The deal is on!
When the brontosaurus piñata you made in Spanish class met its demise in a flurry of broomstick flailing, a piece of your artistic ardor died with it. Today’s Groupon rekindles your expressive temperament with a two-hour painting class at Paint Along, located about 15 minutes south of downtown Nashville in Brentwood. Call ahead to reserve your spot in class.
Paint Along adultizes the group art class by providing expert step-by-step instruction without relying on finger paint and macaroni. All the supplies you need are provided, so there’s no need to make horsehair paintbrushes at home. You’ll be supervised attentively, ensuring your questions are answered and you leave gleefully clutching a 16”x20” masterpiece. Paint Along’s calendar offers a wide range of sessions that instruct you on a specific painting, such as lounging madams, radiant leafage, and abstract expressionist renditions of the psychological interior. Following along with a pre-determined painting takes away all the stress of planning your image, allowing you to relax into the soothing rhythm and peaceful motion of brush over canvas.
Nurture your Luddite-based hatred of pixilated clip art while creating something you can hang up in that empty hallway at home. Don’t listen to that voice in your head telling you that you’re not a creative person, because the attentive staff and nurturing environment at Paint Along will have you painting chapel ceilings in no time.
Reviews
Most of Paint Along's customers are too busy enjoying their masterpieces to write online reviews, but one Virtual Tourist shared her experience with the original business, Paint and Pour:
- Believe me - I have absolutely NO artistic talent, but I am pleasantly surprised after each class at what I am able to do. The best part is you get to take home your completed masterpiece at the end of the class, so you get that immediate gratification of having completed a project. – TravellerMel, Virtual Tourist
Groupon Says
Painting by Numbers
Paint Along makes creating art more attainable than anything since the creation of the painting by numbers system in 1950. The assisted-painting kits advertised, "Every man a Rembrandt," which was technically true, but only because that advertising clause contains no verb and is therefore meaningless.
The kits allowed even the untalented to produce high-quality paintings, usually depicting bucolic nature scenes, portraits of baseball players hallucinating, or gentle images of distended children riding giant battle worms. The popularity of the kits exploded after President Eisenhower was photographed eating the components of the kit after a vigorous workout. Painting by numbers is less popular now due to widespread public cognitive dissonance between visual representations of numbers and the existence of abstract numeric concepts apart from physical representations.
