I thoroughly enjoyed painting, didn't think I would, but it was so much fun. The only thing I would improve on was the young lady who did the narrative on my painting needs to speak up. When she turned towards her painting she was so soft spoken I could barely hear her. Other than that it was great. I'm thinking about ordering Christmas presents for my daughters.
Purchased 4 different paintings for our family. Such a fun evening. Was concerned we might not have a enough paint in the beginning but it was definitely plenty.
