Canvas and Cocktails

My first experience at painting. Dre Made it so easy and so FUN!!!
Thank you for one of the best date nights!

I won’t be going back to this place. I like the idea/​concept– but there are much better & CLASSIER places in the Denver Metro to enjoy an evening of painting & drinking…
I attended the «Prince Tribute» night. Not only did the class start WAY LATE, but the instructor was whining about the fact that Prince’s music wasn’t on Spotify, and she actually had to BUY a few of his songs. From my math, there was about $ 2000 worth of students in the room at the time (and they had a total of I think 5 Prince tribute classes scheduled), and she couldn’t bring herself to buy a few cd’s? Of the few songs she did play, there were many repeats. Shameful. I’m sure many of the people attending could have brought a plethora of music with us, if need be– but the fact that she couldn’t even buy a few cd’s for the event shows she was just trying to capitalize off his death and make a few bucks. Not to mention, she kept calling the shape of the guitar we were painting «weird».
TOTALLY OUT OF TOUCH WITH HER CLIENTS & TRYING TO CAPITALIZE OFF THE DEATH OF A LEGEND… REVOLTING!!!

Kazan Clark is an amazing teacher, and this is a VERY FUN thing to do, for couples, individuals, parties, you name it! Highly, highly recommend this! Cindy

This is a great enjoyable fun place. I was nervous that this geared more to females, which is understandable, but it really isn’t. There was a good amount of men there. The instructor and bar tender were very nice and approachable. The drinks were very well priced, $ 4-​$ 5 each unless you want a bottle of wine, which is reasonably priced. Don’t expect your painting to be a ‘Bob Ross’ but it will turn out great.

Came here on a Sunday night for a girl friend’s birthday!
This place can hold A LOT of people.
I love that you can get your own paint from a set of pump action bottles.
The teacher was a hoot, very supportive, very funny and explained most things very clearly.
Each «event» has their own space. We had a birthday party and had our own space.
I love that the bar has affordable beverages! Can do low key and get the 12 dollar bottle of wine, or up from there.
Lots of options, beer, mixed drinks etc…
Definitely a fun time, and i’ll be hanging this picture on my wall!
The only down side was some instruction on how to blend the back ground appropriately. I had learned that in a different brand, so it all worked out!
Definitely grab a friend, a mate, or someone you want to know better and get creative!

I had such an amazing time at this establishment. Dre is an amazing teacher and she makes each and every person in the room feel like what they’re doing is correct. Even for a perfectionist like me she made me feel very comfortable and I enjoyed myself so much. I went out on the town with my sister-in-law’s just to get some bonding time with each other and it was so much fun. The music was fun her energy was amazing. The bartenders were great very knowledgeable of wine selections. When I got there the person that checked me in was great they already had an amazing floor plan set up everybody got to sit with their group it was a very comfortable setting from start to finish. I really enjoyed myself and though this is not my first time coming it definitely won’t be my last I will definitely be back and I will recommend others.

This is a fantastic time! I’m so glad I went!
It’s an entertaining evening at $ 25 a seat and everything is provided. In addition to this, bottles of wine are $ 12. Well ok then! I’ll take the bottle!
We painted colorful trees. It was enjoyable and as someone who used to paint for fun I enjoyed this experience and getting «artsy» a great deal. There’s also 20% off merchandise if you feel inclined to shop while here.

We had such a wonderful time after we came here to relieve some work related stress. The Teaching, the wine, the music was absolutely fantastic. I will definitely be going back again and I look forward to bringing so many more of my friends!

One of my girlfriends planned a ladies night here and made reservations for us. So when we arrived, we just had to pay and were taken to our reserve area of canvases.
Before classes start, they have a little shop area of cute jewelry, clothes, and nicknacks. So dangerous! Lol my girlfriends and I all bought some jewelry with a 20% discount and/​or bought paintings painted by others for $ 10 each.
One of my girlfriends and I bought/​split a bottle of wine to share because how can you not drink while you paint?! Haha. Our night was the starry night with the Denver skyline.
Loud music is played as you paint each segment after the instructor shows you what to do. I thought she went a little too fast as she was showing us each portion of the painting. That’s the only reason for the one less star.

