniques. My only disappointment was the space. It was a bit tight so made it a little uncomfortable and harder to access the materials.

Ceri Jones • Aug 2023

I loved this class and I’ll be booking more. Having not painted since school 30+ years ago and not having been very good then I had a lovely surprise in what I was able to achieve with the step by step instructions and demonstration by the class tutor. Friendly, relaxed, encouraging atmosphere perfect for novices!

Staff were wonderful, really helpful and attentive. However, I felt for them when things went wrong. The microphone fell in a bucket of water and stopped working which meant the music could not be playing as loud. This ruined the party atmosphere. The venue was awful…and our seating position spoilt our night. We couldn’t see what to do and had to work from a piece of paper with a photo of the painting on it. We were seated on the left and the presenter was right handed so therefore had her back to us, covering her canvass. I am extremely disappointed at paying £33 to work from a print out and half of the night with music barely able to be heard. However, I have to stress that staff tried their very best and made every effort to involve everyone.

The teacher was lovely, very encouraging and helpful, we were kept topped up with paint, extra pallets and clean water without any problem.
I loved the painting of a butterfly and feather, was a lovely one to do.

What a fantastic evening! I was sure I could of paint and came away with a painting that I was so proud of!
Brilliant instructor, calm and clear directions.

Gemma was great, and we all had a fabulous evening, very impressed with our final results, Thank you.

Pauline Fairley • Aug 2023

Not my first time at a Brush Party, but this time I took 2 friends, both are now hooked.
We all had a lovely time.
All materials are provided and the instructor talks you through the process, from mixing the colour, picking the correct brush to how and where to apply the paint.
A great evening with friends, food and drink, with a memorable painting to take home. What's not to love?

Clare Sergeant • Aug 2023

Our teacher made it nice and clear as we followed instructions on how to create our painting.

She was really helpful and encouraging and although there were a lot of people doing this session I felt that everyone got the help/direction they needed.

Sandra • Aug 2023

I enjoyed my experience and everything was very well organised by the teacher with all the equipment laid out ready to start. She explained each stage competently and was very ready to help. My companion however had difficulty keeping up and became somewhat stressed with the whole experience. Also she had not painted before and had problems understanding the mixing of colours and how the brushes performed. In conclusion good value for money and great for people with some idea of working with paint. My opinion though for a complete novice, more time for each process is required and therefore not ideal.
The venue was nice but surprised the paint party was held in the bar area. Saying this, it was forgotten once we got going.

Daiva Gar • Aug 2023

I thoroughly enjoyed my first "Brush Party" painting experience!
Our teacher was excellent showing us colour technique and brush application etc! A fabulous time and I hope to see you again for more "Brush Party" fun!
Thanks Daiva

Becky as usual was fab at guiding us through and very supportive I decided to do full face. I hope she managed to get a photo.
It was a small class (8) and I feel that lower numbers per would be much better for all those taking part. In the larger classes and venues it can be very cramped.

Mrs Beavan • Aug 2023

The teacher was friendly and calm and happy to bring her canvas closer if help was requested. Everything you could need was there and top ups of paint, water or mixing plates were available. It was such a relaxing evening.

The venue was ideal. Big enough to have comfortable space but not too big that it lost atmosphere. The class was run and organised really well, perfect speed and clear instructions - everything replenished quickly. Great evening Thankyou

Laura Mentiply • Aug 2023

teacher was ok, did well with explaining how to do the image and mixing paints/giving options etc. could of been bit more enthusiastic or passionate, but did a good job. This is second time doing one as my first one i did was a winter scene and wanted one to replace it in the summer months. this canvas was much smaller which i was a bit dissapointed with. The image was beautiful and it was a fun night out for me and my friends.

Robert Pallant • Aug 2023

Second time of doing this, always good fun. We were outside, under cover but no sides, which was different as it was pouring with rain and a bit chilly but well lit when it got dark. Probably safest to be indoors in this country!

Hannah is a great teacher making you feel relaxed no pressue she is reassuring and gives me confidence .
Alison is very helpful making sure we have clean water plenty of paint and also very encouraging speacially when you feel your painting is just not good enough !
We sat in a open marquee , but typical english weather it was raining heavily and was coning on to our table and it was cold did not enjoy it and I struggled to see my painting , just wasnt enough light !

Paula Fifer • Aug 2023

What a wonderful experience!
Teacher and assistant were so lovely. The class was held at a good pace, All products used like the brushes, were clean and the venue was perfect. Great background music too! I actually learnt a fair amount too like how to blend and strokes with brushes! The three of us who attended tonight’s session would all look to do it again!

Nice relaxing session. Sarah was an amazing teacher. I will definitely book again and recommend

Susan Law • Aug 2023

What a brilliant evening! Sarah was a fantastic teacher: she was very encouraging and explained each stage clearly and with recaps as needed. I have never painted before and could not believe that I would be able to paint anything resembling the sunflowers here but taking it step by step with guidance on mixing colours and building up the picture, I did!
All materials and aprons were provided and all used; more paint was provided if needed. The venue was a pub (paint and sip!) and it was a bit noisy but Sarah used a microphone and so it was no problem. Thank you - I loved it!

This was my 3rd brush party and unfortunately I was quite disappointed by this one. Had this 3rd one been my 1st then I wouldn't have ever booked again. I really enjoyed the previous 2.
The instruction for this one was not clear, there wasn't much help with how to do the strokes, what brushes to use, the whole delivery of it.

Joanna Hartlen • Aug 2023

This was my first Brushparty and I really enjoyed it. The instructions were easy to follow, and we had everything we needed to produce a decent picture.

Fantastic evening painting the summer meadow, great teachers that give you confidence in what you’ve accomplished, loved it!

Jenny Tsang • Aug 2023

Venue was a bit cramped, fewer people would have been better. The teacher only came round the class if someone asked a specific question, it would have been nice for either the teacher or the assistant to move round the room and speak to everyone to offer encouragement / suggestions. Paints, brushes, plates etc easy to use. I would suggest a fresh cup of water be hiven to everyone at the half time break. Overall an enjoyable experience, felt like quite hard work though and had a headache at the end from concentrating so hard.

Jessica James • Aug 2023

The teacher was super supportive and encouraging. I had so much fun painting and meeting new people.

Sarah Beattie • Aug 2023

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

Venue was good and easy to get to off the A33. The teacher was great, offering suggestions, tips and different colour alternatives for those that wanted to experiment. Special mention to the assistant helping us was with paint top-ups, extra palettes as well as napkins which was a much needed throughout the evening. There were a couple of pauses to grab a drink or step back from the canvas.

This particular painting required (at times) a very steady hand and although there were only 10-12 of us we were crammed into half of the upstairs area. I would have preferred to have more individual space in front of us to put all the easels, brushes, water etc.

I think the room setup also was not ideal as the teacher’s canvas was the same size as ours. Perhaps a larger demonstration canvas and the tables set up in a “u” shape would allow everyone to have a similar uninterrupted view of her canvas as well as a smaller sample image visible on the table in front.
Towards the end, it felt quite rushed ( I don't know whether this was down to the complexity of the picture itself) and although I am happy with what I produced on the night, I feel we could have done with another 15 minutes to add our final touches.

I had a lovely and fully immersive time learning techniques to paint a summer meadow from a lovely instructor and her super enthusiastic and helpful assistant. I really enjoyed using the end of my brush to create tiny Cow Parsley flowers, plus how to paint a petal in one stroke. Pure bliss.
The Ampleforth Arms, in Risinghurst was a really good venue. Don't be afraid to go to a class on your own you will be made to feel very welcome and soon get chatting to other painters. I will definitely go along to another class.

Julie Keeble • Aug 2023

The teacher (Sarah) and her lovely assistant (didn't catch her name sorry) were both friendly, relatable, professional, knowledgeable and certainly immensely skilled. I haven't picked up a paint brush since my o'levels in 1978. I am the most uncreative, clumsy and heavy handed person in the world. Their techniques were quite unique and I was absolutely thrilled by my accomplishment. I look forward to my next sitting - I am absolutely hooked. One thing of note. I think 2 palettes should be offered. One to hold the paint and the other for mixing. Or a bigger palette. I for one ran out of room and it was hard to get the right mix in a small space.

Sara Heyward • Jul 2023

Teacher was lovely, friendly and helpful, however I would have appreciated the rookie error I made in marking up the placement of my boat which would have resulted in the the final boat looking more like a boat than a windbreak. My friend and I found the subject harder than we had originally envisaged and things got a bit rushed in the end time-wise. However it was all a useful learning exercise and I learned a few tips and tricks which I had not picked up at a previous class, different teacher and venue.
**ps looking at the photo next to this review page I have to say that the subject looks better as a portrait lay out than the landscape version we were given in the class - just saying x

Gemma was fabulous, very patient and took us through the process step by step. Loved it, would definitely do another one.

Danielle Kennedy • Jul 2023

I attended the class with my 6 year old son and we both had a fab time.

My only slight negative is that the pace was a little fast for him and then me trying to help him while also doing my own painting. The instructor finished about half an hour before the end of the session so there would have been plenty of time to slow the pace a bit.

Lovely class, my third time at Brush Party, but first time at this location with these teachers. Very friendly, great set up, plenty of materials. Easy to follow class with the allowance of veering off if you'd like to slightly adapt your painting. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed the session, and was very proud of the painting I was able to produce - the first one I made as an adult. I always hated art at school because the teachers favoured those who were naturally more artistic, but this experience was completely different. The teacher guided us through step-by-step, and I always knew what I needed to do next. She also monitored regularly to check we were on track. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to have a go at painting, or who'd just like to try something different for an evening.

Liz Penn • Jul 2023

Great venue, great instructor. It does look impossible when you arrive to a blank canvas but it was fun to do and the results were brilliant (from a distance),

Lucy Hudson • Jul 2023

I attended by myself and I sat where I had lots of space and could see the main easel well.
The picture was difficult. The host made it look easy and was talented. We went through and did it in stages. The host checked everyone’s colours often to make sure we had a good colour match. I had my water changed a few times and more paint too.
I wasn’t very talented on the trees, mine looked like an inferno before I asked for help how to improve and it looked better.
I also didn’t blend mine that well with the green on the grass.
I enjoyed singing along to the music.
Next time I will ask for more help so I am happier with my final result.
I will also attend on an easier picture!

It was easy to follow along with the instructions and produced some decent paintings, especially with little experience! Everything is supplied for you and it’s a very relaxed atmosphere.

I found the lighting on Becky's screen to be a bit bright so the initial painting (1st & 2nd layers) were not clear on the screen
and I had to make do with my imagination.
I am not very proud of my Painting

Love a brush party event! Beautiful painting and easy steps to follow :-) venue was easy! Some of the instructions needed a little bit more time in between.

Charlotte Rueppel • Jul 2023

Really enjoyed the whole experience. Came away with something far better than I expected. The teacher was super helpful and patient especially when mixing paints. Would definitely do it again.

Rhiannon Entwistle • Jul 2023

Our teacher was amazing; she was funny, great at explaining what we needed to do and was obviously a talented artist. We really enjoyed the class and will definitely come back for another one but maybe at a different venue.

As always, Becky is an amazing teacher. Brilliant at simplifying the scary steps of painting an actual horses head with plenty of reassurance and feedback. I love the Zoom classes over the YouTube ones as it allows for midway guidance and support, and seeing all the finished paintings at the end is just an amazing feeling of accomplishment. Every class I attend, I pick up a new technique and my confidence grows in leaps and bounds!
Thank you again, Kajsa

Thank you so much Beckie!

Venue fantastic, lovely teacher.
Only downside was we didn’t have the correct blue to make the colour as per the picture we were painting, so none of them looked like one we were doing, very disappointing as that was the colour that really makes it

Love a good Brush Party and the concept is great. Yesterday’s was no exception and I came home with a lovely picture to be proud of.

Sue McKiernan • Jul 2023

I felt the session was not a good one for first timers. It felt rushed, advanced and overwhelming in places. I had booked it to help celebrate my elderly mother's birthday but no allowances were made to take this into account and we ended up having to leave early as my mother was too distressed to complete the session. My friends enjoyed it.

Tracy Rogers • Jul 2023

This is the third brush party I have done and I thought that the greatest improvement was a problem with the music which couldn’t be played through the amplifier so we just got the background pub music. It was great for hearing the teacher and being able to speak to others at the table. A much more relaxing evening to paint. Excellent teacher and assistant. Most enjoyable.

Mrs Rance • Jul 2023

Teacher was great really patient and went nice and slow so we could catch up! The assistant was also great! Both women were very friendly and had a great sense of humour! Nothing was too much trouble for either of them. All the materials were provided and topped up when ever needed. The venue itself was lovely, really nice to be put in the marquee but there were 2 things that let it down, the parking (or lack of shall I say) and the picnic style benches were horrendous! So uncomfortable! That's the reason I only gave 4 stars which is a real shame but I've got the worst back ache now which isn't great.

I had a headache and I was late and struggled to log in but Becky (the Teacher), was as usual, very good in giving drawing instructions and I managed to catch up somehow. I might be able to do an improved drawing if I get the chance but I am quite happy with what I learned and achieved tonight. Each lesson is a learning experience.
Thank you Becky and Brush Party Club.

Kajsa Pot • Jul 2023

So much fun! The class started a few minutes early so I missed the instructors name but it must be so hard to teach without any feedback from the painters. I sent a few messages in the chat during the class which were straight away picked up. Quite happy with my result (I’ve been doing brushparty a lot over the last years so am confident with most techniques) even though the ear is still on the large side. I might paint her again on a larger canvas as my brushes were a little too large for my 9x12” as after this great class (and the snap I took of the circle with clock markers and the super instructions) I know I can do it! Looking forward to the next painting!

Catrin Holme • Jul 2023

Relaxed environment. Clear instructions. Help when needed. Friendly atmosphere. FUN.

Had a fabulous time, the teacher was really good gave everyone the time they needed. Honestly thought I’d never be able to paint a flamingo but I did Venue was lovely and I think it was great value for money, everything we needed was provided. Also loved the playlist. In the photo I’m the one in the middle. It was a great way to spend my birthday with friends. Will definitely do another one. Thank you

Glyn Goodwin • Jul 2023

The class was friendly and I enjoyed it.
It was the first one I had been tobut I went with a friend who had been before, which was nice. My only criticism was that I found it tricky to understand the presenting lady .There were two ladies who were helpingone leading and explaining step by step and one checking we all had plenty of paint etc. The lady presenting had quite a strong accent and a gentle voiceso dispite wearing a mic for volume I was struggling to understand some of the info she gave .
Obv I could follow the actions so did not make any fuss. Overall a good classreasonable feeand I enjoyed it

Jennnifer Peers • Jul 2023

We really enjoyed our evening, there were lots of laughs. The teacher and her assistant were very good, the venue was beautiful, although parking for the pub was limited and we ended up parking in a public carpark which was a little distance away - within easy walking distance, but it might be worth mentioning so that extra time can be allowed.
Other than that, everything else was excellent and we would certainly come again.

Claire Estcourt • Jul 2023

We attended a paint party as a leaving do for a work colleague and had such a giggle. The relaxed atmosphere and funky music to sing along to was perfect. The tutor was lovely and very motivational, complementing everyone’s work (even if we hadn’t stuck to the brief!). From novice to expert painter, everyone creates something special at a pace that is achievable for all involved. You start off thinking “there’s no way I can paint that” and end by saying “wow, I did it!”Simple step by step instructions with techniques that everyone can achieve makes the evening so much fun. And you come away with your very own masterpiece to treasure Loved every minute and can’t wait to go to another event.

Samantha Gomm • Jul 2023

What a fantastic event! As a first timer and someone who doesn't have an artistic bone in their body, I was amazed at how easy it was to follow the teacher, Katie. She was really supportive, helpful and friendly.
I learnt techniques with the different type brushes, mixture of paints with the water to make the correct consistency and to trust the process!
I'm quite impressed with the price, 3 hours painting, all supplies provided and you take away a great piece of artwork!

Loved it! Katie was a fab teacher, really lovely - and very tolerant of us all! The venue was fab (I preferred it to the last place I went but that's just personal - the fact this one had a pizza place attached was brilliant!). The pace of the class was good and my friend and I are very pleased with our Flamingos even though we're still VERY self-critical! (Another half an hour to fettle it at the end would've been great for perfectionists!). If anyone is considering doing one of these classes and isn't sure - go for it! They really are for everyone, regardless of age, skill, gender Love Brush Party!

Paula Wilkinson • Jun 2023

We had a great time. The team were brilliant very helpful with advice and encouragement. The pace was perfect and the guidance means I’m now a very proud owner of a flamingo.

The experience was good, as usual, but the venue let it down. Unfortunately it was impossible to hear as the pub obviously still had customers who were noisy and you couldn't hear the instructor, even with the microphone. Which made it hard to keep up. It won't put me off going to a different venue, I just wouldn't prob go back to this one. The picture was harder than I thought it would be, like any animal, getting the proportions right is key.

Plenty of space in the room. Could hear the teacher well. She explained everything well whilst showing us. It was fun I e not painted anything since school. The teacher at school was not a good teacher. I surprised myself with what I ended up with. Well worth the money & was a fab evening. Everyone’s all turned out well but all different. Would recommend if you fancy ago but like me can’t paint. Just shows you can learn new tricks when you’ve just turned 60.

Really good teacher - explained everything really well and made it fun.
I hadn't painted anything - even a wall - since art at school where the teacher made fun of those of us who were less talented! None of that with Brush Party plus you can eat and drink as you paint - I love it!

Jessica Boulain • Jun 2023

Painted 3 ducklings. Great instruction and advice given. My painting turned out much better than I hoped!

Julia Williams • Jun 2023

This was my first experience of brush party and I must say I found it most enjoyable. The teacher was pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. The brushes provided were ok but feel another one or two more would have been welcome. No shortage of paint and paper towels. The venue was nice but we were upstairs on a hot day and with the additional lighting it was rather warm. I would recommend this to friends and hopefully be able to attend another brush party soon.

It didn't help that my art teacher used to take the Mickey out of my attempts in front of the whole class so huge leap for me

Huge thanks to Brush Party and Gemma. Will definitely be back.

I did feel the ending part was a bit rushed - there seemed to be plenty of time left, as the listed end time was 10pm, but things were wrapped up quite quickly and I struggled to follow the last few steps. Didn't matter so much, as I could just leave bits out I didn't care about.

The event did say the pub would have food available till 9pm, but in fact the Postboys' kitchen is still not open and the food vans weren't in attendance that day. Would be good to get the venue info updated, as otherwise I'd have made sure I ate something before coming along.

Leanne Bennett • Jun 2023

An overall fantastic evening out of the normal routine. Something I'll definitely do again

Lisa Thornton • Jun 2023

I enjoyed the class, though had to admit that the picture was very challenging and took ages, probably a bit too long for me, especially as we had to use the breaks to catch up! The teacher wasn't as helpful and engaging as previous teachers and seemed to go incredibly quickly to fit everything in. I will come back, but will be looking at the pictures first and booking onto those that are simpler. We

Sandra Love • Jun 2023

Thoroughly enjoyed my evening, standard of teaching good. Positive help provided to those who needed it. Materials were plentiful. Good value for money. Venue is nice, able to eat beforehand which is useful for people coming from work. Art room well set out.

Beautiful venue in an old mill house.
The class was great, but place settings too close together, hardly could move. They did provide an extra table when asked, so all turned out fine in the end.

Jill Lamond • Jun 2023

A very enjoyable evening following clear instructions from a great teacher! I would definitely do this again - I cant believe I painted a picture!

Hannah Bessell • Jun 2023

Had a fabulous evening painting a Highland cow. The girls were amazing, instructions simple to follow, we had plenty of paint and materials and were allowed to let our artistic flair take over. Highly recommend this type of art class as you are allowed to have a sneaky drink or two.

Alekhia Nippani • Jun 2023

Great class, simplified a complex looking painting to make it easy for beginners like myself to create something beautiful.

Julie Edwards • Jun 2023

Just got home from my 1st Brush party and I'm buzzing. It was such good fun. Wasn't sure what to expect, but it exceeded my expectations. You are talked through the painting step by step, so you don't need any art skills. Although I needed a bit more time for perfection, I'm still happy with my end produce. It
was a very well run evening by 2 lovely and welcoming organisers. I will definitely book again. Best Monday I've had for a long time. Thank you so much.

Mrs Nitsche • Jun 2023

I signed up to join the Brushparty experience held at The Five Arrows in Waddesdon on 15th June and was very impressed on early arrival to find an extremely well laid out spacious and airy room with absolutely everything you could possibly need to enjoy a brand new experience. The event was extremely popular and presentation perfect. The stage by stage explanation given to create something I never thought was possible by me was clear and made delightfully funny which removed any worries I had about lack of ability. This being the main concern of all was clearly overcome going by everyone’s results. Cannot thank you and your wonderful team enough for making this an experience I want to repeat - sign me up for the next one in my area I want to see what else I am capable of Lesley N

All I have to say is they are just brilliant! It was a wonderful evening spent with a lovely group of ladies

Tracey Henry • Jun 2023

This was our first brush party.
The room was fine but the positioning of the small table we were on meant one of us didn’t get a good view of what Katie was doing. But she did realise this and moved her easel back which helped.
She was encouraging and did keep asking if anyone needed help.
It was a fun experience.

