Anyone looking for a great idea for a bachelorette or bachelor party idea in the Milwaukee area shouldn’t miss Splash Studio in the Third Ward. Splash Studio is a painting bar; which means gives lessons on painting AND lets you drink at the same time (which can make your painting really interesting if you aren’t careful).

Jessica and I have gone to Splash Studio twice now and have had a great time. Neither of us is a painter and we’ve had such a fun time we can’t wait to go back for more. I’ve actually always been afraid of painting because I was so bad at it. The instructor really helps and makes it easy and very fun.

They have growing library of paintings you can choose from to learn (some for each level and style), including a 3D painting and a glow in the dark painting. And you have complete freedom to make the painting unique to you, which is one of the things I love about their setup.

It’s great for a date night for sure and because they do private events it’s perfect for a night out with the girls or guys; a wonderful memory to share with your wedding party.

Here’s a few shots from our two visits so far (from my X100 and iPhone). If you go, I want to see a photo of your paintings!

I love to travel and am very thankful for a job that allows me to do just that. I was back in California last month for an engagement session, a beloved session, some meetings with new friends, a visit to the Taylor Guitar factory, and a bunch of landscape shooting. I love it.

If you haven’t already seen the news, I’m now selling my landscape work AND next week am giving away a large canvas to celebrate. Just sign up for my newsletter to be entered to win that canvas.

Here’s a random collection of shots from the trip. Enjoy!
