Bottle & Bottega Lakeview

th some old friends, drinking a little and painting before heading out for the evening!!

with all the girls! They have great customer service and will work with you on the venue and artist. Everyone loved it and we got to take home a work of art that we were proud of! I will definitely use them again and will recommend to anyone! I have my work of art on my wall and so do my friends. Between the drinks and the nude model (who btw was very very nice) we had a blast!

rience. Highly highly recommended.

create a great work of art. While we simply choose to duplicate a piece that the artist had painted, I would love to go to a class with a nude model too! As someone with what I thought was no talent for art, I was surprised that my painting turned out as nice as it did. I definitely plan to return to another event with Bottles & Brushes!

hanie organized an amazing luncheon and a sexy model for people who wanted to paint him, and she had other options for those who didn't. There was no pressure, and it ended up being wonderful - classy, artsy, and all anyone could talk about for weeks. Yes, we had a nude model, but that was not a requirement. Stephanie creates events around you and your needs and what else can a bride want? I have never had a bad experience with bottles and brushes, and I have a wonderful selection of art work done by me - whether its a painting of my dog, a landscape, or a copy of an artists work. I always walk away feeling talented and amazing. And NO, you don't have to be "talented". The artists who teach you show you that you already are. I love bottles and brushes!

ing atmosphere where you are able to meet great people, have a glass of wine and finish a piece of your own artwork. Its so nice to have people come to events not thinking that they are good at art an walk away as artists. Love it and everyone should try it!

nting subject. Everyone had so much fun, the artist Peter was amazing and really gave us great suggestions on our paintings. The whole event was so organized, from setup to clean up. I would recommend this for any event, but the model really spiced things up to make it even more fun!

I still make sure to go often though. I've gone with girlfriends and had a fun night out, just like a typical night of drinking wine with dear friends, but with the added class of painting. I brought my mom to a combination cooking/painting class for mother's day which she absolutely adored. I hosted a private party for a bridal shower which was a hit to all 30 guests, 29 of whom whined before they began that they had "no talent". It's amazing how easy B&B makes it, everyone was proud of their creations. You can let your creativity flow and paint from your heart, or follow the artists' instructions in an almost paint by number style. So far I stick to following the artists' direction, but one of these days I'll do my own thing. The paintings are a great size. I have a few hanging in my apartment, and I've given several as gifts (seriously, I go a lot people). Even on nights when I barely focus on the painting and really concentrate on the...bottling, the colors are so vibrant and "I made it", so it's still something I want to show off. I have yet to try "Juice Bottles & Brushes" just because I'm busy planning my wedding now, but I can assure you I will be bringing my 4 year old niece to that one! I hope someone throws me a B&B shower closer to my wedding. Hint hint :)