Jess Lett • Jun 2023

The whole evening was fantastic!
Lovely teacher and very patient with everyone. The venue was perfect for the type of event and loved the vibe of the evening. Learnt a lot from this and will definitely be doing this again. Lovely team. Thankyou for a great evening!

Timea Grof • Jun 2023

Fantastic experience! We had a great teacher who provided easy-to-follow instructions. All the materials were nicely prepared for us before arrival, including the paint, water, brushes and canvas. The venue felt a little too crowded but overall good atmosphere with nice background music.

Sophie Whittle • Jun 2023

Always good as usual. Enough material for everyone , good teacher, very chilled out and relaxing.
Could do with some finer brushes so extra finer detail can be made to animals when creating fur and finer strokes made to leaves , flowers and trees.

Derek Houseman • Jun 2023

Excellent instructor.
Ample materials.
Great venue for a Summer’s evening, very atmospheric.
My first ever session, very well structured, straightforward to follow, instructor very informative and approachable.

Lisa Rutland • Jun 2023

The teacher was friendly and helpful. It was quite late starting and felt quite rushed in a way that my previous experiences weren't. I had a great time and enjoyed the painting even though I was really out of my comfort zone I felt it was a little expensive, the canvas was much smaller than I have used at previous Brush Party events, therefore not the best value for money.

To be honest I didn't really enjoy this class, maybe watercolour isn't my thing but I had high hopes.

To be fair on Becky I was away o holiday and doing the class on a slightly windy terrace overlooking a lake so I was probably a bit distracted.

It's a shame these watercolor classes don't appear to be on the brush party club on demand videos as I would really like to have another go of this one (now I know the mistakes I made first time round)

Ali Holstead • Jun 2023

Had a great evening. The venue was really good and the teacher was fun and went at our pace. Couldn't believe the end result, it was much better than I'd anticipated. Would definitely recommend it

Great fun had at The Brush Party at The Mill in Elstead. Gemma kept reassuring us that we would have Highland Cows at the end and we all came away happy. Had a lot of laughs. Plenty of breaks to get a drink. Plentiful painting supplies and Gemma was so knowledgeable and helped us individually when we were unsure. I’ll definitely be booking another one.

I enjoyed this Watercolour Painting tonight. I started on time and I did not feel stressed. My Starfish was done on A3 paper for Watercolour and it was a bit too slim so when the session ended, I did another painting (on my own, from memory) on an A4 paper and this time, my Starfish was in better shape. I started at 8:58pm and by 9:28pm, I was happy with my work and called it "Done."
Becky, as usual, is a very Good Teacher (my favourite!).

This was the perfect event for my 7 year old daughter and I to do together. It was fun to have our own easels and paints and the teacher was very clear with her step by step instructions which we all followed together at the same pace. Every painting was different but the quality was good all round, everyone was pleased with the end result. I highly recommend this!

Teacher was very good at explaining and encouraging.
However, due to the venue, people came into the bar from elsewhere and we're talking loudly which made it difficult to hear and focus.
Overall we enjoyed the experience.

This time I found the topic too advanced for beginners and not enough time to complete. Also the venue was open to football players, supporters and people at the bar who were amongst us making lots of noise so it was difficult to hear the tutor. Nice place but we needed exclusive use.

Mrs Rance • May 2023

6 ClassBento workshops attended • 5 reviews

The class started fairly late due to people not turning up on time which then made us have less time painted as we had to wait for them. The poor girl running the class had no helper so was teaching the class and running around after us. I asked for a new plate 3 times and got told I didn't need it plus several of us asked for clean water and we're again told we didn't need it even though we were going from black to white. Because we were behind on time the instructor went too fast and I felt she was a little irrated by us not keeping up. I have come home with a painting I don't like because the class was rushed and not enough help was given. Then the poor instructor had to pack everything away at the end which I don't think is fair.
This is the third one I've done and it's sad that I felt like this because I normally love them. Just felt like there wasn't enough time.

There was nothing wrong with the actual activity, but the venue was so noisy it was hard to follow what was going on.
I've been to the venue before and it has been fine, but tonight there waere other noisy events going on in the same space. After tonight, I dont think I would go back to Yateley football club again unless they said that they didn't have another event on at the same time

I have done lots of Brush Parties - in person and online - and this teacher was just as lovely as all the others. The venue is handy for me and the room a good size. I noticed the canvas was smaller than I have had before, but this wasn't a problem, and all other materials were available throughout.I've always felt the evening is good value for money and I pick up new skills each time I go. I really like the atmosphere and how everyone encourages and admires everyone elses work.

I was excited yet nervous about the evening, but it was all great! The host was friendly and engaging, the helpers were on their toes and the whole atmosphere was fun. Having looked at the group photos and those from previous groups, I believe the host guided everyone very well as everyone's painting looked great with its own character. Will definitely do it again and already recommended it to others! Thank you for a great evening!

Esther Dean • May 2023

Thank you for the most enjoyable evening. Millie was a great teacher and I can’t believe we all managed to recreate ‘a great hare day’. Randall’s was a fab venue and the music, wine and wonderful antipasti boards made for a wonderful and fun evening with friends. Would highly recommend.

It was a shame that one group kept talking over the top of the instructor making a little harder to hear all the instructions.

Tamara Hine • May 2023

A funa citivity but we had sat at a wobbly table, and I had a broken Easel so I had to hold my canvas for a large amount of the evening. The table that was placed in the middle of the room but it quickly became clear that we were in the way as we were constantly knocked and moving out of the way of people moving around the room.

Nicola Freeman • May 2023

Great thing to do with friends.
Might be easier if the teacher painted a larger version so all can see
A little but more room would have been good.
But enjoyed it.

Keith Yeomans • May 2023

Great evening. Most enjoyable. Instructor was very good. Venue was fine. My wife and I will look into doing further sessions but nearer to home.

Deborah Stent • May 2023

Fun, friendly supportive, have been several times and this one was the liveliest, with a loud pa so if you want to be nearer to the main person painting the example of how etc, I suggest arriving early and sitting away from the pa if like me over the years of coming here my eyesight and hearing is not as it once was lol! soo much fun! every time and many paintings and techniques to learn, would highly recommend.

The entire evening we were next to a group of men who were drinking at the pub , they would not stop shouting and swearing and coming over to us and making us feel uncomfortable . No staff intervened and it did taint the evening…
would love to attend another party but think a more rural pub or setting would be nicer and more appropriate!

Mary Treadwell • May 2023

Very good, went a bit quick in places and I could have done with a bit more guidance, I ended up sat at the back and couldn’t see or hear very well. The venue was very busy and there was a lot of people who came over while we were painting which wasn’t very nice

Theresa Bird • May 2023

What a great evening. Spending time with friends learning a new skill. The teacher was lovely, really helpful and provided us with everything we needed. I would definitely go again.

Suzie Kenny • May 2023

It was really fun and felt like a steady pace! Made relatively easy and good resources provided.

Fiona Holland • May 2023

Teacher was great simple steps to follow. Kept supplies topped up and clear and precise instructions given. Was such a lot of fun

I love a good Brush Party. This was my 6th! I don't think I've done one with Katie before and she was so enthusiastic and complimentary. Her pace was really good too.
The venue was good and I loved the fan brushes which I haven't used before. It was great Katie showed us different techniques for different effects so everyone's picture was so different. Highly recommend brush party!

Hi
This was my second class and i do love them.

The set up was different to the first one and we were not sat facing the the front of the class but sideways on.
What would be lovely - would be to have more examples on the tables if possible.

Love the class - loved the teacher and assistants.

Cannot wait for the next one

This was my first paint and sip class and I had so much fun! I will definitely go again, my only criticism is that there do not seem to be any over the weekend and 7-10 pm is quite late for a work night. Over all, my mum and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening and are very pleased with our paintings too.

Sue Boyle • May 2023

Katy was great, very clear, helpful and went at a good pace. It was good having Emma there to ti top up paint and guide us. Both were very positive and encouraging.

Hannah Abulhawa • May 2023

Venue was great. Teacher rushed a lot and wasn't hugely attentive to what was going on in the room. It was a complex painting I'm not sure if it was too difficult this time?

Helen Bowsher • May 2023

The instructor was great. Friendly and helpful and split the steps down so they were easy to follow. The venue was slightly cramped but we managed! We found the class really good fun and would definitely do another one.

Sue Atkins • May 2023

What a lovely picture to paint. Learnt some new brush techniques from our tutor who kept us motivated and was always helpful when we doubted our ability. Looking forward to the next one.

Despite being the tutor being new I thought she did very well but obviously not as rehearsed as the more experienced teachers. The other tutors on hand were excellent and very encouraging, even when I decided to go a bit rogue. A really lovely evening as always.

The teacher Gemma was very good, the venue was nice and the staff friendly. The only negative was that we felt a bit crammed in together.

Louise Miller • May 2023

A super evening with brilliant instructors and a lovely atmosphere. I couldn’t believe that I came away with something that resembled the picture! Everything you needed was provided so it was great value for money too. Would definitely recommend, and would definitely try it again!

Another wonderful class. The Bad Hare Day was slightly trickier than the owl picture I did but again, just like the owl painting session, everyone was surprised that the actually managed to produce a hare! Guided step by step. It's knowing when to put that paint brush down Oh maybe just a bit more yellow here Oh I need to do my fur again. Also slightly more difficult keeping up tonight. A slower pace would have made it the tops.

Philippa Patterson • May 2023

This was our third go at the sip and brush Party the lady that took the class was brilliant, took time to let us finish the bit we were doing and even came round to see if we needed any help, which was appreciated, if there is anything to slightly say is that the little brush could be thinner, as I have a heavy ha d

Lisa Williams • May 2023

Had a lovely evening out with a friend learning some new skills. The instructor was very thorough and answered questions and offered advice when needed.
The venue was a little cramped, but fun was had by all, I would definitely go again.

The teacher was very personable and relaxed whilst keeping everything on track. The difficulty level increased after each 10 minute break (nicely timed for visits to the bar) and yet everyone in the room had a nice painting by the end. There was a fun atmosphere in the room with music playing in the background throughout. The venue is a great choice with a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks available for those who are driving. The food available for order was delivered upstairs to the event room and the nachos were very popular!

Nicola Cook • May 2023

This class was really difficult to follow. Couldn’t hear the instructor, she often started paining with Jo instruction of colours or which brush to use. This is my 2nd class at this venue and I won’t be booking again. It was more stressful than fun

Donna Stoneman • May 2023

3 ClassBento workshops attended

Very rushed. Didn’t trhinknwe we’re given Enough information on placement of different subjects within the painting which meant things looked off scale to the original. Maybe it was just a difficult one!

Natalie Barros • May 2023

Great evening. The two ladies teaching / helping were lovely and patient. Millie's final painting was amazing compared to my own. It was really well executed. The steps were taught in stages although, I was a little slower so always felt I was on catch up. For my first class it was ok, I am a perfectionist and it felt stressful to start with. With a few more classes I am sure my creative spirit will let lose.

Sharon Welch • Apr 2023

Struggled to hear the instructions as the microphone gave terrible feedback. At a previous class someone assisted with getting fresh water paint and napkins. In this class a man sat in the corner on his laptop and we had to get everything ourselves. I wouldn't pay to attend a class with these two again

Clare Buck • Apr 2023

2 ClassBento workshops attended

Venue was good. Easy to find and easy to access. Event was well organised and the teacher and assistants were friendly and approachable. For the majority of the class the pace was just right but once we got to the more technical part after the break, where we needed to be more accurate then the pace sped up which was a bit disappointing. I really enjoyed this class though and out of the three I have done this was my favourite.

Venue was good although a little tight on space in the room, hosts were lovely & made it a fun evening. I felt like they went a little too fast at the beginning so felt like I was playing catch up the whole time! parking was easy & it was very local for me which was a bonus!

Having been to one party before, I thought my Mum and Sister-in-law would enjoy it and they certainly did. It is great value for money and a truly entertaining evening. Hilarious and therapeutic all in the same evening.
This venue was not so nice, quite a smelly Pub, we were glad we ate beforehand.
The host (Emma, I think) was fantastic, as was her assistant. I had Emma before and was very glad to see her.
We will definitely be booking again, probably at a different venue.

I had a lovely night just a shame I got lost in roadworks so was late. Teacher was great, seemed more relaxed than last class I went to. The Venue and staff however were underwhelming.
I learn something each time, like different techniques with the brushes.
I think the classes are value for money.

Teacher was best yet. Explained really well.

The venue and seating didn’t allow for good view of teacher’s canvass, which wasn’t ideal, but didn’t stop us from having a great evening out.

Neda Bajaj • Apr 2023

Once we got started it was great fun, my friends and I really enjoyed it.

The session was a little slow to start due to late comers which was unfortunate given most people were on time.

The artist was very friendly and helpful - was sometimes hard to hear due to the volume of the music in the pub but otherwise thoroughly enjoyed the eve.

Sophie Gwin • Apr 2023

It was a great night. It was reasonably priced. Paint, brushes and canvas was supplied. Great venue. Teacher was very good and helpful.

The venue was too cramped with very little space to place a drink aswell as the painting equipment. It was hard to follow the instructor due to cramped conditions and noise. It wasn't a relaxing experience in which to explore my creativity.
The helper was great and was on hand to encourage and provide what was needed.

The intructors where friendly and approachable, the venue was quite nice with the outdoor area away from the pub. It was great that materials were supplied though i would have liked some thinner brushes for detail. It was good fun but it felt rushed on places which took away from the experience. Overall it was a good experience and I'd like to go again

How can you complain, I learnt stuff I never knew, met lovely people, had great instruction, and listened to a fun playlist from about 2010 it's was brilliant fun and I would highly recommend. Also I painted a picture kind of badly but that wasn't the fault of anyone except mine.

Great venue ✅
The teacher was fab, enthusiastic and was very generous with her time/happy to help when I made a mistake. She gave me some tips on how to paint the ducks which was really helpful. A really enjoyable experience. I cannot think of any way to improve? Maybe from a hospitality point of view, a drinks order could’ve been taken by the staff at the interval ( The separate bar inside the building was not opened which would’ve been nice). Will be booking again.

Mrs Rice • Apr 2023

Daughter bought my husband two tickets for his birthday. We were surprised to find he was the only man there among about 35 women! Shame the experience doesn't seem to appeal to men as much, as we both really enjoyed it. I didn't have a clue where to start on a painting, so learned a lot in a fun way. A very enjoyable evening.

We painted 3 little ducks at waddesdon 5 arrows. The teacher was very friendly and helpful and we all had a really great time. I went with 3 friends who hadn't been before and they thoroughly enjoyed it and were amazed at what they'd achieved.

Chantelle Kingsbury • Apr 2023

Great teacher, great pub, lots of fun, will defo do it again. Will come again

Jane Brown • Apr 2023

We enjoyed the event but we felt cramped for space, the lighting was poor and from the distance we were sitting it was difficult to see the detail of the brush strokes that the teacher made. Also the music needed to be reduced during the teaching time but the choice of tunes was great.

Denise Lewis • Apr 2023

Really good outcome- all successful.
Enjoyable evening
Light was terrible in the venue- not the fault of your company but it made it hard to see the colours being used.

I’m an art novice and haven’t tried since I was at school donkeys years ago. The tuition was good, with breaks, lots of novices in the room and it was a fun evening and there wasn’t a bad picture in the room at the end. We are eager to try another class.

This was my 3rd class and I found it very difficult. It was hard to concentrate in this venue with the open, noisy space and made the presenter sound quite quiet. It was nice to be with friends doing something different, but it was definitely one of the harder paintings I have done so far, which is funny, as it looks like it has less detail. It didn't end up looking like the picture advertised but it's still a fun evening with friends. Thanks

Pauline Hall • Apr 2023

Lovely evening at the Sip & Paint. The teacher was very patient and explained everything clearly. Hadn’t done anything like this since school so was rusty to say the least! My friends and I are delighted with our masterpieces. Would love to come on another class.

This class was great. The teacher was really knowledgeable about watercolour painting. I learn lots of different techniques and it was fun to apply these techniques during the class. The class is interactive and friendly so you can ask questions throughout. It was great seeing all the different colour creations everyone had come up with. My painting will definitely be going up on my wall.

Nicola Cook • Apr 2023

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

It was my first brush party and overall it was fun but I really struggled to hear the instructor, the music was too loud and when she turned the mic up the music went up, so talking without a mic made it really difficult to hear the instructions so we had to keep asking her to repeat herself. She would ask you to mix colours then tell you what brush to use and tell you to dip in water before dipping in paint but it was all too late and therefore confusing.
We got there in the end, but it was a little stressful!

Rina Ward • Apr 2023

4 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

The host was brilliant, clear instructions lots of patience. All equipment provided and excellent materials. I loved the tuition and the topic. However, there was a little too much noise from the pub so sometimes a little difficult to hear all the instructions. Otherwise, a nourishing experience.

I enjoyed the watercolour session and felt relaxed even though I was late for a few minutes. I panicked a bit when I realised I was far behind but didn't let it discourage me. My painting was in a darker shade and mostly blue but I intend to do another one in lighter creamy and pinker shades.
I'll get better with practice.

Liz Wilkinson • Apr 2023

The Drawing Class was superb again. I was late and missed the first instructions and didn't really want to distract becky and the class by asking too many questions so O decuided to just get on with it and try to catch up.
My Teapot was not as rounded as I would have liked it to be but I am happy with it.
I vould try to draw a more rounded shape next time, if I get a chance, now that I have got the knowledge of what to do about it.

Very good evening, lots of fun, if the teacher was going to fast you would just say and she would slow down or go back over what she had just done, they also come around and check see how you are getting on and if you need any help.

Elaine Macgregor • Apr 2023

What a fabulous evening which I recommend to anyone who can’t draw like me. The teacher was great at explaining in easy to figure it out terms, patient and she came round and checked how everyone was doing, the paint, brushes and aprons and canvass were provided and you got to bring home your masterpiece. Great for 3 hours of fun. The venue worked well and the layout of the tables for everyone to see what the teacher was doing. The tunes were awesome and we had a giggle. One thing I would ask is for complete beginners a little 5mins at the beginning would be great to show how to use the brush to get the hair looking soft. But that was because we were drawing a Hare for Easter. However mine turned out great as did everyone’s and super fun. Will happily pay for another sip and paint night as it’s worth every penny

Alison Parry • Apr 2023

The tutor was very friendly and it was a very enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere. The session was suitable for beginners and I completed a lovely, fun piece of art. I will definitely attend another party :-)

We arranged a Paint at Home party for a work virtual social and it was a nice way to break up the day and focus on something creative! Everyone had a great time and Sue, our painting guide, was engaging and knowledgeable. Our painting kits were also delivered really quickly by courier, and we were given info about where kits were delivered for those who weren't at home - super helpful! Highly recommend and would happily take another class with Brush Party!

I went to The Ostrich Inn in Colnbrook, which is a beautiful venue. The Inn has a lot of history to it and the room that we use is cosy and warm and has a really good feel to it. Our teacher was Kate and she was excellent. Her teaching skills are amazing and I learnt some new skills . All materials are provided and we can get topped up at any time, so never feel that we are going to run out of paint etc. I love coming to the Brush Parties because I cannot paint or draw to save my life but I always come away feeling as if I have achieved something and I notice that I am improving. The Busy Bees, I think, is my favourite so far and the venue is my favourite venue. Busy Bees looked difficult to do before I started but, the way that Kate showed us how to do it, made it completely possible.

There is always a great atmosphere with music in the background and great camaraderie.

The venue tonight was stunning in an old Tudor pub.
I’m really getting the hang now of different ways of putting paints onto canvas, so much so my bees actually looked like bees! What more could I ask for, I loved it.

It was good, and I loved the funky Moo however we sadly did not get our sip which is shame when it’s included in the price, also it was hard to hear Hannah and although she came round with 26 of us it was quite a few, this is my 5th one and normally there are 3 people so you can always get help if you need it.

I was sitting at the back so couldn't see the colours that were mixed or detail of the painting at the front of the room. I got up in the break times to have a look but by then, it was too late.

Had a great time, 3rd be down and getting the hang of certain brush strokes. The tutor this evening was great helped anyone that needed it and very good at explaining what was happening. I still go through the curve of my picture looks ok, to this isn’t anything like it, to ending with a picture that resembles the finished subject. Still amazes me :0)

Sarah Walker • Mar 2023

Pace was too quick. Instructor seemed to be oblivious that we were behind and not following the instructions fully. Too much time spent helping individuals which meant we then had to rush as a group. Not as good as previous brush parties I've attended.

Really enjoyed the painting, the finished picture almost made me look like an artist. The teacher was lovely and it was a very friendly atmosphere.
The only downside is we were packed in like sardines with no elbow room or places to put and reach our drinks easily, I ended up with paint on my clothes because of this. A bit more space and it would be 5*.

