Each year our group of 14 ladies do a craft as our souvenir of our Destin trip. This year we painted beautiful beach scenes. Painting actually while ON the beach certainly gives lots of inspiration for the artwork. My completed painting is now hanging in the living room of the Beach House of Stress Relief, 91 Matthew Blvd, Destin, FL 32541 or www.beachhouseofstressrelief.com

We have painted with Studio By The Sea for the last several years. It is our girls' day on our annual family trip. The first time the nieces went with us they were 8, 10, 12, and had a blast. Relaxing atmosphere with incredible instructors who help as needed, but really just want you to have a good time. We have BYOB'd as well as purchased drinks from Pompano Joe's throughout the years. So much fun and the best part is taking home your painting to remember your class and vacation.

Awesome instructors!! Talented instructors who were very flexible in what you would like to paint. Very professional! Painting is done by the beach if weather is not permitting under the Pompano Joe’s restaurant. If weather is cooperative, painting is done directly on the beach!! Instructors were very accommodating, helping where needed and taking beach photos of our group! You can buy drinks from the upstairs or downstairs bar, bring your own music!! Again very accommodating staff!! Thanks Studio by the Sea for such a great relaxing painting experience for our Sorority Anniversary!! Accommodated 20 of us with an extra staff member on hand. Great prices!! Check them out!!

Our group of 11 women painted with Loretta on the beach! We got to select which painting we'd like to attempt (lol), sat under the patio at Pompano Joe's in a little secluded area with nothing but us and the view of the ocean and sound of the waves. We were all happy with our creations and Loretta gave instructions that were easy to follow. We had a lot of fun and were able to catch drinks and dinner at Pompano Joe's afterwards. This was also easy to set up- which is hard to say when you're trying to plan events for more than 10 people. The folks at Studio by the Sea are lovely.

This was my 2nd time to take a painting class. The first one being inside a building. I so enjoyed being outdoors next to the ocean while painting a picture of the ocean. So neat! It was pouring down rain during our class, but we were under the restaurant, so we stayed dry and class didn't have to be cancelled. Our instructor was personable and did a good job. I love my keepsake picture that I made. Even though I'm not really an artist, I thought it came out pretty good.

A fun painting class around some picnic tables under a shelter at the beach. Great view of the ocean and Pompano Joe's bar right above for refreshments to enjoy during the class. ANYONE can do these classes....not difficult at all for the novice, and experienced artists have tons of flexibility to make the art work their own. Instructor was sweet and patient and great at giving guidance. You get the fun of learning something new, participating in a fun activity AT THE BEACH, and going home with a finished memento of your visit.

This was my first experience in a painting class. We gathered at Pompano Joes underneath the restaurant at picnic tables right on the beach (shaded). There is a bar right there if you'd like alcohol or non-alcoholic drinks and frozen drinks too. The lady teaching the class is excellent. So helpful! It's a step By step process. And she is patient if you need help. I'm so proud of my painting and I will definitely do this again!! I think the cost is reasonable because she supplies everything!

Amanda did it again! Her patience paid off and our group of 10 ladies painted another equally fun beach scene.

My friend and I were looking to take a painting class, and came across this! It was so much fun, we were both worried our paintings wouldn't turn out, but Amanda was such a sweet, patient instructor, she put us at ease. We had a blast! Also the setting isn't to bad! Right on the beautiful white beach! We will be doing another class! We were pretty excited that our sunset painting looked pretty good too!

We happen to come across Studio by the sea. We are glad we did. It's tucked right under Pompano Joe's and had the perfect amount of shade and the view was gorgeous. Amanda was super sweet and was really patient. We loved it so much we ended up going back the next day! This is a must stop for guys, girls and families while
on vacation!
