This Month's Painting
Paint at your own pace.
Your supplies, your canvas.

The Monthly Painting Session is designed for the artist who loves to create without a rigid schedule. We set up the studio, provide all the supplies, and display this month's featured painting as inspiration — then you paint at your own pace. Whether you follow the featured design closely, put your own spin on it, or go somewhere entirely different, this is your two hours to explore and create.

New to painting? We offer a printed canvas for beginners — a helpful starting guide that takes the pressure off and lets you focus on enjoying the process. More experienced painters can work freely with our full range of supplies.

No pressure, just painting.

Unlike a traditional step-by-step painting class, the Monthly Painting Session is designed for guests who want creative freedom with great supplies. We provide everything you need — paints, brushes, canvas, and this month's featured painting as inspiration — and then the studio is yours. Our local artists are present throughout your session and happy to offer tips and encouragement, but the direction of your artwork is entirely up to you.

FAQ

Questions we always get

This is a self-guided open studio session — not a step-by-step class. We provide all the supplies and display this month's featured painting as inspiration, and then the creative direction is entirely yours. Our local artists are present throughout and happy to offer tips or encouragement, but there are no formal instructions. It's a relaxed, pressure-free creative experience designed for artists who like to paint on their own terms.
Yes! If you're new to painting, ask us for a printed canvas when you book or arrive. The printed canvas has the featured design on it and gives you a helpful guide to follow as you paint — taking the pressure off starting from a blank canvas. It's a great way to enjoy the session without feeling lost. Our artists are always nearby if you have questions.
The featured painting changes every month. All Saturday sessions throughout the month paint the same featured design, then a new painting is introduced at the start of the following month. Check back on this page each month or follow us on Instagram and Facebook to see what's coming up next.
There are no refunds once a spot is booked. If you miss the session, DIY Art Kits are available for purchase upon request — so you can still paint the featured design at home. Just call us at 843-707-5512 to arrange one.
Yes — for private groups of 10 or more in the evening, please call us at 843-707-5512 to arrange a custom session. We'll work with you on timing, the featured painting, and any other details to make it a great group experience.