Elsie Bester • Mar 2023

Kristina Qureshi • Mar 2023

Liked the structure of the class and how it’s run. The main artist was friendly, lovely and kept checking on all of our work as we went along. Her assistant obviously doesn’t like his job. Not necessarily a people person.
Hated the venue. Had punters in there swearing and talking really loud. The layout was quite packed in.
Would do it again but definitely not at this pub!

The teacher was very good and helpful and was good at giving advice. Great venue.

Lauriane Ramos • Mar 2023

Loved the concept: music, a nice glass of wine, a blank canvas and friendly teachers to guide you. It is the perfect chilled and creative evening, fantastic way to disconnect. Had no idea i could actually paint something and recognise straight away what it is- will definitely go again. Thank you!

Abi • Mar 2023

September was awesome! Very relaxed and clear. I loved the class and love my painting. I learnt lots. Thank you so much :0)

I am happy with what I have painted. Watercolour and me are not the best of friends yet but I am loving it. I know I don't have to have exactly the same result as what the Teacher (Becky) did but for someone like me who never had any formal lesson in Painting (esp with Watercolour) until the 1st Lockdown in England started (23 March 2020), I think I cannot complain. Brush party has awakened my desire to draw/paint I had done some drawings when I was a very young girl using crayons for colour and althiugh watercolour blocks were available in my childhood, I never really got to grips with it. Thank you Brush Party.

Evelyn Mills • Mar 2023

The online class was as usual, enjoyable. The Teacher (September) was clear and bubbly and guided us through the steps in the painting. I will probably do some improvements in mine but so far, I am happy with it (with or without any improvement.
Thank you Brush Party.

The class was a gift and i was not expecting to enjoy it but pleased to confirm that i did enjoy!
Teacher was very nice.
I was very suprised at how good the painting turned out, there was a lot of serious artists in attendance.
But even as a novice mine wasnt too awful

What a great evening! Claire explained the painting step by step, in a relaxed atmosphere , engaging with her audience. Everything was beautifully set up for our arrival, with brand new brushes! The Woburn is a great venue, with very helpful staff although drinks are a bit pricy. But all worth it! A great evening of painting, learning and chatting !

Hi we had a great time painting with you again but felt the group was a little too big on this occasion (over 20 of us). We struggled to see the colours being mixed and had to ask on several occasions what we were doing. I can understand the fast pace due to the detail but the tutor was not as open and bubbly with us on this particular evening….but still enjoyed it!

Katie Evans • Mar 2023

Really nice atmosphere :) teacher was friendly and made instructions super clear
Great music too! Will definitely be returning

Great evening; only criticism was that as someone attending on my own, no effort was made to put me with sociable people which made it a bit awkward for me.

Chris Bishop • Mar 2023

The class was very good, but the teacher didn’t do such a good job of explaining as previous classes, but she was very engaging no complaints x

Great class. Learnt different techniques to make the flowers look 3D. Really pleased with the final drawing. The zoom format makes it interactive and you can ask questions and show your drawing to the teacher for feedback as you go along. Friendly relaxed atmosphere too.

Kim Woodley • Mar 2023

I was a bit disappointed that the canvases were smaller than usual. The teacher was great, so was the venue and the assistants.
My daughter is autistic and only just diagnosed at 21, she lost her confidence and this made her smile all night

Anita Birtles • Mar 2023

Loved doing the painting but felt a bit rushed. The tutor moved on very quickly before you had time to get the paint on. It was a little difficult to see what she was doing. If I do another one, I will get there early so I can sit closer to the tutor and eat beforehand.

Tracy Scanlon • Mar 2023

A really fun class and as always great tuition and materials. I really enjoyed some of the techniques for this one, especially highlighting with white at the end. Unfortunately, the light in the venue could have been a bit better.

Irmina Kumsacka • Mar 2023

I enjoyed the class. It was definitely more relaxed/easier than the big city lights painting. I would like a smallest brush to be more pointy/smaller as hard to make precise lines.

Sue Clarke • Feb 2023

Being total novices, myself and daughter Hannah, we were excitedly anxious. No need to be though. Our teacher and supporting staff were amazing. We felt relaxed and totally at home and soon (well 3 hours later) came away with our first "masterpieces". The venue was difficult to get to as we were outside London, however the actual hotel was warm and very welcoming. Would definitely like to attend again and would recommend to friends. Thank you so much.

Maryna Koicheva • Feb 2023

Teacher and assistant were great. Venue very good but tables a little too crowded together for my liking. If made getting out to get a drink or go to the loo complicated.

A finer brush or one in better condition would have been useful for the painting we did.

Janet Humphries • Feb 2023

My first experience, I was not able to see very well, probably my broadband was playing up, but I could follow, just. Tutor was lovely, however I was taught never to use white or black when mixing watercolour so was a bit thrown. Hopefully I can use the recording to have another go.

This was SO much fun! The teacher was clear and patient, and there was help whenever we needed it either with guidance on the painting, or to refill our paints from the second helper. It was excellent and I came home with a surprisingly good painting! Thank you!

Enjoyed Polar Magic and the resulting painting. It was good fun. Venue was good and although you were worried that we may not hear you, we could easily hear you at the back. We found the night good value for money and would like to attend again, but the hours drive in traffic will put me off. Hopefully more will come about nearer Farnham and Guildford , fingers crossed
Thanks for a great night

Claire Onody • Feb 2023

Really enjoyed it but on this occasion I think a slightly bigger canvas would have made it easier to do the Polar Bear! Teacher went a bit too quickly at the beginning

Helen Glover • Feb 2023

The whole experience was really enjoyable. Both of the teachers were very helpful especially to an older person who was getting over a broken arm/ shoulder and whose hand was still a bit shaky.

Christine Vickers • Feb 2023

The teacher was brilliant and helped us get the picture on to the canvas. The whole evening was so enjoyable and I will definitely go to another one in my area. The night was fun and also very therapeutic. It was real value for money. Thanks
Improvements - we could do with a better board to mix paint as the plates when wet with paint caused bits of wet paper to end up on the painting.

Amy Marsh • Feb 2023

Teacher was amazing clear instruction made it fun! Group was lively and friendly. Painting was easy and fun to do will definately do it again! Highly recommended

Penny Thompson • Feb 2023

Girls teaching the class were great, but too many people for the space and light was really poor. Maybe consider other places like the Chequers pub

Staff were brilliant and gave us time and good advise.
I do recommend and would do so again.

Our first painting class as a 'date night'. How fantastic! The teacher was so enthusiastic & approachable. The venue was great with table service for food & drink whilst painting. All materials provided with attention to detail when running low. Leaving with a canvas of a successful painting from this class is great value for money. We are not artists in the slightest, but working step by step with the teacher & class in unision, the results were great. You're not rushed & have flexibility with your preference. A great socialising event too. Will definitely be returning!

Sandra Meakins • Feb 2023

9 ClassBento workshops attended • 3 reviews

The class was great, the team were welcoming and friendly, they did everything they could to look after everything we could possibly need. The instructions were clear and we were given plenty of time to catch up if we needed to.
The venue was great for parking and accessibility but the space we were allocated to was far too small - we had nowhere near enough room to move and I ended up balancing my pallet or having to hold it while I was painting. I found it very difficult to paint in such a small space especially when we got to the most difficult part of the painting.
That said, we did enjoy the evening and will be booking our next class soon but just hope for room to move next time!

I was honestly so impressed with this class. My six-year-old daughter was booked in to attend, and I brought along my four-year-old son out of necessity - no childcare - so he participated too and they both loved it, coming out with paintings that are definitely monkeys with their own characters! I was amazed at how the teachers kept the kids' attention for so long, and really kept them on task. They did speed through a bit sometimes but as we parents were there to assist it wasn't a problem, and we could ask if we weren't sure of anything. Definitely recommend, and my daughter now wants a Brush Party birthday party!

Great fun as a beginner who hasn't painted properly before. Venue was great, our teacher(s) were great, lots of fun overall. This painting was particularly difficult (as agreed by the teacher) but that didn't take away from the experience. Would do it again.

Thoroughly recommend

Teresa Richards • Feb 2023

2 ClassBento workshops attended

I think this was probably the first time the teacher had taught this art piece. She had to refer to her instructions a lot and clarify or change what she was saying and what instruction she gave. This was very different to the last one I did where the instructor was very confident. However, she was still able to convey the steps and everyone will need to do a first one of each at some point!
I love your sessions. This was my 3rd one and I'm doing another next month.

Caroline Isaac • Feb 2023

Fantastic evening. Great venue and relaxed atmosphere. The teacher was clear and the class well paced. Really easy to follow the instructions given throughout. Lovely staff. Would recommend to everyone.

Rachel Clark • Feb 2023

Great night , I ended up with what looked like a hate , all the materials provided just turn up and paint - defo do it again

Laura Bartle • Feb 2023

Had a lovely eveningreally nice venue which was set out really well. The teachers were invitingly warm and friendly. I enjoyed the pace of the work, I think some people struggled with it being fast paced but that pace suitedme as I'm easily bored. I found it easy to follow but with the right amount of things to keep me questioning my painting. I think it was reasonable value for money and I'm very pleased with my finished mpaining and I will definitely be attending another.

Frances King • Feb 2023

We were seated very awkwardly. The stools were very high and crammed in (my mum is only diddy so she struggled to get up). It would have been nice to have a bit more breathing room. It was also difficult to see teacher past all the other heads in front of us.

Teacher spent a long time at the start taking us through everything and getting our backgrounds right but sped up towards the end when there was a lot more detail to concentrate on. It was hard to keep up and I'm sure I missed some instructions.

Otherwise it was very enjoyable.

Sally Manns • Feb 2023

Teacher very friendly.
Venue good, forgot I was even in a pub

The experience is brilliant and I will be back next month. Live my new hobby Angela

Had a great evening, I am not a painter but it did all come together at the end. I will definitely do another party as I know what to expect now. I did you a few pallets for my mixing but nothing was to much trouble to replace it. A very good experience a must for anyone to have a go.

Ryan Hurst • Feb 2023

We both enjoyed the class, the teacher was friendly & helpful.
The venue was warm & good size room and parking was easy. Would do another class

Cara Rothwell • Feb 2023

Great teacher. A fun way to spend a few hours doing something creative. We did the turtle painting (could be useful to mention before booking this is a more difficult one). Definitely recommend. I'd like to do more! :)

A most enjoyable evening. The teacher was clear on explaining the steps to take and was very encouraging. The venue was ideal as local to me. Something I will definitely be doing again.

Oh my word, if you are in any doubt about having a go, DO IT! Last time I painted was at school some 30 ahem years ago. I never thought I would be able to produce the level of art I did. Fantastic step by step teaching in a very relaxed, fun atmosphere at the, oh so welcoming, Woodpecker, Newbury whilst trying to sip wine. What's not to like? The entire classes paintings were amazing. Like a litter of puppies, the same painting but each gloriously different. Loved every second! Thank you! Michelle xx

Laura Wesson • Feb 2023

I took my mum and daughter along to do the ’Nightwatch’ painting. Teacher was brilliant, explained what to do so well that every one created a masterpiece! Venue was nice and friendly.
Tools and equipment were great. Atmosphere was so lovely. I only went last night and I’ve already been out and brought everything to join the brush club and I’m making hubby join me this evening for a valentines paint session online Absolutely love it!

Kathryn Mitchell • Feb 2023

A brilliant evening, hosted by Katie at The George pub. Lots of fun and really relaxing too.

Katy Spicer • Feb 2023

I did feel that the instructions were a little quick which made it feel less of a relaxing evening

Jayne Keeper • Feb 2023

Teacher was great, however the venue was very disappointing as it was freezing cold. I do believe this should have been told at the booking and I would of chosen another venue.

Juanita Hunt • Feb 2023

Really enjoyed the class. The teacher was great as were the materials.
The venue was nice and friendly. but it was a bit cold and it was only about 2 degrees outside so the marquis needed to be warmer. Everything else was excellent.

Becky was a great teacher - made everything look so simple! Even giving us the instructions, everyone interpreted the painting differently and made it their own.
A great sociable event and a wonderful evening

the class was good and we all enjoyed it but the person sitting on the end could not see the painting properly so may be change the sitting arrangement
Material was ok and teacher was very helpful

Tamzin Kearey • Feb 2023

Had a great time. It was a fun and novel way to make a painting and be creative. The teacher was really encouraging and created a stress free and laid back atmosphere. It's great for all abilities.

We had never been to a Paint & Sip class before, but we will definitely be returning! A brilliant evening, a friendly and fun teacher, talked us through the class step by step putting me and my partner at ease and feeling confident. Great evening all in all. Thank you.

Kiran Puri • Feb 2023

Teacher was attentive and clear and helpful. Was nice to be at a local venue with plenty of parking
The brushes were work out so it was difficult to to the more intricate brush strokes.
Yes I believe it was good value for money.
This was a very relaxed class and we both enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed the class. It was great learning lots of different drawing techniques to create clouds and waves both with the pencil and eraser. I was happy with what I made at the end. The zoom format is great as it is interactive both to ask questions and see everyone’s unique drawings at the end.

Sophie Andrews • Feb 2023

Absolutely loved this class! It was my first one and really enjoyed it. Great atmosphere, great teacher and great company! Went with 3 of my friends as a girls night out and we’re all excited to do another one. Would highly recommend :)

Tania Stanford • Feb 2023

Friendly and helpful leaders. Good venue. Good company and lots of fun! Would definitely do it again.

Fiona Fosu • Feb 2023

What was the teacher like? Absolutely Amazing, very engaging and interactive x
How was the venue (if applicable)? The Woburn was the perfect.
If materials were provided, did you like them? Yes
Was the experience good value for money? A very good value for money, however it was my expectation that there may have been 1 beverage with the package to go with the message “Paint and Sip” Not an issue as we were able to purchase drinks at the hotel. Overall had a great evening for my first time

I was not feeling well last night but managed to join the session and showed my work towards the end. As usual, Beck was a lovely Teacher and its a joy to learn from her. Take it from one who has never had a proper /Formal Drawing and/or Painting lesson until I joined the Brush Party during the 1st lockdown (March 2020). As a child, my Father showed me how to draw animals & houses while my Uncle (his youngest brother) taught me how to draw Facial profiles of girls & whole boy of Ladies in lovely clothes and gowns. Some classmates in elementary school used to swap my drawings with fresh fruits form their farms. Such happy memories!

Charlotte Green • Feb 2023

Attended a class at The Windsor Trooper and it was brilliant! The teacher was very helpful ant guiding you through and I’m pleased with the output (considering I’ve not painted since school)! The venue was also brilliant, our own space and enjoyed a glass of wine whilst painting. Would definitely recommend!

My 2nd time experience and once again an enjoyable evening.
Found the venue good but shame it was on a quiz night ,as it was quiet noisy
but didnt stop us from enjoing the evening.
The tutor waa great giving very helpful tips speacailly if your like me and abit heavy on
the paint .
she was also good at giving you encouragment and making you feel that your a good artist .
which really helped giving me confidence that I am now hooked . Good value for money.
Definitely want to book up each month . The skills that i have already learnt ,i took to NZ and it was the same thing but no tutorial you was just given the tools and said go out side and choose what scenery you want to Paint ,
I was very nervous but through learning the skills on my first time doing the sun flowers ,
I manged to come up with a painting that I would never thought i could do.
So thank you ,
If you get any on mountains please let me know lol

What a fantastic way to spend 3 hours. Big thank you to the Paint and Sip team for a great night. The venue was really nice and easy to get to. Hannah, our teacher was amazing, she was very patient and gave some great tips and encouragement. Everything is provided for you, so no need to prepare, other then get yourself a glass of something from the bar. We had such a great time we have booked in for next month!

The teacher, room etc was good as usual though the small brush I was given was a bit worn so swopped for another which also did not paint a smooth line. Perhaps need to invest in some new brushes.

Zoe Wiggins • Jan 2023

So much fun. Had a great night and came away with something I'm actually going to put on my wall which is amazing considering I literally don't remember ever having painted before in my life.

Rachel Parfitt • Jan 2023

Such an amazing night. With our limited painting skills (haven't picked up a brush since school) we were dubious. But wow! We are soo pleased with our paintings. All the materials were provided - paint, brushes, mixing trays etc. The teacher was so good. She took her time to slowly show us later by later how to build up our painting. Every single person in that room done themselves proud. Can't wait until our next session.

Alex Rolfe • Jan 2023

Teacher was very good.

All materials provided and spares if needed. Class was well paced and catered for all abilities.

Would definitely go again.

Gaye Lee • Jan 2023

Loved it! Something different, and a friendly class!
For me particularly, I liked the venue, The Shovel, Iver, as it has enough parking, and not too far from my home in Hayes, perfect all round
I think the other venue you offer, The Green Man in Denham, might prove difficult for parking, so hopefully The Shovel will carry on hosting.

Esther Faller • Jan 2023

I really enjoyed the class. It was a shame that the canvases we were given were different proportions to the one we were meant to replicate, which added an element of difficulty. I felt like the class needed a little more time to allow the paint to dry enough to stop the colours from merging. Considering this is only a 2 hour class the end result is really good and it was a fun process.

Tanya Scott • Jan 2023

Really enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely book in again but did not enjoy this particular painting quite as much as the others. Found the colourings a bit drab and the end result not as pleasing. This is no reflection on the experience or the instructor.

The overall experience was really good and I was pleased with my outcome.
The venue was good and it felt very relaxed and not too cramped in.
The hosts were lovely and helped where needed. Sometimes the 'mapping' of points seemed a little rushed and got left behind a bit or didn't see that part of the demonstration. However they did come round and help catch up where needed.
A good fun night with a nice painting out of it. What more do you need

As usual, I enjoyed learning from September. She's a superb Teacher and this Online Painting Class was fun although we were not sure which Bridge it was meant to be. Brooklyn Bridge in NY, maybe?.

Tracy Kent • Jan 2023

A bit disappointed with this my 2nd Brush Party, seating very cramped and uncomfortable and could not see what the instructor was doing. Music was being played a bit louder than necessary in such a small area and made it difficult to hear what instructor was saying. Could hear the pub piped music too. I found it distracting and hard to focus.

Georgina • Jan 2023

The class started late which was not great and then I found the teacher rushed a bit and yet still included two breaks and then finished early so want as relaxing as usual. It was a tough painting as well. Also found the space very crowded. I know it is really popular but maybe add another night with less people

Sue Stokes • Jan 2023

The most fun time, with my friend and daughter being taught how to paint such a great idea for an alternative night out and reasonably priced with your own artwork to take home.

Helen Goodinson • Jan 2023

Absolutely loved it! The venue was excellent, easy to park and hosted in a private room with its own bar . Atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming. The workshop was lead by a lovely artist, who built a great rapport with her guests. With clear direction, everyone achieved a work of art to be proud of. Thank you Brush party.

Amanda Trappitt • Jan 2023

Had a brilliant night , was running late and called up and so happy they were prepared to wait for me and Brian Jackson . Also teacher was very clear to hear above people talking and the music as Brian Jackson is a deaf person too . Venue in yateley is perfect as easy accessible. Looking forward to painting again with you . If anything can be improved I would like a finer brush for when detailing as not having a steady hand a finer brush may be easier for me . Thankyou for my 2nd great night at a brush party event .

The tutor was fantastic, friendly, patient and very helpful. I preferred being inside rather than the marquee. I didn’t like the cross wood rests for the canvas to sit in, as opposed to an easel, because it removed the paint from the canvas and also it was harder to paint to the bottom

The venue was fab for the amount of people we had. The pub lady was great and very accommodating. Food was lovely and drinks were well priced!
When I first saw the painting I thought there was no way I could paint it but with the great advice and teaching I actually did it! All the tools were provided just needed to bring myself which was a bonus! I throughly enjoyed myself and would definitely recommend! Can't wait to book the next one!

Veronica Curran • Jan 2023

I think as a team the option for ticket protection needs to addressed. I had to cancel my attendance at short notice as my grandad was dying. After a lot of procrastination and reluctance, they gave us the opportunity to move it, and due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances we couldn’t make the date given to us. All I would say is, don’t book with this company unless you absolutely have nothing going on in your life and no likelihood of any family emergencies or unavoidable circumstances, as they are not very forgiving or understanding. In future I will stick to local classes where the local artist is flexible and not difficult to deal with. This is all a money making scheme and such terrible service.

Julia Smith • Jan 2023

My first brush party. Good fun. Amazingly I turned out a respectable effort.
Teacher was helpful and a nice atmosphere with gentle background music.
Will definitely be back for another go to put in to practise some of the tips I learnt.

The class the teacher and the assistant were fantastic. Had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing time creating the painting and can’t believe I could actually paint something - never thought I could. Only criticism would be the venue was quite tight, no space to stand back and look at picture to get perspective, couldn’t see the picture in any detail as people sitting in front of one image and teachers painting was a bit far away. Disappointing that this wasn’t a pub that did much food, although there were pizzas available it didn’t seem like anyone had eaten these so not sure what that indicates. Would suggest that due to timing and needing to get into Oxford, a place that does a wider food range and has a foodie atmosphere may be better. Bar staff were incredibly grumpy, beers were nice. All in all, this was a great experience and I would recommend Brush Party.

