HOW PAINTING TO GOGH WORKS

Three Steps To Your Masterpiece

Who's painting?

Choose Your Scenario

The kit and the class are the same. The way you use them is up to you. Pick the closest fit, we'll show you what to expect.

Your kind of quiet night

One canvas. One video class. One evening to focus on something that isn't a screen full of work. The artist guides every stroke; you go at your own pace and stop and start whenever.

I haven't picked up a brush since high school. By minute 30 I'd forgotten I was supposed to be bad at this.
— Maya R., Brooklyn

An evening you'll actually remember

Pour the wine, press play, and paint the same scene side by side. No reservation, no driving, no awkward small talk, the artist gives you something to focus on together. Compare paintings at the end. Hang them both.

We've done this four times now. It's quietly become our anniversary thing.
— Jordan & Casey, Chicago

The party plans itself

Pick one painting. Send everyone a kit. Press play together, over Zoom, in the same living room, or both at once. The artist runs the class; you focus on the people. Bachelorettes, birthdays, girls' nights, or any excuse to get the group together.

I hosted my sister's bachelorette over Zoom with 8 of us across 4 cities. Easily the most fun anyone's had on Zoom.
— Priya S., bachelorette host

Real art, real attention span

Our paintings are designed for ages 8 and up, kids follow the same artist-led class as adults. Younger people can do it with a parent. Paints are non-toxic and washable, canvases are pre-stretched, and the whole thing tucks back into the box when you're done.

My 9-year-old finished a real painting and signed the back like an artist. It's hanging in her room and she's already asking when we can do the next one.
— Emily T., parent
See it in action

Not YouTube. A Real Art Class.

your pace, your night

Press play and a real artist walks you through every brushstroke. Pause for a snack, rewind a tricky bit, restart whenever. No reservation, no driving, no Pinterest stress.
