Whimsy Paint and Sip Art Studio

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!! So I’ve been to canvas and cocktails 3 times, but immediately when I walked in, I felt that these paintings just appeared so much better. More life, more color! I wanted to surprise my boyfriend for our 4 year anniversary since he’s never been to one of these. We had a blast! The class we were attending actually got canceled, but LINDSAY, our artist, was SUPER AWESOME! She let us choose any painting and basically gave us a private session. So happy with our painting and the staff is just overall amazing. I will definitely be back!

I love coming to Whimsy! Sometimes I come with a friend or two for a fun night out, and sometimes by myself, but either way I have fun. All of the artists /​staff are friendly and I know many of them by now from coming here several times. There is a wide variety of paintings on their calendar, which keeps things from getting boring (though I may have missed out on one or two since there are so many paintings!) and they also do fun things at their Meetup Art Club like painting clocks, aprons, and other fun stuff.
I also really like that they do a lot of Facebook contests like «Name That Painting» game where you can submit a name for a new painting, and the winning name gets to come paint for free. There’s also a wide variety of drinks, with and without alcohol — I love the Izze’s! It would be cool if they could do some alcoholic beverages that aren’t wine or beer, like margaritas or daquiris, but they do have Mike’s and mimosas, too, so that’s cool.
They also have open studio time which is nice, so I can come in and touch up a few things on paintings I’ve done before — very satisfying for my inner perfectionist. I think most people, myself included, are their own worst art critics. After I’ve spent a few hours on a painting I can’t appreciate it as much, so often I’ll put my painting away when I get home and leave it out of sight for a week or so. When I come back to it a week later I can look at it with fresh eyes and I usually like the way it looks more. But at the end of the day it’s not about making a perfect looking painting, it’s about letting loose, giving my artistic side some room to explore, and having a fun night out. I definitely recommend it!

I’ve been here twice in the past year and I have to say that I’ve had MUCH better experiences at other places. Specifically Canvas & Cocktails in Cherry Creek.
While I love that Whimsy is so close to my house, they are just lacking the «fun» element and the «teaching» leaves much to be desired.
I took my work team here and none of them had done anything like this before. So when the instructors rushed through each step it was rather frustrating! The point of going here is to be creative while being assisted. If the instructors just run through it quickly, there is not much actual learning going on and everyone becomes frustrated because they feel they are «no good» at it.
The instructors felt very disconnected, one of them barely smiled at all then had the nerve to ask for tips! I think not!
I will definitely keep doing these painting days with friends and co-​workers but it will not be at Whimsy!

Love whimsy! The art my family and I have painted here hangs all over my house. It’s a really fun evening out.
I would suggest booking far in advance, the best paintings sell out weeks out and sometimes you’re left with odd paintings you don’t really care for. Sure you can always paint your own, but I sure don’t have that skill!

Had s great time with friends and the staff was awesome. Super fun, helpful and friendly. Under new ownership and they seem great. Perfect for friends night out.

I haven’t even been to Whimsy yet and I wanted to give them a shout out. I had purchased a seat for a session this morning and woke up to this winter storm we’ve been hearing about and knew I wouldn’t be able to make the drive up from Denver. I called them and left a message and Christina called me back right away and said I could get a credit to use for another class and I’d get an email. Not two I hours later I received a very clear email about how to use my credit to sign up for another class. Great customer service! I look forward to painting!

More about the bar than the painting. The staff started class late and ran over because they were more concerned about entertaining and continuing to serve those that were clearly already drunk than moving at a decent pace. The pictures are beautiful and staff are talented painters, but not good instructors. Save your money, watch Bob Ross.

I went to whimsy last night for the first time. We went a an employee outing and I had such a blast! The instructor was witty and fun. She was very descriptive which made it super easy for the whole group to have a successful painting. I will most definitely be back :)

Whimsy’s a fabulous place to let your creative side play! The teachers have created an environment that gives you confidence to express yourself through paint, song, and dance. They’re encouraging, supportive, and make you feel like you’ve created a masterpiece (even if you have no idea what you are doing)!

The atmosphere was very relaxing and inviting! It was an amazing experience for my birthday! Most recommended!
Get your Van Gogh on!!!

Went here on a girls night, we had such a great time painting and laughing. It has a good bar and staff. A fun Night for sure!

Whimsey is always a great time! I have enjoyed everyone of my last 10 or so paintings and I know I will have more fun in the future there!!!

