Studio Protocol & Logistics

  • Materials: All professional artist pigments, brushes, custom palettes, and heavy-duty field easels are provided entirely by the house. Patrons are welcome to bring personal sketchbooks, though studio rates remain fixed.
  • Atmospheric Adaptations (Weather): Open-air sessions are entirely dependent on local elements. Should conditions prove hostile to paint application, the session will seamlessly pivot to sheltered architectural spaces (historic arcades, covered terraces) or be rescheduled at no additional cost.
  • Cancellations & Retainers: To secure a date on the studio calendar, private sessions require a fifty percent retainer, while group sessions are settled in full upon booking. Cancellations received forty-eight hours in advance will receive a full refund; later alerts are subject to partial house credits.
  • Settlement: All session accounts are managed securely via direct digital house invoice. We do not accept casual retail payment platforms at our tables.
  • Sensory Additions: Select extended sessions may be paired with curated, non-alcoholic refreshments or artisanal provisions designed to mirror the culinary landscape of the season. Please note any preferences during your initial inquiry.
  • The Chelsea & UES Gallery Walks: On select Thursday sessions, painters may receive an invitation to a post-instruction archival gallery walk through Chelsea or the Upper East Side. These curated viewings act as an intellectual extension of our studio work, contextualizing our field observations within historic and contemporary art movements.
