Lovely experience again! Very small class to allow for social distancing. Everyone wore a mask the entire time including the instructor. I felt very safe and comfortable.

Such a fun time! To just relax and paint, instructors are kind and are always willing to come around and help anyone. The painting are all unique and beautiful. Will definitely come again!

This place is just on another level of amazing. It goes beyond the painting. They genuinely care for the community. They reached out to create an amazing class for a young girl who suddenly lost her father. It just melted my heart at the amount of love and thought they put into her special class. I’m a forever fan!!!!

Came here with a group of coworkers (30 or so) as a team building event. Would definitely come back. We brought in our own catered food and drinks and ate before we started painting guided by the instructor. Great experience!!!

This is a really cool concept that from a business standpoint, has an enormous pool of customers. I am beyond pleased with the paintings, as someone who couldnt draw a stick figure. The only downside was there were 4 assistants who were introduced at the beginning, but were rarely seen during the session until the end when everyone needed them. They seemed to wander out of the room in groups and disappear for blocks of time. Because the instructor was working on a solid colored animal, the instructions werent as useful for some and the assistance was needed to stay on pace.

Went to purple easel with a group of 5. Myself and my aunties. I do not paint, and I went to this event as a part of a party. Their is a lady who shows you step by step what to paint and how to go about it on the canvas. It was so much fun being able to paint and drink. There was also a Christmas cookie exchange. Overall I would definitely go back. It was a change of scenery doing something fun instead of just drinking and clubbing. I would recommend it (:

Great place, especially for team binding or a 1-on-1 setting. The instructors make it easy to paint and you dont have to stay within the lines. You can get creative.

I like the idea of a brick & mortar paint party business but they crammed so many people into the space it made difficult to fully enjoy the experience. I got bumped from behind by other patrons 5+ times including once in the head.I think Ill stick with the paint nights that travel to various breweries and wineries on random nights. There may not be as much selection or steady nights as the Purple Easel but there is much more room.3 stars because the staff were excellent. The art instructor was patient with repeating for folks and provided varied option for the painting scenery and styles.

I had a great night with my friends painting and drinking. A fun way of finding out how artistic we truly are while following step by step instructions. Prices are affordable for when wanting to plan a night out. If youre looking for something new or random to do, this place has it.

Im mad that I have not been here before.. such a fun and awesome experience. Came in last night for my nieces 6th birthday. She loved it. We painted horses.

Absolutely loved it! They teach you how to do the paintings step by step. And they also stick to the time frame. They have a wide selection of paintings to choose from and have a calendar up for the month so you know what paintings you have to choose from. I highly recommend. Great fun with friends or family.

I first heard of Purple Easel through a living social deal. It was a buy one get one free type of thing in which it said painting and BYOB. I thought for the price it would be worth it to check it out and Im so glad I did!!! It is soooo awesome that I have been back multiple times with my mom and husband.When you arrive they give you everything you need for the entire night of painting. They have someone who teaches you how to mix the paints and paint your masterpiece step by step. It is amazing how wonderful everyones painting turned out. It doesnt even matter if you are good at art or not. The simple instructions from great staff members make it possible. I currently have all of my art work hanging on the wall.A few tips:1. the longer the class is the harder the painting. Try starting out with a 2 hour one.2. Make sure you bring lots of snack and drinks (alcoholic or not)3. Wear clothes that you dont mind if you get a little paint on because it doesnt come out4. Bring a plastic bag or something you can lay your painting on in the car. Sometimes the sides are still wet and you dont want to get it on your car seat

Took my daughter and her best friend there for a birthday celebration. They are both great artists honing their craft!

Review №42

This place is so much fun! A casual yet artsy environment. You can dress up but the possible wet paint drip on your clothing is more than a reality. It can be very hands on or simply step back and be an admirer/observer (:

My kids and I had a great time painting together. Weekend classes get really full so purchase ahead of time online. The instructor went a little too fast for a kids painting class though. We were scrambling to keep up.

Hidden gemstone in Ontario have been with them since they where located on Jack Benny and Rochester. Now they are located in behind the steak house and Ontario Mills. Great environment music. The artist are super fun and helpful. FYI you can bring your snack bring alcohol or pizza. I love that they also offer children’s classes. If you reserve a large party come early and they will seat you in the front. They are very down to earth. I have filled many cards where I come back and paint for free, never had a problem redeeming them. Can only be used for regular class if they are having a special class they cannot be used example when you paint your pets portrait that is a special class.

What a great place! Staff is super helpful for all levels of experience. Youre allowed food and drinks including alcohol. This place is perfect for a date night or even a fun night with friends and family. Wear something you dont mind getting dirty and sitting up close is really helpful, but even if youre in the back they have large screens up front so you can see from anywhere. Definitely recommend to. Anyone of all ages.

Awesome place! We had such a great time at the Purple Easel that it will be a regular part of our trip back home (we live overseas and Eastvale is home base for us). The lessons are great, easy enough to follow but at the end of it you have a painting that you feel very happy about! You feel artistic! Take the time to make an appointment, doing it as a group makes it more fun!

Fun place to come and hang out with friends. You can bring your own drinks and I recommend you wear something comfortable because you might get paint on your clothes. You can also purchase other canvas paints.

I am going back for the third time in 2 weeks. I was ridiculed in kindergarten and the first grade for my horrible coloring. I didnt realize how much this affected me. The first class I took I was in tears as many bad memories came flashing back. I took a second class and pushed through the hurt and pain. I overcame my pass hurts. I am now going to take a third class to push through all of my hurt and failures I have experienced in this life.Thank you Purple Easel!

This place rocks!If you are looking for a great date night you have found it. You dont need any painting skills to turn out a pretty darn good looking painting. The guides go slow enough for you to keep up and if you enjoy going freestyle you have plenty of time to turn your starfish into Patrick.While there you can drink wine. We like to hit the nearby movie theaters to watch the wine off.Lots of great places to eat nearby so you can make it a full date.I suggest bringing those little box wines that are about the size of a single serving carton of milk. That way you dont have to mess with glasses.Also be sure to wear clothes you dont mind getting paint on. The paint is permanent once it dries!

Awesome place. We had a blast. The BYOB was with it. Only reason 4 and not 5 star is because they had 2 staff members sitting in their butts on the back counter instead if walking around and helping. One looked completely miserable to be there.
