Discovering your Artistic Talent One Brush Stroke at a Time

As an artist, sometimes you need a little push to get your creative juices flowing. There might be days when you don't feel like painting or drawing, but the desire to make something new will always be there. 

Therefore, eventually, there will come a time where visual artists will no longer resist the urge to pick up a pencil or paintbrush.

The ultimate goal of U Paint Studio is to ignite the urge of artists to create and encourage those who have yet to discover their artistic talents.

U Paint Studio Igniting Its Owner’s ‘Burning Desire’

According to Vilma Mirkov, the concept of their art studio began with a certain burning desire to do something. Mirkov, the owner and operator of U Paint, and her husband opened the studio to the public on September 15, 2020.

Before that, she took a paint and sip class with her husband, “And then once I got that desire, all roads pointed in this direction, and there was no looking back. So, I was just very excited,” says Mirkov.

Not to mention, Mirkov’s successful career in retail management sealed the deal.

Additionally, Mirkov had a background in design, illustration, and rendering. She learned to use art tools including pencil, watercolor, and acrylic through digital media. Following that original paint and sip class, ‘something alive came out of her.’ 

And just like that, U Paint Studio was born, and everything made sense.

Art Studio Amidst the Pandemic

Although the business started in the middle of a global pandemic, U Paint studio opened as restaurants gradually became operational. They ensured to maintain safety by seating four people at each table six feet apart from one another. The studio had to occupy 25% of its capacity at the time, but they always had customers who could not wait to get out again. 

Mirkov says that opening at a slower pace helped her connect with their customers more intimately, which is the idea behind the vision of U Paint: “I'm super happy making people happy. I'm in the business of giving people joy. You have somebody who comes to do a session, and they are worried, and then they tell you, ‘I couldn't believe that I could paint something like this.’ That's when you feel like you're making a difference.”

Painting studios are always ideal for birthday parties, holidays, and even intimate family events. It offers a chance for attendees to get to know one another and express themselves artistically. 

The design of the U Paint Studio appeals for birthday parties, especially making Mirkov think of implementing things to paint accessible to people regardless of their age.

Many people are self-conscious about their creative prowess and believe they cannot produce a great work of art. Fortunately, everyone can participate in paint and sip workshops since the design and instruction accommodate all skill levels. 

Each stage of the procedure gets explained carefully and gets presented in a gentle, supportive manner. This teaching approach ensures students feel a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence as they finish their work.

How Painting Studios Work

It is common for people to be self-conscious about their artistic abilities and believe that they cannot produce anything noteworthy. Painting studios refute this notion by being accessible to individuals of all creative abilities and skill levels. 

Taking a class at U Paint studio is designed for everyone to enjoy them. Many times, after completing a painting, students get overcome with a sense of pride and self-assurance.

U Paint Studio offers a discounted package for individuals that intend to paint for only 2 hours. They have the freedom to choose their project while enjoying a cup of whatever they fancy. Coffee and tea are favorites for morning sessions, while many students prefer their favorite adult beverage during evening classes.

Mirkov adds that you can utilize this package for any $39 session, which offers a lot of freedom for her clients: “When you buy the packages, you're buying eight sessions, and you can use it towards any $39 session, or you could use it towards the morning session, which is from ten to 12, and that's offered on Wednesdays and as well as Tuesdays.”

Attending these sessions may help you figure out your passion as an aspiring artist. Therefore, this creative form of expression is ideal for art students or a parent who wants to provide their child with a beautiful, creative learning experience. 

People who paint tend to reach a state of deep concentration where they can pass the time without even realizing it. Therefore, it is important to note that the studio does not take walk-ins but can be flexible with the allotted schedule. All the projects that are currently available to customers are readily available on their website.

However, if you have something special in mind, just ask, and Mirkov will do whatever she can to help your artistic vision become a real work of art.