Love love love Kazan! Best painting class I have taken and best class with the best music!

Really Great instructors plus the wine selection is good. The staff is friendly as well. They play music in the background while you work. Everything went great and for Valentines Day they had free gifts from the owner which was nice. I plan on coming back again.

My boyfriend gave me a gift certificate for my birthday, and so far I’ve been twice. I loved both visits and I’m looking forward to my third next month! Dre is a great instructor– she’s high energy and fun. Great for girls night or a fun date night!

Kazan is rude and we will never come back here! The atmosphere was ok. The bartenders were sweet. Over priced and slow check-​in process. I asked for help and was brushed off and ignored. Needed better instructions. Just my thoughts.

This was the perfect gift for my family members and I to attend! So much fun! Our instructor was hillarious and reminded me of someone from SNL. All our paintings turned out surprisingly well. It was fairly cheap only $ 25 per person and definitely worth it for such a fun night! Loved that we could paint what we wanted, put our own twist on the original painting, or copy it exactly!

Kazan is my favorite she makes the class super fun! I would definitely come again and recommend any of my friends to come. Arrive a little early because it takes a little while to get checked in.

Almost 2 years later and more addicted then ever! I just love all the staff and the classes are always so much fun (no matter the size). Brittney has added some new fun things to paint other then just the normal Canvas. New paintings ALL the time! Never a dull moment!

I’ve been in a handful of times, and each experience was great. This time was memorable, Dre our instructor was awesome. She was great with answering questions, she played some killer music, and made everything a fun time. We shall be back again!

I love the instructions that they give you here. At the end of the day I believe that is what it really comes down to is who is teaching and the energy that they put off. As well as the music selections. Their bar has a decent selection and $ 12 bottles of wine. The staff is amazing and they make you feel welcome. The Cherry Creek and the Glendale locations are amazing they also have a frequent painter club now so after so many you can get a painting free.

Must do!!! My mom visited recently for a weekend and I surprised her with doing this. Neither of us are experienced painters but we had an absolute blast! Dre made us feel comfortable and confident from the first brush stroke. The atmosphere is fun and upbeat, a true no-​judgement zone with reasonably priced wine. What could beat that?

Always a great time — and I won a free class!

Only been once, and I’ll definitely come back :)
I came with a friend for a Sangria and Canvas class. It was fun.
I thought there would be a little more instruction from the teacher, but it was my first time to something like this, so I don’t have anything to compare it to.
I loved the bad (and not so bad ha) Jokes, and how the teacher played different kinds of music to include everyone.
It’s a super cute shop, and there was a discount on any purchases that day for people attending the class as well as a fun drawing or two that was unexpected fun.
My only complaint is that the Sangria was the worst My friend had ever had ha!

SOOOOO much FUN!!! we arrived right at 6:30 and they checked us in and got us sat right in the front! my friend and i ordered some wine from the bar which is so great having a wide range of options while painting it definitely was a great experience. the drinks ranged from wine, beer, water, mimosas, sangrias, soda, and even shirley temples! our instructor informed us where to get the colors we would need and showed us where our smocks were. the entire thing was just great all around a very relaxing fun and unique experience that i think everyone in the denver area should try at one point. its great for date night, girls night, and great for groups as well!
the instruction was so clear and for a very inexperienced painter this was good news for me. our instructor was great and explained each step what colors to mix, what brush to use etc. she then turns up the music and lets us go at it. the results were actually not as bad as i thought they would be and ill be hanging my masterpiece somewhere in my apartment (im very proud of my artistic skills i didnt know i had). the cheery creek location is amazing especially if youre planning on going to dinner before as the evening classes usually start around 6:40 pm! i cannot wait to get back in here and create my next painting. what a great way to spend a monday night!

Wife drove 30 minutes with our son to walk in for open paint in order to make a Father’s Day gift.
Unfortunately there was a private event in progress.
I was not present but understand that the event was small and there was additional room off to the side that could have accommodated her.
Granted she would have been better off calling ahead to verify availability.
That said, the unwillingness to make a modest accommodation ensures that we will not ever do business with this establishment.