Quite a long evening but good fun!

Fay Denwood • Jan 2023

What a wonderful evening. I was really nervous as I’m no artist. Our instructor guided us through the process beautifully and in the end, it felt like I’d created my own little master piece.

I loved Brush Party! Really well organised, the teacher was great, atmosphere was fun and we all walked away with a finished picture in 3 hours. It was lovely to spend some time being creative and learning / refreshing painting techniques.

Loved the class, it was g reat fun. The teachers were friendly helpful and patient.
Venue was good, maybe a little smaller but didn't matter too much.
I'm amazed they were able to get us tonpaint a picture that looks half decent when we have no skills whatsoever!

Melanie Burnside • Jan 2023

Great evening, we've done several brush parties. A different night out. Good PTA event too. ️

The teacher was great and the assistant was also very helpful and experienced. I was a bit apprehensive to be able to paint this picture but really enjoyed and learned that anything was possible. The venue was beautifulThe Ostrich Inn, Colnbrook. We had plenty of paint provided and got regular top ups of everything. The thing I enjoy the most is the company and comaraderie and actually producing somehting I could be proud of, having never painted before. Will definitely come back for more

Went into this expecting that I would be useless and not be able to produce a painting anywhere near like advertised, but the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Despite my limited artistic talent I was able to produce something I was happy with.

Great experience have done one of these before and they are so much fun the only thing I would say some parts a a bit fast when you have no idea but I definitely want too do more and would recommend for a great night out

Faye Bishop • Dec 2022

Teacher was lovely, with good pace and friendly connection to the class. Everyone produced something unique to them and the standard was high. Only minor flaws were a shortage of palettes, and it was pretty cold in the tent. We were warned on the day that we should wrap up though. Would definitely recommend this activity to others!

Mrs Knowles • Dec 2022

It was fun, but the instructions could have been better in places.
Clean water would also have been useful before applying white, as all white ended up a bit off white.

Becky is always a great teacher. It was a bit of a change, going back to acrylics so had to pause and dry my canvas a few times, which caused YouTube to crash but I managed to get back on.
I prefer zoom as it allows asking questions and showing progress a little better but YT is easier to pause.
Pleased with the result and very glad managed to paint this fox after being unable to make it to a venue!

Liz Horne • Dec 2022

A bit of an issue with the light shining through the canvas but once the lighting was sorted a great fun evening for everyone. I was very impressed by everyone’s results

Sadly, I had to leave part way through this tutorial, but up to that point, the instruction was good, lighting could have been a little clearer, and Becky must remember to spotlight her own feed. Lovely as it is to see the others joining in, it is disconcerting when that is what you see instead of the instruction.

I cannot draw and have no artistic ability but Katie was so amazing - i actually created a piece of art i was proud of! The George Pub was warm and inviting and the spot we were painting in was nice and quiet so we could concentrate. Brushes and paint was plentiful. The price for a fun evening, stepping away from life for a bit was very reasonable. Very happy with the final product and very proud of myself

Ann Mason • Dec 2022

What a lovely evening! Although it was cold the venue in Wokingham was great! The teacher was so good and helpful, we didn't feel rushed and loved doing this painting! Will definitely recommend to my friends no matter if you have never painted before, and will be going again soon
Happy Christmas everyone!

Anne Hoskin • Dec 2022

I have no confidence in my ability to paint, but the class was great fun, good instructions and came out with a picture that didn't look too awful.
I totally recommend Brush Party for an evening out and feel it represents good value for money.

Jo Harris • Dec 2022

Room was quite small. We were sat at the far end and couldn't see properly what the instructor was doing who should be in the middle so everyone can see how to apply the paint properly and how much paint etc.

Lauren Kernutt • Dec 2022

Teaching was good. Venue was freezing which did ruin it a bit. Also couldn’t sit with all of the others in my group which was a shame.

Catherine Churchill • Dec 2022

I really enjoy the evening but it was spoiled because the venue was so cold. Not really suitable to have it outside in December. My fingers were too cold to paint by the end of the evening.

Neither of us had touched a paint brush since school (which wasn’t recently). The ladies running the class, sorry I have forgotten your names, were very welcoming and made everything easy to follow. Thank you we had a wonderful time and are very pleased with our artistic efforts. We will return. Michelle.

Ruth Senior • Dec 2022

Had a fantastic evening once again. The venue was great (Beech House, Amersham) and the class was fab.
The only thing I would say was to maybe slow down a tiny bit before going on to the next section, a few of us got left behind a couple of times but not really a criticism as it was really enjoyable and we will be back.

Georgia Leighton • Dec 2022

Lovely ladies and great teaching. Enjoyed it and already on my wall! Thank you very much

Thoroughly Enjoyed the evening, our first brush party experience. the teacher was great & supplies were perfect & plenty of paint if we needed. A little disappointed that even though I confirmed via email on the day beforehand who I was coming with when we arrived (just 2 of us ) there were no seats. So the poor teacher & assistant had to find a table & even though they sorted it I couldn’t really see what the teacher was painting. If other smaller parties had sat together there would have been space.

I will.come again but Just hope there will be seats next time

Thank you

This is my 2nd class and it is fun to achieve a lovely painting at the end. This one was more challenging than the previous and I felt I could have used more time to properly enjoy the experience as much as the first one.

Claire Eley • Dec 2022

We had a really great evening and created a total masterpiece Perfect venue music, free bubbles, mince pieces, clean toilets, good music and centre to town. Relatively easy picture to replicate (with expert tuition from teacher!) and learnt about layering colours to create an image with more depth than the usual 1D xmas tree. Will definitely be back to try something new and different! Might even gift myself a class! Well done and keep up the great work we all need some fun, creative time with friends!

Natasha Venter • Dec 2022

6 ClassBento workshops attended • 3 reviews

The instuctor needs to slow down instructions and be clearer. She needs to talk people through what's she is doing, give enough detail on where to place things and explain to leave space for things, tell how big things should be I.e she mentioned make an arrow but it was a diamond shape or kite shape, she was not clear where the trees should start and that meant people where lost. She should also be mindful that when her back is turned and she's facing the canvas people cannot see what she's doing.

I also think she should pay attention to the room, alot of people were lost and kept asking her to re explain and asking for guidance which was lacking.

This is the 2nd time I have had this instructor and on both occasions I have left feeling frustrated with the session

Tarnya Rice • Dec 2022

Absolutely love Brush Party events. This one was hosted by a fabulous tutor, very friendly and helpful. The venue was bright but the hostess had fabulous spotlights which lit up the room. My only complaint was that the room was quite cold as the radiators didn't work.
All the material provided was perfect.
I absolutely love attending these parties. Thank you.

The lighting was a bit hit and miss, I was taking photos of my painting throughout the process but there were shadows everywhere, so it was difficult to get a good representation of what I was doing. The session was a bit late starting and as a result I think we were a bit pushed for time at the end, so we didn't get to do all the details that this painting deserved. Despite that I enjoyed the evening and love the image.

Viv McMillan • Dec 2022

Venue was very suitable. All materials very high standard and plenty of them.
Teacher (Katy) was excellent. New teacher took over after about 30 minutes (can't remember her name) and she was good but she seemed to go a bit too fast for most of us. However it was good having Katy there too as she came round and helped as I couldn't see the technique being used at the front of the class.
Friendly, fun, affordable and joyful.
Will definitely do it again.

An interesting event. The teacher was new to me and had a slightly different approach to September and Beckie. She took the class at quite a cracking pace which meant that the paint was not always dry enough for when another colour went on top.

Easels, canvas, brushes and paint colours on palette ready to start on arrival. A nice supply of top up colours throughout the session and wipes.

The use of brush, strokes, colour mixing and techniques very useful and with the bar you can take a drink and enjoy warm food whilst enjoying the session.

Good fun, good learning and recommended.

This was such a great class!
We had a lot of fun, the atmosphere and music was good. Our teacher was so calm and really helpful! Our group were really proud of what we painted and the teacher was integral in this.
Great evening! Thank you :)

Another very enjoyable evening painting with amazing people and great teachers. Venue is easy to reach and offer comfortable enviroment. Teacher was good following and advising the aspiring artistic painters.

Lucy Mansdorf • Nov 2022

Teacher was very knowledgeable. Lots of fun and easy to bond w friends. Great class.

Teaching was excellent - pace was good with time to implement instructions and advice given if required. The venue was a little tricky to find and the room allocated felt small for the number of people attending. The tables felt cramped with very little elbow room and the plate with the paint and water cup were tucked behind the easel so not easily accessible. The extra plate that was used for mixing colours had to be hand-held as there was no room to put it down and that hand also had to hold the canvas to stop it moving away when pressure was exerted on it to apply the paint.

I surprise my self that I was able to achieve the water fall, ut looked challenging, but the tutor made easy to follow the steps, there was lots of laughter, which allows me to feel totally relaxed.

Kerrie-Ann Law • Nov 2022

Absolutely brilliant, never painted since school, loved the subject we were painting, a charming winter scene with a Squirrel. Everything was set up ready, teacher was great, kept coming to check if we had enough paint, plates to mix, our colours and gave great feedback on how to improve certain areas or compliment. Overall it was actually relaxing, pleased with my result, had fun, would definitely recommend!

Nita Khanghura • Nov 2022

It’s was very cramp so could hardly move in our seat.
The atmosphere was very formal and felt like being at school in class rather than a party. Felt like the host was following a script rather than engaging with the room and both would help if asked but didn’t engage much or give guidance. Been twice before at different venues and found it fun so have recommend but don’t think I will go again.

Carol Wickes • Nov 2022

This was my first brush party and I was amazed at the result - a good fun way to spend an evening!
The only minor things for improvement were: venue was changed and we weren't told - and it was extremely difficult to find. Head mic was muffled so couldn't hear the teacher very well

Tracey Donnelly • Nov 2022

The tutors were good, I am guessing that the First Lady we had was new as she seemed a bit nervous but otherwise good. I ended up sat in a corner without any light behind me and it was very difficult to see because it was a dark painting but the team said they would take that learning away for next time.

We enjoyed our class although were a little disappointed that the size of the canvas was so much smaller than at previous classes, although this meant that it was easier to keep up with more experienced painters, which I have struggled with previously.
The host and her assistant were lovely, helpful and friendly and instructions were very clear - we were all given time to catch up if we needed it.
The venue was nice, with ample parking but the lighting was poor which made it difficult - not the fault of the host but worth noting. (this is the only reason for not giving 5 stars).
Overall, we had a great night in a very friendly relaxed atmosphere and came away with paintings we were proud of. We will definitely be doing another class in the future.

It was a pleasant evening. I found it a little less enjoyable than the first one I attended at The Royal Oak (now the Royal Windsor) a few years ago. I don't remember a mic being used then. There was a full class in I think and some great artists.

Florence Goodwin • Oct 2022

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

The teacher was very good and instructions easy to follow.
Only downside but not the teacher's fault nor the organisation, but the pub had also a music venue that night and it was difficult to hear and concentrate due to the volume of the music being played in the room which is open plan.
This was my second class and I am very satisfied with the painting I produced. One of the participant only used the landscape as foundation idea but did her own thing and a very different choice of colours and I loved the fact that the teacher was also being able to support her in her own creation during the session.

Sarah Skelly • Oct 2022

My two boys, aged 10 and 13, really enjoyed it, it gave a great sense of achievement. The painting was broken down into manageable stages and the teacher ensured she paced herself to suit everyone.

My daughter did a brilliant painting of a Halloween house and she’s picked up a few skills too. Materials were high quality and everything was fantastic! Highly recommended :)

Charlotte Smith • Oct 2022

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

An enjoyable evening but I found it less well set up than the last event I attended with the same group. The teacher was approachable and detailed in her guidance but it lacked having some true to size examples around the room. It was also too tightly packed to move around the room for water and materials. I didn’t notice this previously as the other support artist was more proactive and moved around the room checking in.

Jill Harmsworth • Oct 2022

So much fun again! Becky is an amazing teacher! With the layering of paint it takes a while for the blobs of colour on the paper to suddenly become poppies and she gives advice and encouragement along the way and I’m very happy with my end result, but also the techniques I’ve learned to use ‘in the wild’

Rachel Randle • Oct 2022

I went to the class with a small group of friends and we had a great time - although it felt a little daunting at first the instructors were really good and all our paintings turned out really well! One tiny bit of feedback is it would have been nice to have a very fine brush for the more detailed lines - but we thoroughly enjoyed the class and will book again for another.

A beautiful experience - just what needed to get me back into Painting after almost 2 months of "rest". As usual, Becky has been a great Teacher and I am very thankful to Brush Party for giving me a complimentary ticket even at very short notice.

Sarah Cook • Oct 2022

The teacher was running the class at a good pace, very clear and helpful. We loved the class being brave and having a go at something that I haven't done for years. I would most definitely like to do another class and recommend to anyone to just have a go. I wouldn't have minded paying extra to have brand new brushes that we could keep. The reason for this is that the finer brush was splaying out and I couldn't get a fine line. Otherwise I loved the class. Thank you for a great evening

Safari is extremely talented teacher and she taught us some good tips on blending, mixing colours etc. The painting came out so good and can't believe I made it. The venue was very nice and well lit, good space and nice music playing. Good enough material was provided to help us paint.

Julie Gray • Oct 2022

15 ClassBento workshops attended • 12 reviews

Unfortunately 1.5 hours was not long enough and it was extremely rushed and I struggled to keep up. I ended up finishing the painting by copying the picture on Facebook. Also, the finished painting the artist instructed me to paint did not look like the original - the head of the turtle was completely wrong and the tail was missing. No attention to detail at all because she obviously had limited time to fit it in.

What a fab evening! Safari was such a great teacher - friendly, competent and patient! The whole thing was really well set up - from the lighting in the venue and music, to the easels and equipment. Everything was explained clearly, step by step, and by the end of the evening, what had started as a blank canvas, came to life as a fairly reasonable Stag! There were four of us, of very differing abilities, but we all had great fun and produced good paintings - even though the concentration and stress levels were higher than expected and occasionally I forgot to breathe! Safari did really well to keep the whole group on track, time wise, which must be tricky! It was a brilliant way to spend an evening with friends. I’d definitely do another one in the future.

I went on my own and it was a great, fun experience. The teacher progresses at quite a pace which you need to complete the picture in 3 hours. But help was on hand to get you back on track and breaks to get glass refills! A friendly fun evening all round and pretty proud of my masterpiece!

Really enjoyable evening at a gorgeous venue in Waddesdon. Friendly atmosphere. Apron and materials supplied. A complete novice, I surprised myself with the finished painting indicating the skill of the teaching artist . Everyone seemed to have a good time and it was inspiring
to see everyone's different style of painting.

Gerri Roads • Oct 2022

Great, fun evening.
Very interactive, clear instructions. Help available if required.
Nice environment and atmosphere.
Will definitely do it again.

I enjoyed my painting experience at The Woburn. (Which has plenty of parking spaces.) Our artist was very helpful and I learnt some more technics. I find the whole experience very therapeutic and thoroughly enjoy my evening out.

Madeline Crowther-Shaw • Oct 2022

I haven't picked up a paint brush in 20 years and was a little apprehensive in doing so, but I'm so pleased that I joined this class. What a great experience the tutor was patient and knowledgeable. She spent time on explaining what we were doing and when. The end result is now hanging on a wall in my home. I will be back again

Kelly Chilton • Oct 2022

Claire was great as well as the other two helpful ladies.

It was great to finally do a class in venue again and this owl was so much fun! As always Kate explained the process step by step, reassuring, offering guidance, going over tricky bits again. Can’t wait for the next one!

Georgina Harris • Oct 2022

Myself and my boyfriend had a lovely time, very relaxing. I’m very proud/happy at what we’ve done. Thank you! The teacher was easy to follow. It was a warm room even with the door open. Lots of breaks in between. I enjoyed it and can’t wait for the next one!

Really enjoyed painting this parrot. The teacher was good but a little quick to move on to the next phase. Having carefully explained how to do a particular section, I think it would have been helpful to wait for us to have a chance to put into practise what she had just shown us.

THE TEACHER WAS GREAT AND GAVE REALLY CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS TO THE GROUP AND SPECIFIC GUIDANCE TO THOSE WHO WEREN'T QUITE PLEASED WITH WHAT THEY HAD DONE SO FAR. JUST A FEW SUGGESTIONS HELPED MY PAINTING TRANSFORM TO SOMETHING I AM REALLY PLEASED WITH.
lOTS OF FUN.
I LIKED HAVING THE FAN BRUSH TOO

This is the fifth time I have done a brush party and love it. Unfortunately I was a little disappointed this time. Hannah was lovely but the instructions weren’t as clear as previous ones. It felt very slow. Had this been my first brush party I don’t think I would do another. I want to give honest feedback. Brush party is great this experience wasn’t the best.

Lucy Stokes • Sep 2022

Really nice time. If going to the Angel in Bicester wrap up warm as the venue is cold at this time of the year.

Gale Law • Sep 2022

This is third brush party I’ve attended, this time was a turtle. Pretty chilly outside venue, no heaters. Young lady running the evening was very pleasant but the pace was way to slow and she lacked the descriptive abilities of previous party hosts. Consequently I, and several others, had a much less fun experience than on previous occasions and the finished product was not as pleasing as the others have been. I would take care to ensure that the next one I attend is run by someone different.

This was the first time we had been to this venue for a class and I have to say it was first rate.
The two ladies who were teaching us were patient and clear in their tuition.
We had plenty of room between tables and each other , plentiful art supplies.
I liked the fact that they discussed the next project which was happening at the venue and both of us shall be booking for that today.
Once again thank you for hosting and teaching us new skills.
We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks

Alana Mercer • Sep 2022

Was a bit apprehensive about the turtle and it being too complicated but it wasn’t too bad. I would of preferred a bigger canvas as doing it small was difficult for detail. Brushes were ok but did find my small brush was loosing some bristles but didn’t affect to much.

I got myself lost at some points and started to go rogue but was happy with my painting

This was the second Brush Party I have been to, at a different venue.
There were a lot (too many in my view) people crammed around the table elbow to elbow so not much room and narrow tables too.
It was still fun though.
More finished examples in view would have been useful, fortunately I had printed out and taken an example to have close by but no space on table to put it on!

Martina Darley • Sep 2022

Great fun, very enthusiastic teacher, lovely crowd, brilliant venue- just a really enjoyable evening with a work of art to take home

Lesley Pratap • Sep 2022

An enjoyable evening. Voucher was a Christmas gift, which I wasn't sure whether I was going to enjoy or be any good at. But I surprised myself with a very respectable Funky Moo! Venue was well set up with everything we needed, but a little more space would have been helpful. Becky and her assistants worked well as a team. Occasionally I missed a bit of the instructions but Becky would go over it again, so all was well. We were very pleased with our efforts at the end of an enjoyable evening.
The only downside was that the venue wasn't serving food that evening as we had planned to eat there before the session so had to make other arrangements.

Steve Wilson • Sep 2022

Joshua Carney • Sep 2022

It was all a really good experience!
The only downside was that when I got home I realised the turtle has no neck and its heae is coming out of the shell. At first I thought this was my mistake but from what i can see in the pictures online, everyone from our classes canvas has the same problem

Heather Cooke • Sep 2022

Emma Simmons • Sep 2022

Lovely teacher and assistant. Thoroughly enjoyed the class and loved the outcome of the picture. Good instructions, however, at times it was a little hard to see the demonstration from the back especially when painting dark on dark or light on light colours. Great equipment and lighting of the room. Overall, a great experience and am looking forward to the next one!

Disappointed as not as good as first class, instructor was way too fast not allowing any time to listen/mix paint before she moved on. Canvas was almost 1/2 size of previous class, area to work in cramped and music too loud. After second break it was very much a DIY class as instructor seemed to have lost interest in helping anyone and was racing against the clock.

Kate was amazing! So patient and gave us help with our paintings as she went around. Always giving positive feedback and with a beautiful smile.

She made the whole experience fun!

The venue was perfect and the concept of having a sip and painting was brilliant

But the star of the show was definitely the playlist on Spotify

A very well smooth run event and a great way to spend a Monday night by the canal!

Well done Kate and the whole team

Penny-Lynn Bater • Sep 2022

Awesome team! Great teacher that showed the group exactly what to do, giving ideas and suggestions along the way.
Venue was superb, nicely set up with needed items for each person. Excellent choose of music play list
I Lear Ed that my creative side can emerge….with the class being the gentle nudge I needed!
The communication prior to and after the session was superb. I’ve recommended Brush Party to a few friends today. I saved pictures of us in class last night to FB and for plenty of awesome comments.
Thank you!

Hazel Marsham-Cox • Sep 2022

It's such fun especially as my painting skills are far from good. You end up with a piece of work that's actually pretty good. This is the second time I've been and look forward to having another go. You have the opportunity to see what other people have done and they are all so different. Great fun.

