Paint:lab

Paint:lab is an art studio on 14th Street in Santa Monica that operates both as an open painting studio and as a guided workshop space, offering two-hour instructor-led classes alongside regular drop-in sessions. The studio provides all materials including paint, brushes, canvas, and an easel so you only need to show up, and workshops cover specific techniques rather than just following a step-by-step painting together like a paint-and-sip format. The space has a relaxed, neighborhood feel and attracts a mix of people who paint regularly and people who want to start.
