Why This Summer Is the Perfect Time to Paint with Us?

Summer is here, and with it comes sunshine, longer days, and the perfect excuse to try something new. At A Stroke of Genius in downtown Waukesha, we believe creativity thrives in community—and there’s no better time to dive into art than during these carefree summer months. Whether you're looking to unwind, reconnect, or just have a blast with your favorite people, here are a few great reasons to paint with us this season:

1. Put Down the Phone, Pick Up a Brush

We all need a break from screen time. Instead of endlessly scrolling this summer, why not create something real with your hands? Our painting classes offer a chance to unplug and be fully present. No distractions—just paint, a glass of wine if you like, and a good time.

2. Try a New Hobby Without the Pressure

Always wanted to paint but felt intimidated? You're not alone—and you're in the right place. Our studio is built around being approachable, beginner-friendly, and fun. Summer is the ideal time to explore new interests without the busyness of school schedules or the stress of New Year’s resolutions. Let our friendly instructors guide you step-by-step through beautiful summer-themed paintings. You’ll be amazed by what you can create.

3. Reconnect with Your Creative Side

It's easy to lose touch with your creativity during the hustle of the year. Let this summer be the season you return to yourself. Painting is more than just putting colors on a canvas—it’s a way to relax, de-stress, and express who you are. Come let your imagination breathe again.

4. Refresh Your Space with Summer Vibes

Tired of staring at the same four walls? Take home something fresh and sunny. Our summer painting themes are bursting with bright colors, beachy scenes, florals, and warm-weather magic. Whether you join a class or come during open paint hours, you’ll leave with a custom piece perfect for sprucing up your space.

5. Spend Real Time with Friends and Family

Dinner and a movie are great, but how about doing something truly interactive this summer? Painting together is a great way to laugh, talk, and make lasting memories. Whether you're coming with your kids, your partner, or your besties, it’s a shared experience you'll all remember—and you'll each take home your own masterpiece as a keepsake.

6. We Make It Easy and Fun Every Weekend

Every weekend, we offer a curated selection of step-by-step painting classes, so you can learn from our talented instructors in a laid-back setting. If you prefer more freedom, check out our Open Paint times, where you choose any design from our gallery and create it with light guidance from our staff. It’s flexible, fun, and perfect for all ages.

7. Support Local and Feed Your Soul

When you paint with us, you're not only trying something new—you’re supporting a local Waukesha small business that believes in building community through art. We love what we do, and we love sharing that joy with you.