The starting point was all wrong, the size of the canvas was too small. The venue was also too small, no wriggle room at all. Very disappointed with my painting. I went to another Brush Party a few weeks ago and it was excellent. I really wasn't a fan of this one which was a shame as I had such a great time at my first one. Sorry

Katie was an excellent teacher, she was full of encouragement giving me confidence to achieve my painting. I took my son, he was as nervous as myself, thinking we cant paint but Katie made everything easy. thank you.
We liked the venue & staff were very friendly.
It was great to have all the materials in front of us and everything was explained clearly.
except sometimes my brush would end up in my wine instead of my water! ha ha
It was well worth the money.
we have learnt to have faith in ones abilities that we now can paint and cant wait till the next brush party , what I liked most was Katie's attitude she made you succeed there was no bad paintings, she never judge and was always there to help you specially if I made a mistake she would help correct it and encourage me.

Ruth Bunker • Sep 2022

First time at one of these events and loved it. Teacher was great and very helpful and easy to follow. Venue was very well set out and comfortable.

Reminder of my suggestion for a topic - a baby orang utang.

Totally absorbing evening for a newbie to painting (well, since school, that is!), from learning how to mix the paints, which brush to use and how to create the different effects. Went home with a picture that turned out much better than I expected!
Can see how you can get hooked. I will be back!

We really enjoyed the Cameleopard brush party. Teacher was great and very clear. Materials good. And atmosphere nice. It was a difficult subject and I did struggle to keep up with the instructions and felt I rushed a bit more than I would have liked. I would love to try again in my own time and I wonder if you had some guidance notes you could send me, like step by step guide, as I don't think I will remember all the details? Thank you so much if you can do this. Michelle Costley

Pamela Hatcher • Sep 2022

Lovey thing to do, quite therapeutic. Teacher very good and gave us step by step instructions. Pub atmosphere made it relaxing. Anyone of any ability would come away with a result they could be proud of.

I was a bit nervous because I was going alone but everyone was so friendly and the atmosphere really positive and uplifting. All the material is supplied so you just need to turn up. The marquee is just the right size so you can see and hear even from the back. I would absolutely do this again and would recommend it for anyone.

Caroline Davies • Sep 2022

Materials were all provided, no judgement if you made a mess, advice on how to correct if you made a mistake. The tutor was really encouraging and explained each step clearly.

It was a lot of fun and for someone who isn't the least bit artistic, I ended up with a half decent painting!

Teacher and assistant both great, well organised and fun. Been to several events and this was my favourite. Only down side is the painting we did was smaller than usual, I understand this was a supply issue but was a bit disappointed - could maybe have notified us beforehand or offered a few £ off?

Thank you Brush Party

Event was very well organised with all the necessities. We just have to show up and enjoy the evening with some colours without any hassle. Instructor was very patient in explaining the approach of colour mixing and brush techniques which any one can easily follow. All together it was very good experience :-)

Was very welcoming as a solo attendee and the women who ran the class were so helpful and engaging.

Liked the venue as you are away from the rest of the bar area but you do have to contend with people outside being aghast at how good the work is :)

Willa Hallam • Aug 2022

Good teacher and environment although a bit noisy, microphone issues.

Maybe a spare plate to test out brush strokes before committing to main canvas?

I have previously done 2 classes which both my Mum and I thoroughly enjoyed. However, I was really disappointed that at this class (Piggy) the canvases were nearly half the size? I felt that this squashed the picture. It's put me off doing another class, I understand cut backs but this was a bit ridiculous.

The whole thing was well planned out and the teacher was really nice and encouraging, and her team were great too. The venue was local to me so this was ideal. I would highly recommend trying this type of event, it was good value for money also. I will definitely be attending another!

I struggled to make my Animal look like a WOLF when I joined the Online Event last August 15. I decided to watch the video again and try to improve my painting and I've finally felt I've done what I could and the painting has improved. I know I can't exactly copy Becky's painting but I am now pleased with the improvement that i've done including the dripping watery paint. Thank you Becky, Cliff & Brush Party.

I really enjoyed this class which was a lovely birthday present.
We received a warm welcome on arrival. Everyone was friendly and relaxed. We had everything we needed laid out for us.
The teaching was done in a relaxed way at a reasonable pace, with plenty of encouraging help on hand if we needed a bit of guidance.
It was a fun class which has given me confidence to paint again sometime, and was good value for money as it was three hours long.
A really great evening.
Thankyou.

Had a great time in Tring on Wednesday night. I came with my Mum, Dad and Uncle and we painted A Day at the Bay. The teacher was really good especially as it was her first time. Instructions were all really easy to follow. Love how different everyone's paintings come out! This is my 4th Brush Party and I really enjoy them. Teachers make it so easy to produce a really good painting! Venue was good too. All the materials are provided and always give you more paint and fresh water whenever needed. Nothing is too much trouble and all the Brush Party staff are so helpful too. A great night out. Thanks Brush Party

Nikki Warr • Aug 2022

Venue was Great, Tutor clear and patient as my little group of friends fell behind. Learnt about mixing the right colours and how to apply paint to canvas. But most of all we’re all unique as are our painting styles so don’t ever say you can’t paint!

Such a great evening! Very informative and engaging teaching Well done ladies both were brilliant. Top marks for equipment and venue. Such a lovely vibe everyone was so friendly met lots of new people that were also first timers, I took my sister as a treat and she was a little nervous and not sure she would enjoy it but we had such a great evening and surprised ourselves with our finished canvas!
It was the most expensive class I have attended (others were £25) but it was worth it! Will definitely return.

Thoroughly recommend to others and hope to attend again soon!

The venue was good although a little more space would have been beneficial. I haven’t painted for 40 years, but each step was explained well and I was quite chuffed with my painting.
I look forward to going to another event soon.
Many thanks to all involved.

I absolutely loved my session last night. I'm not an artist but love the idea of being able to paint, although I did get 'o' level art (if anyone remembers those). The teacher was bubbly and very friendly and her teaching style was patient, thorough and caring. I loved that all the materials you need are provided and you are shown step by step how to mix and apply the paint to build up a picture that actually resembles what the teacher is showing you. I went home with a pretty decent picture. Fabulous.
I absolutely can't wait for my next Brush Party.

A friendly well organised event. All equipment was provided and set up on our arrival.
The lady gave clear instructions throughout and helped individuals if needed.
Totally surprised how good the end painting was too!
A evening I would recommend with friends of family.

Marissa Smith • Aug 2022

Good teacher … very helpful techniques… good supply of materials…. An enjoyable evening … lovely pub but a bit of a squeeze although that doesn’t spoil the experience

Lesley Wellsman • Aug 2022

So impressed with myself, teacher went a bit quick at times but would also help in the breaks

Theresa Osullivan • Jul 2022

what a fabulous evening channelling the inner Van GoghI attended the Van Gogh interactive exhibition earlier this year so it made it even more perfect. managed to wobble home from the beautiful Crown pub in St Albans with my masterpiece intactfor my art critic pooch to sniff and agree it is worth millions (of snacks)
The Crown staff were fantastic and they served my favourite Moretti beerwhich helped immensely with my brushstrokes as the evening progressed.
The Brush party team were awesome. Our teacher was fab (sorry didnt catch your namelovely Italian lady I think) and the guys who helped topping up our paints and dealing with our artistic meltdowns (was a history/archeology student I believe)
What a brilliant conceptwill defo be back. please bring the highland cow painting to st albans/harpenden in the autumn ❤

This was my first experience of a Brush Party and I really enjoyed it, as did my friend. We had booked twice before but had to cancel due to Covid so extremely pleased to be able to finally attend. Really well organised, a friendly, helpful and easy to understand host. We will booking again, thoroughly enjoyed it and pleased with the end result.

The teacher was relaxed and fun. I enjoyed the music and singing along!
The painting was fun, I went with my friend and it was a lovely evening.
My final painting looks a little paint by numbers but I think that’s my ability as my friends was like an oil painting!
Regardless of this I have it on show at home and am proud of my painting and like the bright colours.

Good fun. I would recommend. I personally would have benefited from a bit more 1:1 assistance with some of the techniques that I wasn’t getting! Lots of laughs and impressed with the result.
Thank you for a fun evening

Great teacher and assistant. Clear instructions and guidance. I never thought I'd ever paint a picture on canvas! Great fun and wonderful experience!

Louise Leathers • Jul 2022

I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Painting isn’t something I usually do.

But I unexpectedly had a great evening. It was really good fun, and I was impressed with what I painted. Great teacher, explained everything really well and went step by step.

I would highly recommend this event. I will be booing again

Lovely class, the teacher gave really good advice and techniques and engaged with us all frequently. Plenty of materials offered regularly. Would Definitely do it again.

Pauline Lawless • Jul 2022

3 ClassBento workshops attended

There was little teaching happening, a previous class I took I learnt what different brush strokes looked like and did.
It was incredibly fast paced and was left behind many times. Often still trying to understand what colour was expected next and mixing it and the teacher was on the next step.
I understand that there are varying levels of skill in a class, but I wanted to learn something I didn't know how to do and I didn't feel that I achieved that.

The only saving factor was the other people on the table. I came alone but their confusion at her speed made it enjoyable to paint.

Garnet Dack • Jul 2022

A great evening, teacher was very friendly and encouraging and explained each step thoroughly, her assistant was lovely ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Very nice venue, we were in a private room, just one minor comment, slightly more room between each painter would have been nice but that didn’t spoil the experience. Great music played!
Thank you we will be back.

Venue was easy to access, in the centre of the town, food drink available if needed. Tutor was fab as usual, very helpful and very patient. The steps and instructions where easy to follow. Would recommend this to any one to try. Very relaxing from a hectic day.

Evelyn Mills • Jul 2022

"Flower" is one of my fave subjects for painting and this Painting class with BECKY gave me extra skills and confidence. After the session last Monday, I recreated another Waterlily in Watercolour in A3 paper, then I did it in Acrylic in A3 paper for acrylic. I painted until the early hours yesterday but I was not entirely satisfied as I "cheated" a little by using a tracing paper to get the position of the flowers right.
This afternoon, between 17:06-18:56 ours, I watched the recording of the session and did Waterlily (again) in Watercolour, on A3 paper and because I was feeling more relaxed and focused, I was pleased with the final result. The photo shown here is the one I did during the Zoom class last Monday. It's okay but my last painting looks better.

On contacting the venue beforehand we were informed there would be air conditioning in the room we were using but there wasn't. Fortunately we were able to take breaks to freshen up.

The class itself was very well run, instructions were clear and concise and everyone was very helpful.

It would have been nice to have clean water to rinse the brushes in and perhaps more paper towels/damp cloths for hands.

I would definitely go to another class and would happily recommend to others. For a virtual non-painter to come home happy with a painting of an elephant was very satisfying.

The other ladies (sorry I forget their names) were always on hand for extra paint, tissue or fresh water and were so lovely.

It's the second one I've done so now need to book the next one!

Mine ended up too dark, but otherwise OK. Good instruction.

Grace Ward • Jul 2022

Absolutely brilliant Everything was provided for - canvas, paints, brushes. Despite being a difficult picture to paint the teacher made the whole process really easy and straightforward. I'm really proud of my picture! Help was always at hand, but the step by step instructions meant not much help was needed! Highly recommend! The whole season was absolutely lovely, friendly and therapeutic Perfect evening after a busy week if you need a drink, laugh and feeling of satisfaction.

Great class although as a complete newbie it was quite fast and basic instructions on how to hold a paintbrush would have been useful at the start.
Teacher was fantastic and very knowledgeable and helpful.
Pleased with end result will definitely book again and have recommended to friends.
Thank you

Sharon Astle • Jul 2022

Had a great evening, all very organised and ran like clockwork. Very pleased with my painting and quality of equipment etc for the price paid.
My only criticism would be that I didn’t have any room to move as we were very tightly packed in, couldn’t get up to stand back and look at image as advised by instructor.

Heather Payne • Jul 2022

Venue too small or too many people. Last time we went to Chinnor Rugby Club to do funky Moo and the demonstrator and team could move easily between and it felt more spacious and personal as easy access. Great picture but we could not see the demonstrator and I just copied a picture example by the side of me. My friend nearly gave up and said if she was by herself she would have left as got very frustrated.

The teacher was fun, engaging and entertaining. The play list was awesome. Great night.

Gemma Guest • Jul 2022

The session was fun, it overran by about an hour - and in parts I didnt feel some buts were detailed enough, Katie kept walking around without offering much help and Amanda seemed a little rushed. Both were very friendly throughout, kept telling us to drink (which we wasnt there for, but others were) the venue was absolutley stunning. Drinks were good - and definitely get the onions rings! Overall enjoyed myself, and hope to come back at some point

Clare Shephard • Jul 2022

Loved it all
Great teacher, happy & helpful
One little thing that I’d say, is that I’d have preferred to have completely finished the hill before moving onto the flowers, adding darker green was hard with the flowers as the blending didn’t work as well for me
But that’s all :-)

I was out but managed to catch the last 15 (or so) minutes of the class so I watched the video and did the Painting last night. It was relaxing and I liked the purple background. September, the Tutor, was a friendly as ever and made me feel very welcome despite my late "appearance."
Here, attached below, is my Painting but looking at it now, I may have to add later, a few bigger "Fireflies" inside the jar. Overall, I am pleased with the event. Thank you Brush party.

Parking £12 which makes it a more expensive evening.
But the amount of weed being smoked by someone downstairs in the venue was off-putting and nauseating. Will be going to another venue.

Lovely lady but unfortunately her cow didn’t look like the one on display. We all struggled with the nose and wanted to do the one on display but not advised how to do the shading. Still enjoyed it but none of my group was happy with the final painting, needed more help/advice.

What a fabulous evening! We hosted a networking 'Paint and Sip' and the feedback has been excellent - some even saying its the best networking event that they have ever been to. The teacher was incredibly skilled, engaging and funny which added to the experience as a whole. All materials were provided which was excellent as no one had to bring a thing other than themselves. Will definitely be doing this again - couldnt recommend more!

The evening was fun and I’d definitely go again.

Amanda Ziajka • Jun 2022

The teacher was so good explaining how to achieve colours and correct those that didn't quiet work. She encouraged you to personalise your work. We just had a thoroughly enjoyable and fun evening

Caroline Scraggs • Jun 2022

A great evening, my friend and I really enjoyed it. The teacher was excellent. I really thought I would come away with a painting that looked nothing like the one we were doing as I’m not a great artist. I was pleasantly surprised with my creation.
Venue was excellent. Would definitely recommend to others who like to be creative and would enjoy an evening where you can switch off and just enjoy painting.

Rebecca Norman • Jun 2022

Great evening, really patient teacher who explained things brilliantly. Thoroughly enjoyed it and got to take home a pretty picture at the end. Winning!

I was keen to learn how to draw a hand so I really tried to get back home in time but missed about 10 minutes at the start. I am hoping to do the drawing again using the link (as soon as I can) and hope to do a better drawing next time.
Thank you Cliff, Becky and Brush Party Club.

Eileen Folan • Jun 2022

A very enjoyable evening. Really great to do something different with friends. Sadly, despite my restrained wine drinking, i don't seem to be able to paint straight lines. May have to try again - not a hardship.

Pamela Hayton • Jun 2022

Lovely to be back doing 'Brush Party'! The area for painting is a little cramped at this venue, which made things a little difficult with regards to moving around/standing up to review work. The assistant was great, however the tutor, although friendly and personable, went a little quick at times and some of her instructions ware a little confusing! All in all a good evening, but maybe next time I will try a different venue. Thank you to all concerned.

Fiona Scott • Jun 2022

I found the tutor went too fast and when asked to slow down was sarcastic and quite rude to some people. It was mine and my daughters first time and my daughter said she wouldn’t go again. Shame as we were looking forward to it.

Linda Wyatt • Jun 2022

Rebecca Crosfill • Jun 2022

My mum and I wanted to try this as we both paint from time to time, but have never taken instruction in a class like this. It was great! Nice to be able to go to the bar and get a drink, and there was also music which made a nice atmosphere. The teacher was good at explaining and everything needed was provided, and although everyone's painting turned out different they all looked great - Would recommend this as a fuin night with friends or even as a first date.

A really enjoyable evening creating the Wild Flowers at The Russell Arms. The teacher was fab, full of energy and great at explaining. The only thing we would say is that some instructions were a bit quick and some points we struggled to keep up with. However there was plenty of time to complete the painting.
The venue was great but a bit tight! Struggled to get comfortable while painting as didn’t have enough space on the table. Could do with being a bit more spaced out.
It was a great experience and something different to do for my birthday! Really enjoyed it and amazed that we all created beautiful canvases!
Defo want to do it again! Thank you!

I found the course really good.
It was interesting how we were guided to put the dits on the canvas and the create the picture slowly from that.
I was surprised that there was no drink included as the course is paint & sip and I wasn’t told when I arrived to get my drink. The only thing I was disappointed with was that it wasn’t more social. People were in their groups & although you could go & look at other paintings, you really wanted to get on with your own.
The course did overrun but we weren’t rushed at all, which was nice.
The tutor was friendly & gave us the opportunity to have regular breaks.
The canvas & paints were good quality.

Catherine Saunders • May 2022

Wasn’t for me I’m afraid. I attended alone and felt very awkward sat at the end of a bench with no one to talk to as the groups kept to themselves. I left after 15 minutes and didn’t do the painting. I’m sure it’s great if you go with others but it felt uncomfortable for me.

Teresa Saunders • May 2022

Teacher was good, at times went a little fast, but was happy to back track when asked.
Venue was lovely.
The break for food was a little short, as there's not enough space to have your food where your painting area is.
It was a good experience and lovely evening.

Our teacher was very sweet. I have previously attended one of her classes at The Akeman in Kingswood. Some people attending were drinking too much, talking too much and one in particular seemed very intimidated and negative. She had a big mouth and quite honestly she seemed to shit on proceedings. She made the teacher flustered. Some present didn’t seem to understand artistic licence and lacked any imagination to interpret the teachers as they wished. I honestly think the drunk big mouth wanted her picture painted for her. Her friend did paint some of it while she was in the bar complaining.
The teacher coped very well in awful circumstances. The cows nose didn’t go well for anyone but I was able to look at examples around the room and did pretty good job. My friend and I were really pleased with ours. We could have benefited from more changes of water seeing as we were using such a varied pallet.

Sheena Bonner • May 2022

The class had more people in than I anticipated but this didn't lesson the experience. Rather it added to it. Everyone had their own vision and or interpretation and it was a lovely venue.
The paints were good and instructions easy to follow. I had a very enjoyable evening with great food too.

Amanda Rowe • May 2022

We had a fabulous night loved it all but just at the last stage with the white you speeded up so much we got lost We had a great time and will definitely be back for another one.

Many thanks

Linda Clement • May 2022

I felt the instructor was going a bit too fast, I was behind for a lot of the session.

Alison Kennedy • May 2022

Great evening. Very professional but we had real fun and a giggle too. Instructor was brilliant.
Could have bern faster noticing when people needed clean water or paints topping up but were very quick to help once we asked. So proud of what i produced. Will definitely attend again.

Felt it was a little bit rushed and got left a bit left behind. Teacher very friendly but could be a bit slower and talk the whole class through as a pose to carrying on via instructions as a few of us were left behind.

I enjoyed painting the Koi Carp in Watercolour. It's my favourite watercolour painting so far. I've never thought I'll be painting a Koi Carp (we have so many in our pond just outside the room/by the window where I was painting) and I was not very enthusiastic when the event was first announced. I am glad I attended it and learned how to paint a koi carp.
Thank you Brush Party.

Another lovely class with tutor, Becky. Really enjoyed painting the koi. Becky is very good at explaining everything.

Helen Sherwood • May 2022

It was a great evening and Rachael is very knowledgable and a good teacher. Nick was a very valuable asset - great teamwork between them.

Sheena Thakrar • May 2022

Session moved quite fast, not many breaks or opportunities to catch up if you were still mixing colours etc.

Also would have been good to know beforehand that you can't get acrylic out of your clothes. If that is communicated then it probably needs to be highlighted a bit more.

Hashini Herath • May 2022

The place they held it was good but that pub didn’t have it’s own parking, which was very inconvenient. The space between people was quite limited so I kept knocking into other ladies. The easel was wobbly and I had to hold the canvass to paint on it many times. I would have been able to complete the painting if I had more time. For me it went fast and I was sometimes behind in terms of mixing colours to achieve the correct paint colour and grasping certain techniques . I feel for a beginner it may not exactly be suitable and 4 hrs would suffice. I couldn’t complete the painting as I wanted to go over a few things to correct it. The instructor was good but didn’t come around to check much unless requested. The music felt loud and was not needed for me as I wanted it to be a more relaxing experience. It was more of a social atmosphere. All in all I enjoyed painting but it could’ve been a better experience with a few improvements.

Natalie Harris • May 2022

2 ClassBento workshops attended

We loved the paint party! The instructor was really clear and helpful. I don't have an artistic bone in my body, but was able to produce something that looked great. The atmosphere was lovely. Would definitely go again and I'm already thinking about other paintings I'd like to try.

I would definitely attend again.