I went here recently and it was a SUPER FUN experience. I’m certainly not a natural artist, but with Brittany’s help and somehow produced a half-​decent piece of art!
I would recommend going on a date here, or even with a group of friends. Drinks are not included (at least not with our session), but a bottle of house red/​pinot grigio will only run you around $ 10.
The only downside is that it is pretty pricey for two people to go, but honestly, for what you get it is reasonable. Also, great cherry creek location! Plenty of places to go for a bite to eat before/​after!

Went here for my sister’s birthday with my mom, Step Mom, and other sister. We had a blast! Mid morning on a Saturday. The wine was yummy. They had a cute little shop in the front of the store selling clothes, jewelry and local arts and crafts. They played a good mix of music and made for a very enjoyable girls day.

This was so much fun, great group of people painting and hosting. A awesome experience that everyone should try at least once. Great for a date or corporate event. I am now browsing the calendar for my next possible creation.

Great place! We treated my mom for Christmas and it was such a fun outing. The teacher Sarah was so funny, energetic and made the class so much fun. Can’t wait to return!

Great time! Super cute place! Little gift shop in the front. Awesome time painting our «chubby owl». Brittany was a great teacher. First drink free was a nice touch.

Canvas and cocktails has a fun and energetic environment. The instructors provide step by step direction so that painting is achievable by all students ranging in skill. They also allow freedom and flexibility for those who want to go rogue and paint on their own.
It’s a great way for friends to spend a few hours.
Both the activity and drinks are a little pricey but it is worth trying to see if you might like it. Occasionally you can find more affordable classes which is always a win.
Sometimes they offer classes that support a local nonprofit or cause which is really pretty unique.
Definitely worth trying… And with the more friends, the better.

We went there for a friend
party and it was lots of fun! I didn’t think I will like it, because iam not really into art but it was great. We had some wine first and then we started the class, the instructions made it very easy and I was very surprised with the results.
I will recommend it to anyone, oh the wine is very cheap$ 12 – 15 a bottle great deal for cherry creek.
Thanks

My wife and I stumbled into Canvas and Cocktails on a relatively easy-​going Saturday morning. After grabbing several splotches of paint, we tried our luck at painting a «chubby owl». The instructions from the class leader were very straightforward and I was surprised my canvas actually resembled an owl. Admittedly, I was afraid this outing would bring me back to second-​grade where art class consisted of slapping so much paint on the canvas that my work turned into an uninspiring blob of color. Now, I’m no Picasso… and my wife’s owl is going to receive three times as many compliments as mine… but I had a lot of fun and the cocktails were just enough to tap into my creative spirit (and start a childish paint war).
The morning class consisted of folks of all ages and the instructor played a nice variety of music. On more than one occasion, dancing and sing-​alongs broke out. So I would recommend a class for both families looking for a fun new activity and couples seeking a refreshing date day.

In high school, I was the kid who was «highly discouraged» from taking Art II after Art I, so I was pretty skeptical of the whole Canvas and Cocktails concept when we went for an extended family pre-​Christmas outing. I was very pleasantly surprised, however– this is fun!
They do a great job of walking you through the painting of the night and explaining everything step-​by-​step, so if you want your painting to look like the model, you actually have a decent shot at it. But if you want to be a wild child and change it up or paint something entirely different, they’re totally fine with that, too! The instructor for our evening was a great teacher and a lot of fun.
The «cocktails» part might be a tad misleading, since it’s just beer and wine, but they do have some decent reasonably priced options. You can get a bottle of wine for as little as $ 12, which is a steal, and most glasses were around $ 4. They come in plastic cups, but pours are generous. The sparkling wine is actually very decent.
Considering I have only rudimentary art skills, I’m actually pretty pleased with my painting, and I’m planning on hanging it at my office at home! I’d definitely go back to Canvas and Cocktails– would be a fun girls night or adult family outing, or even a date (even my husband and the other males in our group enjoyed).
