Pinot’s Palette – Leawood

I’ve painted at other places and I just loved our evening at Pinots Palette! The instructor and employees were outstanding! My daughter, sister in law and friend all had a great time. A special evening together.

We could have asked for a better way to have spent a Sunday evening together. I can’t wait to go again. So much fun and I enjoyed seeing everyone’s paintings. Loved that we could bring our own wine.

Fun fun fun! I visited with a girlfriend, and painted the «Wine & Jazz» selection. Class was about 20, which was a perfect size. Pinot’s Palette really has their system down, they walked us through every step of the process, and everyone had a lovely canvas by the end! Our instructor, Rachel, was fun & bubbly. She encouraged us to personalize our paintings — e.g., put our name or initials on the label of the wine bottle, that kind of thing. We all had a blast! I’d recommend it without hesitation to anyone, whether you think you’re «good at art» or not. Hint, you’re probably better than you think. Have fun making something pretty.

My wife and I visited here twice in two weeks for some solid evenings of fun. I was concerned about my own ability as I’m not really the artistic type, but the instructors are patient and helpful. They give excellent suggestions and are really there to help you, not run you down.
They have 2 rooms for painting, the main room and the private party room. We only were in their main room, but I would guess the experience would be about the same. They set you up with a canvas and all the colors you will need for the night. For those of the overly artistic persuasion, they do allow you to add your own flair to the painting. It is yours to take home after all. Change the colors or whatever you want to do. The second night we were there, there were a few people who just painted their own thing.
Pinot’s Palette is not just about painting. They encourage people to bring in their own drinks. Lots of wine all around. While my wife and I don’t drink, it didn’t bother us. If you don’t bring anything, they do sell some stuff if you wish to partake.
It was a fun couple of date nights. Now we just have to find places to hang all the paintings…

Two friends and I went in for a special advertised online and a flyer. Upon entry the employee was exceptionally rude and condescending. We asked to do the special we saw online to which the employee replied «We cancelled that. We have a class coming in». Please note there was NO ONE in the store. Immediately after we left, the rest of our group of our friends arrived and were allowed in. Having worked in customer service for over 10 years, I was exceptionally disappointed by how my friends and I were treated. I will not be returning.

Very, very disappointed with the customer service (we were first-​timers). Made plans with friends to attend Park Place’s Holiday Open House. The website and social media flyer advertised $ 10 special drop-​in at Pinot’s Palette in Leawood to paint an 8×8 holiday painting 10am-​5pm. We walked in just before 2pm. The place was practically empty, and we were greeted by an employee who was sitting down towards the back. She was painting, and did not even bother to get up to greet us. She all but said «what do you want». We advised her we were here to paint the $ 10 holiday painting. Annoyed and disinterested, she advised us they decided to end the special early, because they have classes coming in. We tried to explain what was advertised, but she could care less. So we left. Less than 10 minutes later, friends of ours went in and were able to paint the $ 10 Holiday Open House painting, because they had a «bigger group» (aka 1 more than we did). I am confused as to why we were turned away and treated the way we were. None of the advertisements listed the size of your party as a requirement. Being nationwide, I am sure Pinot’s Palette is a decent company and would not encourage this type of customer service. However, this short first impression left an extremely bad taste in our mouth, and we will not be inclined to return.

I was very disappointed on my visit. I felt as though I was bothering the two who were there to help. There were only about 8 customers in the class. I’m not an artist, but went there to have fun with another friend who came with me, and to paint a picture for my mother’s birthday. I overheard one of the girls who works there telling one of the customers that she tells everyone they have done a good job, but doesn’t always mean it. If you don’t know how to paint well this isn’t the location for you to go to if you ask questions or need help. I will not be going back to this location.

I love Pinot’s Palette! Thanks Matt E for introducing them to me at an earlier elite event. I returned for a class given by Cayla and Carla. The painting was «Birds on a Wire.»
I loved the painting when I saw it on their website, so it’s the one I chose to paint. The class size was about 15. One group was a wedding shower, one group was 3 friends. I came alone.
Easels are set up at stations, prenamed (with chalk), and the paint was premeasured on a paperplate. There were 3 brushes, and a glass of water.
The instructor was cheery, knowledgeable and helpful. They gave us plenty of time to paint the design, providing skills that are useful for other painting. I loved the experience of the class room, skills and the end result.
The staff is fantastic. There is wine to purchase, some bought their own. (note to self, bring snacks next time).
I’ll keep an eye out for other paintings I want to paint. What a cool placem great instruction. awesome music (I painted the sunset while Sublime sang in the background, «I don’t cry when my dog runs away.» almost to a sing along with the class participants.
They have frames for $ 35. I just really love the entire class, facility, easy parking, beautiful area.

I came here for an Elite event and let me tell you how GREAT of an experience it was!
First off, great idea for a business. How can you want more than booze & paint all in one setting? Such a great environment, selection of wine and beers, and an awesome staff who will teach you how to paint.
I came here and painted the Nelson Atkins museum and let me tell you I was nervous! All free hand painting! Have no fear, the teachers are here! They give you step by step instructions on how to paint the object with ease. Plus you do get to bring out your inner artist with the liquid courage flowing.
While the paint dries, you get to take advantage of the drinks they offer as well as scan the wall for the previous paintings that were made. It’s so cool to see what kinds of pictures they offer to teach you there! I definitely had my imagination run wild with new things I want to paint!
It was such an incredible event and I can’t wait to come back soon!

Had a great time here painting the nelson atkins. Even though I’m not an amazing shuttlecock painter, I enjoyed the class and would definitely come back and recommend to friends.
The drink prices were reasonable and parking was easy and free at the parking garage next to the building.

Painting at Pinot’s Palette was a really fun Elite event. It was an activity I’d considered trying it in the past, but this was final push I needed to get in front of the canvas and have a very patient artist lead me through creation of a KC masterpiece! Now that I’ve given it a go, I know I’ll be back with friends for ladies nights and bachelorette events in the future.
Coming in the door, we were able to store our coats in cubies and put on smocks to protect our clothes. There were snacks for munching along with a nice selection of 3 wines and 8 or so bottled beers to choose from. I think the glass of wine consumed prior to painting definitely helped to improve my amateur brush strokes. I liked that the artist leading the class provided step-​by-​step, clear instructions for painting the Nelson-​Atkins museum and shuttlecocks. Personalized help was also provided, which was very nice in helping to change my blank canvas into a piece of art that I’m not ashamed to display at home.
Overall, really fun, with opportunities to mingle at the start of the event and during a few breaks during the painting. I like that Pinot’s Palette offers a wide array of paintings to choose from in future classes –from flowers to KC Royals motifs, it seemed like there was something for everyone. Another great Elite event!
