Though the set up of the class is that everyone paints the same piece and the instructor demonstrates how to paint that particular piece, they always encourage participants to express themselves in their paintings, to be unique, original, and to just relax and have fun! If you're not interested in painting what the instructor is painting, you can paint whatever you want! The atmosphere is laid back and very happy they play up-beat music and serve yummy refreshments. Muse Paintbar: Unless you’re a professional artist, don’t waste your time or money. The teachers are so sweet, friendly, helpful, and supportive. The price is right (usually $35) and the experience is so much fun. I've now attended two paint nights at Muse and I can't say enough about what a great time and a great value it is! I am by no means a visual artist (seriously, not even a little), but this is a such a fun and simple way to tap into your creative side and I've just loved the pieces I've come home with.
