About

How does it work? Once you confirm for class at the checkout, you will want to email us a photograph of your partner to merlotandamasterpiece@gmail.com. Instructions are provided in your confirmation email following the checkout.

What To Expect

Our artists will sketch out your partner on the canvas prior to the day of class, and on the night of your class, you will paint your partner! Our local artist will help you as much or as little as you want. Give you tips and tricks and help you with color.

You will have an amazing masterpiece of your partner created all by yourself!

What To Know

  • Photos need to be emailed to the studio no less than 72 hours prior to class. If we do not receive your photo by the requested time, we cannot guarantee the sketch will be ready.
