About Art a la Cart


The detail-oriented instructors at Art a la Cart take students through each painting step-by-step, showing them how to mix and blend their own colors and build compositions from the background without having to first live among paintings in local art museums. They supervise students in a themed class series as they paint still-life fruit and candies, portray whimsical landscapes, depict parts of the San Francisco skyline, or emulate the style of a classic artist. Groups explore each subject and question its lack of Renaissance cupids in one of five locations, which include wine-cellar tasting rooms, underground wine bars, and a modern minimalist cocktail lounge. Staff members supply all acrylic paints, brushes, and other gear for each class; and though they don't provide any libations, instructors encourage participants to bring or purchase their own drinks.

I had no idea what this would be like. I am already an artist and wanted to try a different type of art. I found this groupon and decided to try it. The gal Karen who is in charge is absolutely perfessional and fun. She was a treat to hang out with in the process of learning during the 2 hours spent. The location was also whimsical and there was a nice group. I would take another class from her in the future. Even without a groupon.

Had not heard of this business until I saw it on Groupon. Had a great time. The instructor was patient, helpful, and a very good artist. My only complaint is the lack of room and the dim lighting in the cafe we met at, but would definitely do it again!

I REALLY LOVE THE CONCEPT. THE VENUE WAS NOT WELL LIT. VERY HARD TO SEE AND MIX COLORS CORRECTLY. THIS NEXT COMMENT IS NO FAULT OF ANYONE -- THE GIANTS' GAME WAS ON TV (AND I WAS HAPPY FOR THAT) BUT IT WAS SO LOUD THAT IT WAS VERY HARD TO HEAR THE TEACHER. SO, I DO HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT ART A LA CART -- BUT, IT WAS FUN.