Our teacher (sorry I did not hear her name) was very good and patient, allowing a couple of breaks. The venue is brilliant too and local for me. It was a little cramped though as I had to keep getting up to let people in and out of the space we were in, which is why I only rated this as good, otherwise it would be great.

I didn’t found the teacher as good as the last times. And also we didn’t have the proper easels which made it difficult to paint. The pub had no food. And even thought we were told at the beginning of the lesson, it was somehow late as I had to go with out dinner until I got home.

Laura Wheeler • May 2022

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

I'm definitely no Artist but the class was good fun and something positive to do with my time that isn't stressful.
The Teacher was lovely and very encouraging and kept us topped up with Art supplies during the lesson.
The venue had good parking which is a must.
The only thing I'd say needs improving is the quality of the brushes, although I'd just take my own next time so not really a big deal.
Although I was embarrassed at my attempt of being an Artist for 3 hours and left my painting behind, I will definitely be booking another class. Good fun.

Tracey Browning • May 2022

It was such an excellent evening. Great teacher and helpful hints, wine and bonding with friends. What more can you wish for?

Paula Jones • May 2022

Teacher was fantastic. She made it fun and gave really clear guidance on what to do as well as coming round and giving encouragement individually. Everyone made sure we had what we needed throughout.
The care I received from the GP couldn't have been better despite not being able to provide the service that I'd requested on booking. Communication on arrival

Eileen Payne • Apr 2022

I really enjoyed this class the teacher was very good, but it was a little hard to see everything she was doing. I would have preferred a bit more room between students. The venue was okay and the heaters soon warmed us up, as we were in a marquee. It was good value considering what we were given to create our painting. I look forward to doing another one soon.

Wasn't keen on the venue - but this was a relocation after the The George & Dragon closed down, so grateful to Brushparty for being able to find somewhere else.
Second party we have attended and enjoyed it as much as the first one. We will be back again.

Angela Rawlings • Apr 2022

Very enjoyable, clear instruction. Could have done with more time. Venue was good. Brushes supplied were not very good and made it hard to achieve straight edges and thin lines, definitely need to provide better ones. Would book another one.

Petrina Allport • Apr 2022

What a fab introduction into painting for yourself and to share with friends or on your own. Loved every minute of it.

I invited a group of friends to a local brush party for my low key hen night. The differences in all the paintings, even with the same tutorial was amazing and we all loved it. I had always put off doing this due to cost and anxiety about being rubbish but will definitely do it again and recommend it highly!

Started well, but timing was an issue. The tutor initially had time to talk to everyone, but once she realised time was becoming an issue, she just carried on with her sample and it became completely rushed.

Sunil Kandola • Apr 2022

Incredible experience! I hadn’t painted since I was in school and never felt very confident in being able to paint anything. This class was perfect in guiding me through the process of creating a complete painting start to finish.

The teacher was very patient and supportive. The class was taken at a nice pace with occasional short breaks to catch up if needed. It was kept very fun and light-hearted throughout. The class size was perfect (about 20 people) to be able to call for help whenever needed.

The materials provided were of good quality and were always able to ask for more paint if needed.

Would 100% recommend and I will for sure be looking to do another class in future!

Jennie Cartwright • Apr 2022

What a great night out! Such fun and you come away with a great painting that actually looks like it should!

Bella Blackburne • Apr 2022

Went for a date night with my husband and we both had a lot of fun. Tudor Arms is a nice venue, the teacher was great, everyone in the class was friendly. It was a really calming way to spend a few hours and absorb yourself in the task at hand, it wasn't stressful but there was a pace to it and it did take concentration! There was music and the teachers walked around often offering bits of personal advice. We were really happy with our paintings at the end of it which surprised us both as we haven't painted or drawn anything in a long time. Everyone's in the class was beautiful and unique. We will definitely do one again if we can, I wish they did more classes in Watford, that is my only criticism.

Great night painting Evening Sonata. Expert tuition and guidance helped us all to create a vivid scene reminiscent of the image we were aiming for. Pub setting was ok but it was a little noisy due to a football match and it was quite cramped around the benches. Having said that, we were give lots of paint to use which was great and we had birthday cake from another attendee which was an unexpected bonus! Would highly recommend this a fun and creative night out. Thank you ClassBento!

A good session with an enthusiastic teacher and good quality materials. I would take part in another one.

Clare Andrews • Apr 2022

Instructions from the group leader were very good & clear and the whole group produced paintings that resembled the original but were all slightly different. It was a fun evening & the playlist was excellent. There was plenty of materials if extra paint or pallets were needed. We were given a couple of breaks to stretch & get drinks.
My only issue was that this was held in an outdoor space, a tented deck area which was fine and roomy enough but had I known I would have worn more layers. Bar staff were friendly & the venue was a good one for me.

Venue was very comfortable, had a meal first, then started my painting. Instructor is excellent at making it easy to follow. It's a fantastic experience, have a drink, chill with your friends and have fun and at the end you get to take home a beautiful painting.

Was a nice different sort of night out with friends, but the instructor was not as good as previous brush party I’ve been to. Lots of us ended up just trying to copy an example that was nearby because there was very little instructions and she went very quick!

This was my third class and very enjoyable but much more complex than the other classes and was a bit rushed at the end to get it finished. The sound system used meant it was not always easy to follow what the tutor was saying but overall another lovely evening

Patricia Jones • Apr 2022

Great class, plenty of detail from the teacher about technique and colouring. Great evening, will come again.

This was not the best class I have attended.
The acoustics in the hall mixed with the volume of music made it very difficult to follow the instructions of the teacher. The speed of the instructions were given very quickly and many people were having problems keeping up.

First time at a brush party . My son booked it for Mother’s Day . I had a really fun night and learnt a lot as well . Equipment was spot on and venue was brilliant . The instructor was very good and we could all hear and see what she was doing. Will definitely be going to another one . Thank you

Really lovely venue at The Spotted Horse and felt like a real artist with my easel and canvas . Teachers were fantastic and gave helpful tips . Was really pleased with my painting of Bluebell and even my partner loved it and said ‘ I really wasn’t expecting it to be so good ‘ lol . Thank you ladies .

My first one in February was fantastic, this time I was put on a small table which really wasn’t big enough for 2 people and I was sitting next to a family who kept standing up in front of me, though I did tell her. Oh and I wasn’t given an apron till the very end when I asked for one for the photos. Next time I will get there early

Emma Lenander • Mar 2022

What a fabulous evening. Our teacher and her assistant were great, supportive, encouraging, clear instructions and fun. The steps are easy to follow, with plenty of room to make it your own unique piece. Great value for money and lovely venue too.

Sarah McKie • Mar 2022

This was a bad design, difficult to copy for beginners, too strange to want to hang at home. No opportunity to learn techniques or improve painting skills. The teacher did her best. I don’t think I’ll do it again for a third time. Too expensive if I’m not learning anything

Veronica Shannon • Mar 2022

Good teacher
Was great fun
It was a bit cold in marquee bb

Can't wait to look at booking a private event for parents or the kids of Bicester Autism

Charlotte Langley • Mar 2022

This was a really nice way to treat our mum to an early Mothers Day gift, as we are all scattered around the country. The pace of the class was good, the materials supplied did the job, and our instructor was a really good sport and put up with our shenanigans in the live chat. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

To be back in Windsor at The Trooper Pub which is a great venue is great. The picture is lively amd my family have approved of it! It is good to have samples of the painting out so although you have instructions by the teacher you can go and add your own personal touch.
Cannot wait to come back soon
Thank you for being back in Windsor and such a good venue

Carol A • Mar 2022

Vanessa Ridge • Mar 2022

Good experience. Felt a little rushed, but there was a lot to do, Would have been good to have been able to stopstep back and review before moving on. Had to use the breaks to paint as was falling behind!

Joanne Cowlin • Mar 2022

Very enjoyable and well run evening. Clear instructions that gave us a step by step guide to creating our very own masterpiece!

The party host was very encouraging and enthusiastic

Highly recommend

Tracey Glynn • Mar 2022

A great evening, stressful, but in a fun sort of way! Could have done with a bit more space, but our teacher was great at keeping us going, encouraging us and giving helpful hints of how to make our works of art into master pieces! All materials included. Would recommend.

Debra Coles • Mar 2022

A fun evening. All paints and resources provided. Step by step instruction by the tutor. Lots of laughter. Talent not required which was a blessing,

Kate Jefferyes • Mar 2022

A great night out having fun and learning new things and painting tips! Thank you!

Claire Lambert • Mar 2022

As someone who has not really done much painting I was a bit apprehensive before but I should not have been! The teacher led us thru each stage slowly and with clear instructions. She was v happy to repeat anything and supported where needed. The set up was perfect- able to chat easily with 3 other friends. Music was perfect and all the resources provided were good quality. I thought the joy would come from just the journey- but loved the destination too- as my painting of an owl is now hanging in my kitchen!

Mary Hilder • Mar 2022

On my own was quite a daunting prospect after having only been to one other brush party three years ago but so glad yet again to experience. The atmosphere was great and the people were the usual amazing mix from all walks of life who came together to make an evening like no other. The hosts were engaging and did their best for us at all times along with the actual teaching of the technique in order to produce a painting to be proud of when we took it home.
Would do it all again

The Akeman Inn is a lovely venue, peaceful and own section to paint in away from restaurant and guests.
Laura the instructor was nice, only 8 of us painting so she didn't have an assistant. I think her having an assistant would be nice as teaching and sorting all the paint,water,odd jobs means less time for her to focus on the art.

Claire Fox • Mar 2022

The evening was good overall, the artist was very friendly and the landlord of the pub was welcoming. However the area we were in was quite small and some of the people in my party could not see the demonstration / modelling at all.

Jackie Pile • Mar 2022

Pub grub not so good - not your fault, room was a bit tightly packed but on the whole a really fun evening with an excellent instructor and my friend and I managed to make a passable giraffe!

Tracy Stalker • Mar 2022

Great teachers, so patient and very encouraging. The venue was super. The equipment was all set up and ready to go on our arrival. I love my Highland cow painting i feel it was value for money, spending time with friends and my daughters doing something different is priceless. Thank you

Amanda and Tony are really lovely people, the atmosphere was great! Lots of laughs and a few hours to take you mind of off things. Always enjoy painting and always pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Great to achieve something different and take home to show the family.

Susan Beard • Mar 2022

I didn’t think anybody would be able to help me paint something actually recognisable, but here I am now with an actual decent painting of a cow! My husband actually refused to believe I had done it.
It was such a great experience, the team were helpful and friendly with every step slowly laid out to the group easy to follow and not rushed.
I’ve already started recommending it to friends and family.

Taissa Silva • Mar 2022

Great night out in which I could voice my inner Picasso!
The instructors were super friendly, all the materials were provided and the step by step instructions were clear and easy to follow.
Lovely venue with an amazing selection of gins, friendly stuff and yummy food.
One thing that could improve though is the playlist!

Katie Chester • Mar 2022

Great teacher, easy to follow instructions and so pleased with my finished painting. Definitely want to attend again

Brilliant evening at Andwell Brewery! Fantastic and very enthusiastic teacher, she was great - really made the evening. Amazing what you can be taught to paint in a few hours. Its for all abilities which is nice and I will definitely do another evening and would highly recommend.

Emma Stacey • Mar 2022

Such friendly, supportive and encourage teachers. As someone who does not identify as ‘artistic’, I achieved a painting I would never have though possible! Even my teenage son gave me positive feedback

Justine King • Mar 2022

It was a brilliant experience.
I turned up thinking I would be painting a colour by numbers canvas but was faced with a completely blank canvas, I was terrified
But with the guidance & reassurance from the teachers I came home with something I didn’t think possible, I am so pleased.
Lovely touch with the wine and nibbles and location was perfect.
Thank you, totally recommend this.

Elaine was a great host but unfortunately her timings let her down. We had 2 15 mins break. The last 30 minutes of our session was very rushed, like speed painting! Also her assistant looked very bored!

It was a lovely evening despite this.

Lesley Young • Mar 2022

I really enjoyed my first Brush Party! The venue was well set up and everything ready to go from arrival. Most people were there in a small group of friends or couples. I was by myself and felt equally at ease as the instructors take their time to talk to everyone attending with any help or advice they need on their painting.

It was great that everyone’s painting was different but something they could be proud to take home. The best thing is you don’t have to clean up at the end of the evening!

I can highly recommend the class and definitely plan to return. Since seeing my painting on Facebook other friends have asked to come too!

Lesley

Felicity Shankar • Mar 2022

I loved doing the painting. It was great to do, although it’s quite a fast pace. I must admit I wouldn’t go to that venue again. The tables were high with high stools. They did offer to get me a low table and a chair but I felt I would be too low and might not be able to see easily. I also felt the lighting wasn’t great there. Everyone was very friendly and the paintings looked great.

Great Evening- the elephant was fun to do and with the step by step process was easier than I thought it would be

Rob Robinson • Mar 2022

Good fun. I had zero expectations but managed to turn out a reasonable effort. The materials and teaching were very good as was the venue. Car parking was a bit difficult in Tring. The value seems reasonable and I would be happy to have another go sometime.

What an incredible evening. After not having painted in nearly 20 years, my creativity came flooding back and just loved it. The teachers were friendly and helpful and went at the perfect pace for all of us to keep up. A wonderful night out and I'll definitely be back.

Debbie Hawkes • Mar 2022

What a wonderful Brush Party with Amanda. With everything you need to produce your own painting all laid out for you from canvas to brushes and paint and under Amanda’s excellent tutorial I had so much fun producing my work of art! I would recommend to anyone and I look forward to attending another Brush Party.

Thanks Becky and Brush Parry for a superb class online learning how to draw an eye. It was nice to try something in pencil and I was very pleased with my finished drawing.

I did an in-person class before the pandemic which was very lively and so much fun. Zoom classes have been very relaxing and It’s been great to learn new techniques from the comfort of home.

I’d definitely recommend these classes to anyone starting out like me who might be a bit hesitant about what to expect, as the tutor explains things clearly and is very supportive and professional.

Many thanks again,

Janet

We have never done anything like this before so we’re a little apprehensive. We had a great time. The painting was quite detailed so we had to work fast to keep up but we were all thrilled with our masterpieces. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as well and an evening creating something I feel has been so good for my well-being.

I was in a group of 4 and this was our second BP.
The teacher was very good checking that we all knew what we were doing and stopping to help when requested. The assistant was also on hand to provide equipment when requested. The venue was easy to find and parking was readily available.
I had a lovely time and will do again.

Linda Wyatt • Mar 2022

She was so informative
Good teacher it was my first time painting.
I felt really confident at end of session.
I learnt new skills
Will do another session soon x

Jane Barclay • Mar 2022

I am very pleased with this Watercolour Class. The 1st hour didn't seem promising at first but as soon as I started the 2nd hour, everything "fell into place" and I was surprised at how lovely my work seemed to appear. I am beginning to love Watercolour because of this.
Thank you, Brush Party Club.

Lisa Hawkins • Mar 2022

Speaker to my right playing music left me unable to keep up or concentrate. I am an adult with ADHD and so this was a nightmare for me. Not something I would be wanting to do again which is a shame as the first one I ever did had no music and was amazing.

Colleen Perry • Feb 2022

Fantastic, lovely teacher. Great techniques learned. Really happy with my painting will go back again

Julia Proud • Feb 2022

Superb lovely teachers. However there were too many painters for the space, ie we were elbow to elbow. Two painters moved to a back table in the pub which made our row more manageable. My recommendation is to allow space between painters for paint brushes and drinks from the bar and nit to squash people in. Having said that - I’ll defo be joining another class soon.

Jacqui Salt • Feb 2022

Very easy to follow
My first time using Wayer Colours, won’t be my last

It was great fun. It was great to use and learn to paint with acrylics for the first time. The tutor was clear and her instructions were easy to follow.

Soula Joiner • Feb 2022

We really enjoyed the morning.
Guidance on the brush technique would be useful. Thank you.

Jacqueline Andrews • Feb 2022

The painting kit arrived in plenty of time and on the day Becky was a friendly and helpful teacher, thank you. As I hadn't picked up a paintbrush for 50 years I did start the whole session well outside my comfort zone, but this was exacerbated by the problem I had joining the meeting - I hadn't appreciated I needed to click on 'panellist'. Perhaps this could be made clearer in the introduction/link email? On the whole however, an interesting two hours.

Catherine Collier • Feb 2022

Fiona Reese • Feb 2022

It was difficult to hear all the instructions, and felt as there were so many stages with this one, it was more rushed. You were focusing on getting the last instruction right, and then missing the next one. Also late starting, which probably didn't help! Happy with end result.

Hi
Thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
Teacher, staff and fellow students were all friendly and helpful.
Being a total beginner the pace was sometimes a bit quick but I have ended up with a painting far above what I thought I was capable of.

Diana Scott • Feb 2022

Just had an amazing evening at a Brush Party (paint & sip) King William Pub Kempston. Teacher was Amanda who was amazing and so patient with us non artistic first timers. Fun evening, all the equipment is supplied, easy to follow techniques, take away the results, £32 bargain for this must try evening with mates. Thank you - would recommend and will be returning.

Helen L • Feb 2022

Class felt rushed, and they ran out of the included art supplies towards the end, which made it difficult to finish the painting. Some instructions were very abstract (measuring for floating lines etc.) which actually made things much more difficult than 'painting what you see'.

Jackie Green • Feb 2022

Great teacher ., great venue and a lot of fun. Really good value for money. Thanks

Fiona Fellows • Feb 2022

Great session! The teachers were very friendly and helpful with pointers when I wasn’t sure about what I’d done.

Alison Austin • Feb 2022

Such a fun night! Amanda and Tony quickly put everyone at ease and were so encouraging. The venue was fab. We got there early and had something to eat before the session began. Totally amazed by our results. Who knew we could paint like they. Would thoroughly recommend.

Paula Jones • Feb 2022

The teacher was great and reallyhelped when needed, there was enough supplies provided.

What a great "paint & sip" class at the White Hart in Beaconsfield. Venue ideal, with parking on site. The 2 Laura's were an absolute delight. Not having painted since college, 30+ years ago and being very rusty I wondered how the night would go. With lots of encouragement & tips I had a ball. Canvas & all paints/brushes & equipment was provided. The evening went so quickly, it was really relaxed & fun. I thoroughly enjoyed myself & hope to return for another class at some point. Huge thank you.

Everything was good. Only negative was that the tables were very close together so I had no room to manoeuvre. I ended up moving my easel at an angle. Having paper towels, water etc easily accessible is important too

Stephie Redenat-Strange • Feb 2022

Venue was good. Teacher was lovely but had booked taxi for end at 10pm but picture was not finished so was disappointing.

Victoria Fry • Feb 2022

Great, fun evening.
Becky was such a lovely teacher, helpful and kind. Even my painting turned out pretty well! The venue, The Barley Mow in Winchfield, was perfect. We were able to get drinks and snacks and then retreat to an adjoining room to paint.
Can’t wait to do another evening.
Thank you.

Michele Rowe • Feb 2022

We all had a brilliant evening, the teacher and helper were both so lovely, helpful and informative. None of us have a creative bone in our body but we all managed to produce (even though I say so myself!) damn good paintings of A Secret Garden which are already hanging on our walls! Everything was provided and topped up when needed and the pub area where it was held was ideal. We will certainly be going again, thank you for the experience it was something new we have never done and thoroughly enjoyed

It was a fun session and overall things were fine. But because of the venue, it was a bit cramped, and very dark, though the lighting situation was resolved.

Sarah Stevens • Feb 2022

This is the 2nd Brush Party I have been too and it was just as great as the first time I went. The teacher explained/demonstrated what we had to do very clearly and if more materials were needed, these were provided. The venue was good, no need to worry about parking. Can't wait for the next event.

I have been to the in person classes and really enjoy them. I am not sure if it was the picture but I found it a lot more challenging to online and keep up. I know you can pause the video but it still felt difficult online.
But I am taking time to make improvements to the picture that I am not happy with and will attempt this again.
It would also be good if the link was live for longer as it is difficult to find time the go back and finish where it took me a while to complete the picture.

Pat Welsh • Feb 2022

I am a complete beginner when it comes to mixing paints, so had a problem getting the shades right.Class was ok, very well presented by the artist. I tried again within the 24 hours and I thought it was worse thatn my first effort. Might have been useful if we were told to prepare the colours required bfore we started.

Karen Baker • Feb 2022

Amazing! It was a very easy to follow class with really simple steps. When I first saw the image, I thought it looked near impossible to recreate something that looked so complicated but with the clear instructions from the instructor, I was really impressed with my final piece. With it being online it was also simple enough to pause and rewind if I missed anything. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves to paint

Everything was great but the instructions were not quite so simple compared to previous events. It was ok for me as I have done it before and I am used to the style of instructions but some people needed help. It was also a bit rushed because some people were late. But very enjoyable and I will do more.
Can I suggest a baby orangutan as a topic.

Enjoyed it. Lovely lady. Would have liked explanation about thickness of paint and water use as lots of “bleeding” when I started and didn't understand why until mentioned half way through. Minor but helpful to know. I used more paint than I thought I would so do have plenty. Great can rewind if it’s going to fast. Thanks.