LOVE this place! I first went with a group of girlfriends and we all had such a blast, I just knew my kids would love it. They had an awesome robot painting that was just up their alley on a Saturday, so I signed them up. They LOVED it too! The instructors are great, the atmosphere fun and casual. Highly recommend!

I got 2 certificates as a gift and had heard good things about Whimsy. And I’m happy to report that it’s all true! It was a fantastic experience! Came to this with a girlfriend and we had an absolute blast! Well worth the money, I totally would do a few of these classes. I arrived late (mix of unforeseeable traffic and work obligations) I arrived roughly 30 minutes late and felt a bit flustered (at first) for missing so much of the class– but the ladies at Whimsy got me caught up to speed rather quickly. They were fantastic! Drinks are very reasonable and the instructors were super patient. Music was fantastic– a great way to spend an afternoon or evening with your gal pals (or guy pals). Highly recommend the experience!

I absolutely loved my experience at Whimsy! I have attended one other paint and sip business, and Whimsy was a better experience. I used a groupon deal for Whimsy and came in on a Friday night. It was busy, which makes the experience more fun. The teacher was great. She explained the painting well and added some fun jokes. The supplies provided are excellent. The best part of Whimsy is the music played. It was the perfect soundtrack for a ladies night. At the end of the night, I was very happy with my final product and with my experience.
The only downfalls with Whimsy are the price — I wouldn’t pay full price for the experience, and I am glad there was a groupon for it– and the fact that the high price does not include a drink. The other paint and sip business I attended included one beverage with the ticket price. If Whimsy offered a drink with the ticket price, I would be willing to pay the full price ticket and give five stars.

I love it here. It is so much fun! The first time I came here with a few friends and my mom. The most recent was with a date a couple of weeks ago. It was enjoyable and I want to go again soon.

What a fun way to spend a Saturday evening with the girls. The ladies in my family try to do a girls night occasionally and we hadn’t done one in a while. My aunt decided that it was time for another one and suggested we go out and do something a little out of the norm for all of us. Enter Whimsy Paint & Sip.
There is plenty of parking since it’s located in the Orchard Town Center and pretty easy to find. When you walk in you have your choice of seats and I think if you are there early enough your can reserve seats for your entire party. Each station has a canvas, 3 paint brushes and a pallet of paint for the masterpiece that you will be creating that evening.
They offer wine by the glass and certain wines by the bottle, beer & water for your sipping pleasure. They also have a handful of snacks available to purchase. While you can’t bring any outside drinks in, they do allow you to bring food since much isn’t offered in the way of sustenance.
The staff is friendly and extremely helpful throughout the entire session. They play great music the entire time and even break to do a little dance party to a certain movie soundtrack. Like I said, it was a great way to spend a Saturday night with some really great people. This would also be a great team building exercise or a great place to come for a holiday outing with friends if you are looking to do something different.
Painting, dancing, drinking and laughing — the cure all! Now if I could just figure out where to hang my masterpiece…
Enjoy!

I’ve painted here several times and each time I have so much fun! They have a great martini menu along with wine, beer and non alcoholic drinks. The artists are very helpful and you can tell they love their job. Oh, and they have a great music to paint and dance to!
I am so excited to come back with my husband for a date night!

I paid $ 45 for a painting class here. For $ 45, I expected that there would be at least one glass of house wine included. No wine included, but you are welcome to buy a glass for $ 5. ($ 50 for painting and a glass of wine — that’s pricey!!)
Whimsy is totally a cute studio/​bar area. The class was suppose to start at 6:30pm. The actual painting started at 7:10pm. and I didn’t leave there until 9:30pm.
The instructor was good, and I did have fun learning to paint. I just had high expectations for a $ 45 painting class.
I would give 5 stars if Whimsy allowed people bring in a bottle of wine (or bottle of water…) or give out a glass of house wine and would appreciated a starting time of 6:45pm. I think that would of been truly a wonderful night!

We bid on a gift certificate to this place at an action. So I was not 100% sure I was going to like this; I am really not artistic at all. I really don’t like painting but I do like drinking so it does have one thing I like so we will give it a shot!
So we get there the staff is very friendly and explains you find a canvas and an apron get a cocktail and they will start the class soon. We did that, then to the cocktails, I was happy to find that they were not over priced at all in fact the beer was dirt cheap $ 3!
We started the class and they really did give you step by step instructions to paint the picture of the night but they were also very clear you could go on your own way if you wanted.
By the end of the night it was very cool to see all the different types of the same general painting!
Overall a ton of fun! So I guess went you put drinking and painting together I like that!
