Not every small city has its own dedicated art studio, but Tustin is lucky enough to be home to Brushstrokes on W Main Street. Hobbyists and professionals alike can sign up for two-hour classes where an instructor goes over how to create a pre-selected painting stroke by stroke. More than enough allowance is made for creativity, however, and visitors are encouraged to add their own touches to their original works. The atmosphere is as casual and flexible as the instruction, with fun music playing and students encouraged to talk to the staff and each other. There are summer camps and classes for children as well as more general open sessions with the pre-selected painting available online so that those interested can choose one they like. The art supplies are student grade and the employees are on hand always to swap out brushes or paints. Bring your own snacks and beverages and be ready to get a little messy and have some fun.