Lovely atmosphere with a good group of participants.
Shame the venue doesn’t offer food as if your working late and rushing to get to venue - it’s a late night without food!
Great for drinks as the rugby club has a bar.
Look forward to the next evening
See you soon Monika

Thank you to Brush Party

Phil Blunden • Feb 2022

This was our first Brush Party, but it's easy to see how this could turn into a hobby for some people. Our two hosts were attentive and supportive, giving us plenty of time to produce our 'work of art' (their words, not mine). We had a lot of fun and the time flew past. Things didn't always go to plan. Someone once said that there are no mistakes, just happy accidents. There was lots of accidental happiness on my canvas, and my wife and I had a very happy evening overall. Would certainly recommend this to anyone who's not tried it before.

Lorraine Green • Feb 2022

Venue was good-had a nice meal before the class. The organisers were very friendly and helpful, they took time to help the slower painters which is why the class probably over ran -they could have easily rushed us to finish by 10 but they didn’t which was definitely appreciated by myself. I liked the step by step instructions which enabled me to take home a ‘half decent’ representation of the picture.

Absolutely love these classes and the owl one was my fave so far!
Fantastic tutor and assistant great location too, my only small comment would be that the location of the speaker wasn’t ideal, it would be better if it was at the back of the room with the tutor at the front, being at the front with the tutor made it incredibly loud at certain points and oddly hard to listen to because of that.
Small thing that’s hopefully easily fixed :)

Second time at Brush Party - wasn't sure about the design but it was harder than it seemed! It was much quieter than the first one - I think having pairs face each other meant people didn't interact as much as when they can see each other's progress and comment or encourage. Love the venue though, and proud of what we did. Will keep coming!

This was great fun, the venue was relaxed and pleasant. The teacher was lovely and made it really easy to paint along without worrying about it. She showed us how to lay out the sketch and build up colour. Everything was provided and there were a couple of breaks built in which was great and we came home with a painting! Would definitely recommend.

Michelle Freeman • Feb 2022

A brilliant idea for a fun evening, something a bit different. Will definitely do another one.
Thank you so much.

Jeanette Banks • Feb 2022

Really kind and sensitive teacher, answering all questions and giving expert tips. My painting is so much better after a live class instead of remote. And lots of lovely new friends made

Jade Trower • Feb 2022

I was really excited in attending but left a bit disappointed. The setting unfortunately wasn't good at all and made it very difficult to see what was happening. With it being my first time using acrylics, it really set me back which meant I fell behind further and further and led me to feel stressed rather than relaxed. Add to that we couldn't get a change of water (which meant we couldn't water down the paints from about half way through), it was too quick and rarely a top up of paints or mixer trays. It's a shame as the activity itself was good, I just couldn't find myself enjoying it feeling rushed through

Enjoyable and relaxed. Tutor was clearly a good artist helping all with colours and brushstrokes in a more complicated painting than I have done before at Brush Party.

Excellent, loved it! So nice to have some time with nothing to think about except the moment. My owl looked great - truly impressive for a complete novice. Got a bit lost at the end but was a great experience and will defo do it again. Thank you!

Diane Nickken • Feb 2022

The evening was fun. I learnt a lot. My only criticism is of the brushes. I might bring my own next time. You get used to your own brushes and know what you can and can't do with them.

Hilary Copeland • Feb 2022

We had a brilliant time - such a great 3 hours of escapism. The results were amazing we were all so thrilled. So therapeutic and uplifting.

I haven’t touched a paint brush in over 15 years but that didn’t matter. The teacher talks you through every step and guides you. I had more fun than I expected, I will definitely go back for other sessions. Thank you for a memorable evening!

The teacher was very polite and approachable. However, I felt the she was moving onto to each stage too fast. Several people were falling behind as they hadn't finished mixing their colours.
I would have also preferred her to show the correct ratio of each colour in order that we could achieve a better colour match. ⁶

Debbie Lee • Feb 2022

It was my first time to paint since I left school 40 years ago. The teacher was very helpful but she moved a bit to fast onto the next colour and technique. So while I was still concentrating on one thing I was missing the next but she did go back to repeat. It was good fun though.

Sarah Croutear • Feb 2022

Really enjoyable but I've been concentrating for about three hours on it so pretty shattered now! The presenter was great and I learned a lot particularly in blocking colour and skin tones.

Helen Watson • Feb 2022

Kim Tyler • Feb 2022

We found we were very squashed into the room. So Amanda or Tony could not view our work or give us assistance.
As beginners we found it was going too fast towards the end.
It was fun and some of us, five went , would do another one but would want on going help and feedback .
Thanks

Cathy Burke • Feb 2022

Excellent teacher! Nice subject to paint. Great brushes!

Definitely want to do another.

Everyone produced an amazing owl!

I haven’t been to a paint class at the George before but it was really good, smaller numbers than Wokingham which I found a lot better. Teacher was very good, and also the other person who gave us paints was really helpful. It was a detailed painting to do in 3 hours so was quite hard in the time frame. I much prefer these paintings though, I didn’t rebook Wokingham when I saw the next painting of what looked like a drab Stonehenge Glad I booked the early venue, would definitely recommend this. Class was also out of the way of others so it was lovely as people weren’t walking past staring at our progress either!

Ali Leibowitz • Feb 2022

The painting aspect was excellent. The venue was fine including easy parking, but it was a little too cramped between tables with too low lighting. It was a very fun evening to do and I would wholly recommend it.

Claudette Arx • Feb 2022

I have loved doing Brush Party events.
I did however this time, find the instructor went a bit too quickly for our table.
Venue was good, layout a bit squashed. Some of the smaller brushes bristles were well used and perhaps we needed some newer ones. But a lovely evening

Fabulous evening painting a Funky Moo! Venue was perfect. Amanda was a great teacher, easy to understand, very patient and good fun. Tony was a great help, topping up paints & supplying me with paper towels as I have to say I’m a bit of a mucky pup! Totally impressed with the finished product. Would totally recommend attending, a great, different evening out.

Such a fun evening and something to take home.

Jenna • Jan 2022

A lovely evening in a nice setting (a pub). Easy to get to and to park. Set up was great, everything was ready prior to arrival, and we had everything we needed - canvas on easel, paint, various paint brushes and our pain was topped up as and when we needed.

The teacher was clear in her instruction and painted along with us which was good to follow, we also had visual examples showing the final piece were were painting which was really helpful.

The negatives I have are; the break was too long, this made the evening late for a week day, but more so, cut into a creative flow. This lengthy break was also frustrating as no drinks were provided by the host - it is advertised as a 'PAINT & SIP' class, it was held in a pub but no drinks (alcoholic or soft) were offered to us at any point during the 3 hour session. My Sister and I were quite disappointed by that false advertising as this was my Christmas gift from her. If drinks were not involved it should be listed as just a painting class.

That aside, we had a lovely evening together doing something different.

It was all set up for us and felt really easy to get into. I managed to follow the instructions and ended up pretty pleased with my Funky Moo. Can’t wait to go again! Thank you to Monica and Cliff for a great evening

Judy Allen • Jan 2022

The teachers were friendly and approachable. Venue was fine - warm enough despite being a permanent marquee. Could have done with a bit more space on the table - I almost upturned my paint tray a number of times. Materials good. Enjoyed the class - it was good fun and run at an appropriate pace. Had a good laugh at my effort which wasn't as impressive as I had hoped! Will come back and try another one.

Really enjoyed the evening. Few initial teething problems with lighting but I understand it was the first time in the venue. The teaching was good. Only thing I would say is towards the end it felt a bit rushed and I got a bit lost. Overall brush party was a very enjoyable way to have a creative evening with company.

This was the first Classbento painting class I have attended, and am totally hooked. I have never considered doing any sort of painting as at school I was always told I would never be any good at it.
Through the very skilled instruction of our tutor I managed to produce something that my nephew wants to hang on his wall - never in a million years did I think that would happen!

Truly excellent evening. Amanda is such a good teacher, engages all the class and creates a wonderful ambiance. Although a photographer, I haven't picked up a paintbrush since primary school. I have absolutely no talent at all but came away with a painting (which didn't look anything like it should have done) that am right chuffed with. So much so am going to get a starter kit to play around with at home. Brilliant time. Will go again.

Great class! The teachers were lovely ladies! Great atmosphere! Everyone in the class produced beautiful paintings under the instruction of the teacher. The only thing I would recommend as an improvement is a larger plate for paint mixing and a few more different sizes and shaped brushes.

Louise Burns • Jan 2022

This was a fun evening. The teacher was really helpful, friendly & jolly. The size of the class was perfect.
I thought the class was a bit pricey, but all materials were provided Abd both my partner and I love our paintings of the Northern lights. Neither of us had ever done anything like this before so it was something different to do. Personally I’d have preferred a Friday night class purely because we’re working very early and I have a very intense/stressful job. But a great evening

Rebecca Isaacs • Jan 2022

The class was good but could have been improved by going slower. I know I could pause but that means you miss out on the live chat. The in house parties are 2 hours but online is only 1.5 hours.

Again enjoyed the experience and will retry the painting.

Maggie Bush • Jan 2022

I LOVED THIS The teacher was really sweet and helpful and there was a helper who would give us clean palates and more paint. Really easy to follow and such fun.

So enjoyed my evening at the Bakehouse! Have been wanting to do this for years after a girlfriend did it in the USA. I cant draw to save my life so kind of assumes it was a paint by numbers but arrived to a completely blank canvas. With the guidance and support of the teachers I was delighted with my finished artwork. Step by step we layered up the painting to a fabulous end result. All of them turned out slightly different but equally beautiful and I will be proud to hang it on my wall. My husband couldnt believe I had done it or we had started with a blank canvas! Will definitely return and recommend to everyone! Thank you.

Although l paint using acrylic, l have never painted a scenery before, so l am very pleased with my 1st attempt. I I'm looking forward to the next party.

Jenna Aarons • Jan 2022

Had fun, really nice experience. My only suggestion for improvement would be that it was very hard to hear and see from the back of the class, and having only 1 teacher for around 15 people meant that she could only spend her time helping some people and mainly those ar the front of the class, so a smaller class would have been better. Otherwise the teacher was lovely and it was an enjoyable experience

Nesheta Patel • Jan 2022

This was our 2nd time to Paint and Sip and it was just as good as the first if not better!
I love that we have a different teacher and Kate was brilliant. She was so good with her explanations and guidance all the way through and very patient as this was quite a challenging pictures m to paint! Both Clare and Kate were super encouraging and very complimentary. We are definitely going to keep going back as we love these evenings!

I am surprised at how good my painting looks.
Thank you ladies for a lovely evening!

Ellie McCarey • Jan 2022

We absolutely loved this remote class! It’s my mum’s birthday today so I got it for her and we both really enjoyed it! Great teacher! We found it very therapeutic and would highly recommend :)

Overall really good. It took a little longer than one that I attended previously and towards the end I was keen to finish.

The pub quiz was on at the same time as this and I found that really distracting and at points really difficult to listen to the teacher and try to focus. It would be much better if these weren't on the same day. Apart from this the venue is really convenient.

Tom McGregor • Jan 2022

Would have been better on a friday night with more space between people, should include a drink in the price

Sam Willicombe • Jan 2022

Fantastic class! I haven't picked up a paint brush since school and was expecting my painting to be an absolute disaster. Dee was a great teacher and I actually managed to produce something not too dissimilar to the original.
Really nice relaxed environment I highly recommend to anyone looking for something a little bit different to do.

Louise Christian-Barrett • Jan 2022

What a revelation! I absolutely loved every second. Dee and Laura we’re great - super helpful. I thought I didn’t have an arty bone in my body, but I love love loved every second and have to say, I’m really proud and pleased with my painting. We are already looking to book the next session! Thank you soooo much

Avril Hayter • Jan 2022

Amanda, great, loud, clear and patient. Venue was brilliant although a little noisy as the evening went on. Loved all the products and Tony kept us well stocked up! Excellent value. I learnt that for my first time ever painting I produced something to be proud of. Thank you, see you again soon.

Everything great except the noise from other people in the pub! We could not hear the instructions clearly but had fun and learnt a lot!

Rheya Brigden • Jan 2022

Becky was a great teacher and made the evening really enjoyable. It was relaxed, fun and we even managed to do a half decent job of the painting! Becky offered loads of helpful tips about how to hold the brush, what strokes to use and how to make mistakes look part of the picture! There were plenty of breaks for grading a drink and chatting to the other painters too. I would definitely recommend!

Leslie Miller • Jan 2022

Becky was a great instructor and everyone had a great time! Everyone was a but nervous to see how their painting would turn out since they didn't think they were artistic but everyone was pleasantly surprised with how their artwork turned out!

Good way to spend a grey winter’s evening. Tutor was fabulous- encouraging, clear and fun. Equipment excellent and a great sense of achievement at the end of the evening

Trish Neczaj • Jan 2022

I can’t paint to save my life but Dee the coach took us through step by step so I actually produced something recognisable. Totally loved being able to take my mind off the stresses of the day.

Rebecca Porter • Jan 2022

Excellent instruction. A fun evening with all the required materials provided. I was amazed with the finished product. Would thoroughly recommend. This was my 4th Brush party event and I intend to attend more! Informal and friendly atmosphere makes you relaxed and able to paint your creation with confidence!

Jo Heath • Jan 2022

Had a really good night.
Well organised and great venue. My Mother in Law was a complete beginner at the age of 85 and ended up producing an amazing painting. This is due to the fabulous teacher taking the session.

The class was really good fun. I went with two friends; given that I hadn't held a paintbrush since leaving school nearly 40 years ago I was pleasantly surprised at what I produced! The venue (Brouge) was good, the only niggle being a very slight wobble on the table which resulted in a couple of unintended brush strokes on my masterpiece! In terms of feedback for Brush Party, maybe they could have used slightly bigger pallettes, as many of us quickly ran out of space to mix the colours - otherwise the materials were great. The tuition was very good and for the end result I thought it good value for money.

Julie Excell • Jan 2022

Fun evening, teachers very good with step by step tuition ,
Will definitely go again,

Sarah Wilson • Jan 2022

My first time at a painting class, it certainly won’t be my last!
I had a fab time. The teacher was very easy to follow & was also very encouraging.
The materials we used were good although I could have done with a smaller brush for detail on the picture.
What a great way to spend a Wednesday evening, I now have to find a place to hang my painting!

Christine Bailey • Jan 2022

Brilliant teachers and venue, all materials provided, great value for money, found out that I can actually paint Will definitely book for another time .

Gemma Roberts • Jan 2022

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 3 reviews

I felt like the teacher went a bit too quickly - the painting was mostly done in 2 hours whereas the two past events I have done have taken nearly 3 and therefore not felt rushed. I also felt like the picture we painted differed quite a lot from the one shown on the website - the trees in particular were done very differently and didn’t look anywhere near as effective or atmospheric. I still had an enjoyable evening but wasn’t anywhere near as happy with my finished painting as at the last two events I have done.

I took my mum with me who had never painted before. We loved the venue, the ease of the class and amazed by just how little material you need, its all in the mixing. I feel as though i could book it and go on my own next time, the group had such friendly vibes. Im already looking to see what i can book next! Thank you Brush Party!

Had an absolutely wonderful time at Brush Party. I've been wanting to go for a while and when it came up no one would come with me, so I asked my husband and was surprised when he said yes. Well, he LOVED it. And despite not being creative, or having any art ability, he managed to pull off a convincing painting, whilst providing entertainment to the rest of the class with his nonsense. He said afterwards he would be more than happy to make it a regular thing, and I think he surprised himself with what he could achieve with the right ingredients - great teacher, easy explanation, great venue and a bar. Combining drinks, fun, learning and a sense of achievement is a great idea. We can't wait for the next one!

Sue McGlynn • Dec 2021

Brilliant evening with excellent tuition. With the step by step friendly tuition on how to mix the paints to using different brush strokes even a novice like myself can produce a painting.
Looking forward to the next one.

Nuria Hernando • Dec 2021

Teacher was helpful, I like the avenue and the music. The materials were great.
Perhaps, it would be possible to provide an extra tissue or more fresh water to clean the brush better. I am beginner and I have the feeling that I need to clean the brush properly before using a different colour.
Overall, the experience was amazing and I would love to do it again.

Sharon Gibson • Dec 2021

Enjoyed my evening of painting which has spread into Day 2. Like the fact that I can pause, rewind and rewatch.

Sally Riva • Dec 2021

Totally loved tonight.
What a great night out with friends.
Teacher was amazing- I have no idea how she got me to produce the picture I created but I love it.
Thank you and see you again very soon.

A great arty party - a really enjoyable opportunity to bring our team of 12 together for a Christmas function (and first group outing in 'years'). For those of us who had never painted before - to those of the team that happened to let slip that they had completed art courses, it was enjoyed by all. We all went home with smiles, and paintings :) Many thanks

We had a brilliant evening and were very proud of our paintings. The teacher was really helpful and encouraging and gave us lots of tips and explained various techniques to help us improve our picture. The venue was a private room in a pub and we could get drinks/food as we needed. All the materials were included and it was good value for money. There was a very friendly, welcoming atmosphere and I would highly recommend it for a fun night out with friends.

Louise Robertson • Dec 2021

What a fantastic class, Laura was beyond helpful. I haven’t painted since I was in school the step by step approach gave me the confidence to swoosh,dab and sweep with the paint. Surprised myself and a great group of people in a lovely venue

Great Brush Party - I went alone this time but had such fun chatting to others. Tutor was superb (Monica) and the venue was much better for space than the usual venue used. Enjoyable as always, and my painting is already hung on the hall wall! Bonus is - I filled my loyalty card, so next class is free!

Francesca Smythe • Dec 2021

Thank you, it was a fabulous session, I’ll be signing up for more classes.

Katie Sumner • Dec 2021

My girls and I weren’t really sure what to expect as this was something out of our comfort zone but WOW we were blown away! Our teacher was just lovely, she was easy to follow, encouraging and approachable. The actual painting was broken down to steps easy enough for me and my vino to still follow and by Jove, the results are epic! I’ve renamed myself Picasso! Such a fun, well put together evening shared with dear friends. Couldn’t recommend more.

Alexandra Wells • Dec 2021

Had a wonderful evening! Monica was very helpful and cleaŕwith her instructions. I created a lovely canvas and learnt more about using acrylics whilst sipping pressecco, and chilling out with the other ladies. Had a group photo taken and chatted to each other about our new creations. The venue club will be having a get together and will be booking their Brush Party they tell me. My canvas is now on my living room wall. My daughter is blown away by it! Will definitely be doing this again soon.

Being able to pause, go back and listen and watch again during the session is fab and makes it so much easier, even if it takes you longer to finish.
You get to break and pause when you want to. Have done several now and I'll be doing more.

I like the bluish purple mix of the evening sky and enjoyed painting the tree, the silhouettes of the buildings and the bench. My lamp-post was not the best but I know that it can be improved if I want to. The reflection of the lamp can also be improved next time. Overall, I am very pleased with this painting class with September.
Thank you Brush Party.

Only complaint is that the pub wasn’t serving food and perhaps we could have been warned.

The teacher was great and explained easily what we were supposed to be doing and showing us how. The venue was good but we were a little squashed into the area set aside for this. so much so, that you couldn’t walk easily behind people without nudging into their chair which was off putting when you’re trying to use a steady hand to put paint to the canvas and paint a certain defined shape like an eyebrow which had to be delicately done. The only other issue was the teacher having to compete with music coming through the speaker’s dotted around the pub. Those two niggles aside the learning and showing how was fantastic. The end results for all of us attending was great. We all went home with a painting that was obviously a giraffe.

Evelyn Kaluza • Nov 2021

This was my first brush party and I it exceeded my expectations. Everything was well organised and the teachers were great at explaining every step along the way to give you confidence in putting paint to the canvas.
It was an experience I want to repeat so I will booking in for another one in the new year.

Colin Lavis • Nov 2021

Excellent class, the pace was very quick at the beginning but eventually slowed down - it would be good to share the process or plan for the painting ahead. I did think a drink was included - Pub lovely but £14 for a beer and large glass of wine very expensive additional cost! Teaching was good, really helpful to walk around and check colour mix etc, music great and good evening out.

Beverley Nicholson • Nov 2021

Stacie was a great teacher, it was really enjoyable. We had all the equipment we needed, and it was great fun. I still can't believe that I managed to produce something that I am really happy with. So many different approaches but they all looked fabulous. Thank you Stavie and team for a wonderful eveningwe will most definitely be back

Enjoyable evening with friends as always, but just wasn’t sure on the teacher, just felt wasn’t as professional as previous, forgot to do things then went back by which time we had lost the colours and what not. Felt a little rushed and not as relaxing.

Lara Kog • Nov 2021

Shame it wasn’t on teams and we cud then share our painting on a camera as we went along and talk back to the person . Other wise its like you are not feeling you are part of a class…. Just watching youtube which i could do anytime

I do enjoy this type of painting class but last night felt the venue was very tight for space and 1 of my party said she could not see the teacher or the painting- so bigger space would help

Great class. My first time so didn't know what to expect but venue was great, teacher easy to follow, good guidance and great end result! Would highly recommend.

It was so much fun and everyone is so encouraging and helpful. We really enjoyed it!

Donna Holden • Nov 2021

Joni had a wonderful evening.The location was perfect. All equipment was set up and easy to use. The tutor was fun and took us through the painting step by step. Couldn’t fault any of it. I was nervous but soon felt part of the group and really enjoyed the social aspect with learning a new skill. I am now hooked and will be booking some more. Thoroughly recommend!

Venue was easy to get to but a little loud at times and had ask for things to be repeated.

The teacher at the Pitcher and Piano on 18th November was not that experienced and rushed through the teaching element without making it clear as to how to paint particular elements of the painting.
The experience of being with lots of budding artists was still amazing.

We had the best time tonight! The teacher was so friendly and helpful which helped as we knew nothing about painting
The group was also friendly and fun to be around. The pub was also a great place to do it, we had people coming over and admiring our works of art (which is always a great boost for your confidence)
Thank you so much for a fun and tipsy evening

Delightful evening. Two teaching Ladies, were patient, helpful and friendly.
Pleasant and amicable atmosphere.
Definitely recommended and I’ll do it again.

That’s my paining :)

Also I had some problems with parking and the Lady from the Head Office, Sam, was exceptionally lovely, patient and reassuring.

We all enjoyed the class but felt too much time was spent on the background at the beginning and felt rushed at the end with the finer details.
The lady taking the class, Amanda I think her name was was a lovely friendy lady.
The venue was good, nice and local for us.
Will definitely be booking again for another painting.

I've been 5 times now and this one (funky cow at Harpenden Arms) was my favourite. Quite often I find the tutor goes very slow at the beginning, and too fast at the end to fit everything in and I always fall behind and miss bits, but this one was perfect all the way through

Heather Walton • Nov 2021

Great fun great teacher and can’t believe I could create a painting from scratch
Highly recommended

An online Painting Class with Becky is always fun and enjoyable and I look upon each class as another step towards the "learning ladder". She did her best and encouraged us to either copy her work (with same colours) or do something different (with different colours). I decided to copy her as much as I can (I could always do another painting with different colours another time, if I want to)I did not measure my window pane properly and found that my right side was about half an inch higher than the left side so I tried my best to correct it. I managed to alter the height and I am now happy with the final changes (though a tiny bit of correction can still be seen).

The tutor was fantastic, really knowledgeable and made the class really fun!
My only complaint - which I would not give lower stars for as I’d hate it to affect the tutor - was the assistant, the assistant in th previous class was super helpful getting more paints, giving advice and generally being involved / making the class run smoothly, the assistant in this class may as well have not been there, he ordered and ate his dinner then did some what looked like uni/school work, perhaps they’re just meant to be there as a second body rather than someone that helps out but if they’re meant to be active within the class he certainly missed the mark

Nicola Jones • Nov 2021

A very helpful, patient and encouraging teacher, very happy with our paintings, will definitely do again!

The class was really good, I enjoyed every minute. You don’t feel rushed you can go at your own pace. The teacher is very helpful if you need any guidance or suggestions on how you could do the picture. I would never of thought I had the capability to paint a swan never mind the background.

Linda Mead • Nov 2021

Loved it! Teacher was great and her team were on hand to provide extra paint etc. Fab venue, very friendly and I achieved a painting I didn't think I could do. Thank you very much!

Tracey Bean-Williams • Nov 2021

Teacher was really lovely, she did at times go faster than I would have liked, but she was happy to repeat anything if asked to do so. She was super friendly and it was a fun experience. I felt the supplies initially provided were inadequate, but again they were happy to top up supplies throughout the evening. All in all I would recommend.

Madeleine Menzies • Nov 2021

The evening was okay. The number of people that had signed up for the event meant we were very cramped at the venue. We sat shoulder to shoulder in a small space which given current circumstances was rather off putting. Becky the lady that ran the event was very good although I wouldn't call this a class. You don't really learn how to paint. Having said all that it's a great idea and a fun way to spend an evening meeting other people.

Evelyn Mills • Nov 2021

I've always enjoyed Painting Classes with Becky (my very first Painting Teacher) and this one's no exception. I have watched her giving instructions/lessons on Fireworks (for the Monthly challenge) and I have painted 3 different variations on A3 canvas. This class gave me more confidence to Paint on a bigger, 16" x 20" Canvas tonight and I am pleased with my work. I watched the class again to check on points that I have missed and I was happy to add some improvement to my work. Thank you Brush Party, for this Painting class.

Becky the teacher is lovely. It took a while (plus the use of a hairdryer) for the black background to dry. This meant that I was unable to listen to Becky talking about how to achieve different strokes. I will have to listen to the video tomorrow. However, the session was most enjoyable.

The class was excellent the teacher was brilliant and good at explaining each step. She was good at explaining the different brushes and the technique on how to use them. I really enjoyed learning how to mix colours (who knew you could make green using black and yellow!)The venue was okay it a shame that they only had the downstairs bar open and also they were not serving food that evening.

The teacher was very encouraging and she was really helpful in showing people how they can correct mistakes.

She was also very lively and kept the group on track.

I came away really happy with the picture I had created and feeling really happy,relaxed and excited. It has really helped with my mental health and has given me a sense of achievement. I am looking forward to booking on another brush party in the near future. Thank you for hosting a fantastic evening.

Sherry Baffour • Nov 2021

I enjoyed the class tremendously and look forward to joining another with my niece.

The class was well set out and there was ample opportunity to ask for help or further items

such as paint or paper towels to clean the brushes.

The ladies running the class were very friendly.

Tricia Cooper • Oct 2021

I would have preferred a venue with a car park, but otherwise the venue was lovely.
Regarding the event: the teacher Beatrice and her assistant, Cliff, were very welcoming. The equipment was good and Cliff kept a good check through the evening that everyone had all they needed. The pace of the evening was just right. The instructions were great and gave us new ideas for the use of colour and techniques to produce a picture to be proud of.
I went with my adult son who has severe learning difficulties. Beatrice and Cliff both treated him with respect without being at all patronising, and gave him the right level of support. He really enjoyed his evening and is very keen to go to another Brush Party.

We enjoyed the class and the time passed very quickly. I liked the concept of paint and sip, combined with music. Everything we needed was provided and paints topped up as required. I’d have liked the opportunity to change my water as it was very dirty towards the second half which sometimes affected the paint colours and mixing.
What did disappoint me was the overcrowded space in which we worked.
The teacher was good (also friendly and helpful) and moved at a manageable pace. Because of the configuration of the room, however, she and her assistant were unable to move around the room and I would have liked brief guidance about my progress, or lack of it There was barely room to move and certainly not room to stand back and view the picture as was frequently requested. There also wasn’t room to take a photo of the whole canvas. Participants were elbow to elbow, back to back with very little room to move. This, I felt, went totally against Covid recommendations. In the space provided, there should really only have been 10, rather than 20 participants.
Overall, though I did enjoy the experience, but being immunosuppressed, would check the space available next time before booking!

Helen Brawn • Oct 2021

Fabulous! Would highly recommend Brush Party; hosts were welcoming, friendly and professional; venue was great, with parking, plenty of space, and superb atmosphere; event was wonderfully organised with everything you needed, clear instructions and plenty of encouragement to be creative.
Honestly one of the best nights out I’ve had in a long time, great value for money too. Will definitely be back!
Well done Brush Party. xxx

All the equipment/paint we needed was there & ready for us. The hosts were friendly & the lady leading the session explained things clearly. The speed of the class was just right - they were very good at giving positive comments to everyone (especially the children) whilst giving tips & help along the way.

Diane Evans • Oct 2021

Venue was too small for the amount of participants. We were literally sitting with our backs touching each other. Suggestions to stand up to look at our paintings or even take photos were impossible as not enough room. The tutor could not 'tour' the class and see our work or offer advise. Asking questions was difficult as the tutor was too far away and couldn't see what we were doing.
We did have a good time and although not the next " Steven Brown" we were pleased with our results.

Excellent evening; felt very welcome from the start even as someone who hasn't painted in 20 years. The team were helpful, its a lovely room to sit in and a throughly absorbing 3 hours. I didnt follow all the instructions colours wise and loved that the team accepted that rather than try to correct it. I have already recommended this to several people

The teacher (Becky ) was good . the class progressed well to begin with but got a bit hurried towards the end . the venue was a bit cramped .though all in all me and my friends had a great time. Would be a good idea to include a drink per person with the price as it does say paint and sip

Gina Larter • Oct 2021

A great evening out with lovely instructors. Painting van Gogh’s Starry Night was a real highlight to the week. More than that, it made me brave enough to pick up a paintbrush again after nearly 40 years

The venue was perfect, attached to a pub, but a barn-like feel to it with lots of paintings for sale around the walls, so inspirational!
Materials were good quality and glad to have the apron to keep clothes clean.
It was good value for money, and a fun night out?
Learnt to paint a night picture using light and shade.

We were taught how to paint the owl at a slow enough pace that everyone could follow easily. Long enough comfort/food breaks in between to make the event relaxing and truly enjoyable. We’re definitely coming back soon. Xx

Deborah Derrick • Oct 2021

I was a bit sceptical about this to be honest, I haven't painted anything since I was a child 50 years ago, and I am not artistic at all,but it was a present from my daughter and I absolutely loved the whole evening, the teacher was easy to follow and took us through every step,I am pretty proud of the end result so much so I might get myself some acrylic paint and canvas' and have a go on my own.

John Derrrick • Oct 2021

Thank you

Linda Holdridge • Oct 2021

really enjoyed it. possibly do better if half an hour longer as paints don't dry quick enough to get the best out of the multi colour painting class, so feels a little rushed. I know people can stop and go back / repeat - but that defeats the object of having a live session.
overall, enjoyable.

Excellent venue but bar service was very slow and wasted ‘class time’. With hindsight maybe a collective order could have saved time in the ‘break’ but it’s not a complaint about Brush Party - just about the venue.
Brush Party is a great idea and good fun. I will come again and recommend it to friends.

Natalie Sweeting • Oct 2021

Great teacher and beautiful example painting, I just find it a lot easier with a physical person there to assist. I've enjoyed all 3 of my online classes and would love to keep doing more

Felicity Bonnett • Oct 2021

Great value art session with great teachers, lovely venue and awesome equipment. Only one thing I’d say is at one point it all got very quick and I couldn’t keep up but overall will be booking again! Thank you! X

The painting was more challenging than I had thought originally. However, Becky, the professional artist, was great and talked us through the various sections very well.

Really great classes. Clear instructions that were easy to follow. It’s my first time painting an animal in watercolour and I was really happy with the final painting. Lots of great tips on different painting techniques. I’d definitely recommend this class.

Loved the painting. Great teacher and good amount of breaks to catch up during the evening so not too rushed. More paper plates and kitchen roll at the start would be good. Also felt a bit squashed in - not much elbow room between us.

Enjoyed Camelopard very much.
My only small complait is that we were late starting as some of the people attending were late . As a result I felt the 2nd half of the class was a bit rushed and I felt a bit stressed trying to keep up.
I suggest the class should start on-time. If people are late, they should just join-in and catch-up (with a bit of extra guidance during the breaks).

Karen Cookson • Oct 2021

Rebecca was fabulous! What s as lovely way to spend a Monday evening and I’m actually pleased with my painting

I loved this class and was amazed at the painting I managed to produce despite being ‘terrible at art’ The teacher was great and very helpful, happy to answer any questions. The venue was quite cramped so not ideal but other than that I have absolutely no complaints and will definitely be booking another one soon!

Vicky Rowley • Oct 2021

Great Tutor! She explained very well and helped when we needed and allowed time for breaks and refill of drinks! My only issue was the size of the venue we were all tightly packed in I would of preferred a little more room as I kept knocking the woman opposite me and the lady behind was very close but that wouldn't stop me from going again just a recommendation for a bigger space next time

Cecilia Wills • Oct 2021

Loved this class. Very relaxing , great tutor and suitable for beginners. Can’t wait to signup for more events

Georgina Westrope • Oct 2021

Great evening all-round, would definitely recommend to everyone - with or without previous painting experience!
The team were very friendly, and always on hand to offer help or advice, or even just for more paint! Also love the reward card, definitely encourages you to go again!

Encouraging and knowledgeable tutor, thanks September for a wonderfully relaxing class via YouTube. I learned so much about mixing colours and using the right brush for the effect we were looking for. I’ll definitely be booking for more online classes. The kit was great too and arrived in really good time ahead of schedule. Thank you Brush party.

Fab evening - teachers excellent.
Just do it you will surprise yourself.
Came away feeling great.

Sue Gold • Oct 2021

unfortunately the connection was not good and the image kept freezing so session was not completed . What I saw of the session was good and teacher tried her best but difficult to give a proper review .

Carol Plumridge • Oct 2021

We had a great time thanks. We felt it was well led, fun to do and timed very well! Painting to music was great too.
We would really like to do one again sometime.
Thank you for providing an opportunity to spend a fun evening to create a mutual memory we can keep and maybe even display!

Gisele Farmer • Sep 2021

I didn’t like the layout of the room as I could see the guide properly. I felt the class size was too big with little individual attention or guide.

Me and my bestie attended the Brush Party in West Wycombe to paint Bluebell the Cow (my bestie's fave animal) we had a brilliant night (apart from the journey home in torrential rain) the teacher was AMAZING! So clear with instructions, really friendly and helpful too❤ we were so pleased with how our paintings turned out! The group were really friendly too and we chatted away to other painters. Had a fab night. The pub was across the way from our room, but bar lady was lovely as had to come across to our room to make our tea. This was my 3rd brush party but my bestie's 1st. We'll definitely do more. I LOVE them! Thank you for such a great night!

My first brush party at George and Dragon in West Wycombe. I invited my sister along. We had such an enjoyable evening and already looking to book another. It was great back painting again and I loved my final piece of my cow. It was a great location and set up. Excellent teaching and easy instructions to follow. Very therapeutic.
Highly recommend if organising a night out.

Freda Boulter • Sep 2021

Very enjoyable evening. The time flew by. Could have done with more 1 2 1 help. The music was too loud which meant we couldn’t always hear what was being said.

Everyone had different experiences of painting from none at all to artists. It was so nice to relax and do something completely different. 10/10 brilliant evening.

September is so infectious and made the whole experience really enjoyable. I actually prefer this method to the actual parties as I found I was getting left behind. Being able to do the class at home meant I could pause when necessary so I didn’t get left behind. As a member of the club this is very important to me.

My boat has capsized!

Michaela Foster • Sep 2021

We all had a great time, enjoyed the painting love the end results. venue was good wouldn't eat there again if I did another class.

Jessica Hicks • Sep 2021

Our teacher was so lovely, clear with her instruction and regularly took a wander around the group to talk to individuals and help with any questions. It was a fantastic experience, a lot of fun and we would definitely do another brush party in the future!

Very enjoyable as usual. September, the professional artist, is always good fun. The composition done tonight was an interesting one and I learnt quite a bit about the subject matter. As often happens, it is quite a gallop to get the painting finished within the 90 minutes allocated.

I always look forward to the Brush Party painting classes at Ampthill. It is a great room, almost purpose built, with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. So much so that I feel very comfortable going along on my own. The Artist this week was Amanda and she was just fabulous. I liked the way she explained the painting, the colour matching, blending and highlighting. Amanda also taught us about brush sizes and how to correctly use the angled brushes to their full advantage. Amanda’s lovely colleague Claire, was our wonderful background support this week. Not only attentively attending to all our practical needs, but always there with gracious compliments and encouragement. I’m so very happy that I’ve discovered Brush Party, it’s such an enjoyable evening, goes way too quickly and I cannot wait for the next one. Thank you so very much ladies, brilliant evening xx

Paula Bland • Sep 2021

The venue was a bit cramped and it was noisy and difficult to see & hear at times but the teacher responded to requests to repeat instruction.
I found the early part a bit rushed but the more detailed parts were at a good pace. Overall a great evening, i have been before and will go again.
Please do some pics in colours we'd actually like to hang on the wall!

I enjoyed painting the Cafe Terrace at Night (van Gogh style) and Becky, the Teacher, was brilliant. I am not completely happy with my work so I will find time to watch the video again and improve my painting. I'll add extra chairs and cobblestones on the shaded green area and will improve the windows in the shops across the road. My sky also needs good stars With hindsight, I should have used a smaller canvas like 12" x 16" instead of the Large one (16" x 20" that I used.

Bernadette Harrison • Aug 2021

All great.

Shirley Pinnock • Aug 2021

For someone who has zero artistic talent I booked this class thinking I had no chance of coming out with a halfway decent painting!
How wrong could I have been. Step by step instructions by a great teacher who was really friendly and didn’t make you feel silly asking questions.
The vibe in the class was fun with great music playing so you could have a little sing along as you painted.
Would highly recommend it to anyone!

Jacqui Baker • Aug 2021

Really good but found it a bit fast in places. Excellent venue and staff. A lovely social evening.

Evie was lovely and showed us all carefully what we needed to do. She had an assistant who took photos and topped up materials etc who was also very friendly.

This was quite a tricky painting and took quite a bit of concentration to get right. I think the timing was a bit short for it to be honest. We weren’t rushed but had by nine means finished in the allotted time.

The music was great to listen to but a little distracting.

I personally think a Brush Party is great value for money and an enjoyable night out with friends. This is the third one I have down now.

Really lovely experience as a first timer to a Brush Party event! The instructor and assistants were very attentive and encouraging. The ladies were encouraging and made an extra effort to give advice or extra materials when requested. The venue is lovely, but found that the atmosphere was a little noisy. Perhaps a more quieter area for next time. All in all a lovely experience.

Anjali Batish • Aug 2021

Teacher gave very clear instructions, was a relaxed setting I liked that they had music in the background and it was in a pub - easy to get drinks and snacks and they provided all materials too. Was great fun and learnt a few painting tips too. Good value for money, would definitely recommend.

Although I have zero talent for painting I really enjoy the online events and some of my efforts are quite passable when viewed from across the room.
However, I do tend to fall behind at times and miss instructions/advice from the instructor so must learn to hit the pause button rather than struggle on.

Hannah Fordham • Aug 2021

My mum and I very much enjoyed the class, my only criticism is that I paid £15 each and we really didn't need to. But the instructions were clear and we were able to pause where we needed to :). I hope they bring out some more online.

Sally Jarman • Aug 2021

It was great to be able to do the session at home as we couldn't make the current venue ones. The equipment we needed was commonly available and not too expensive. It was a nice way to spend an evening.
The presenter was friendly and chatty but we felt she went very quickly, brushing over (excuse the pun) some explanations of how she achieved an effect on aspects of the picture. I think we missed the support that being in the venue, with facilitators moving around the room to offer advice, gave us.

Another brilliant and fun evening from Brushparty I'd do this every evening! Even as a total beginner like me, you'll be able to put together something nice, teachers offer very helpful guide and technique tips :)

Really good event and great fun! I was very hesitant about joining in and thought I'd be useless at painting but enjoyed every minute of it. Our artist Becky was brilliant, laid back and very encouraging of all our efforts :-)

I loved this! We did it as a team virtual social and it was so much fun! Our host was lovely and really patient with us as we had a few people join late. She taught us a lot of different techniques and I enjoyed the session very much

Really good fun and really pleased with what I produced. Great direction from the lovely art teacher whilst still letting us put our own creative flare on it. However would have been better if it was slightly more interactive, ie if it was on a video call and we could all talk to one another.

The event was very well organised by 'ClassBento' team covering each and every detail. Overall feedback from our team was exceptionally positive.

Becky our teacher was exceptionally talented and walked us through the process very patiently. On top of that, the event was for 1.5 hours but Becky went an extra mile to give extra time.

Thanks a lot as the attached picture is a testament how happy we as a team were :)

It was my first class and I loved it. I was particularly interested in painting trees and so the class was a good place to start. Instruction was clear and concise. I am glad I could pause the live show. It was informative and I learnt a number of techniques.

All was great - only little problem was that canvas was ripped from the centre when it arrived.

Really enjoyed doing this painting. It was actually the one I had been waiting for since I first heard about Brush Party. Lovely, clear instructions and not too rushed so it was possible to keep up and produce a painting I'm pleased with.

Great and loved it! My painting ended up so nice and the instructor was very clear.

Really enjoyed this lesson. I haven’t painted for a long time but my daughter bought this as a Mother’s Day present. I’m very pleased with the result.
The only difficult part was keeping up with the tutor (she was quicker than me) but I was able to pause the video and go back a bit to catch up. The lesson was well presented and I would recommend ClassBento

A birthday surprise for my sister and 5 friends! This was the first time any of us had attempted any kind of art since we left school 15 years ago. We all loved it so much and we have been inspired to take part in more online art classes very soon.

I loved this class! Step by step instruction and having the ability to pause at times I needed more time was great as well. An enjoyable and relaxing activity.

Will definitely do more classes including art and other options.
