About
A Thursday-evening session in The Studio at SAM, the museum's hands-on art room, where visitors sit down at shared tables to paint and draw. It runs 4–8pm at the Seattle Art Museum, 1300 First Ave (Symphony Station on the 1 Line); the listing does not publish a price. Entertaining Evenings recur on 5 and 19 November and 3 and 17 December.

New to painting?
Painting and drawing classes run from relaxed one-night sessions that guide you to a finished canvas to multi-week courses in watercolour, oils, figure drawing or illustration.
- Guided one-night classes suit groups and first-timers; courses suit people who want to improve.
- Figure-drawing sessions use a live model and are usually for adults only.
- Materials are usually included in one-off classes; courses often send a supply list.
Taking it home: The same day, though acrylic and oil may need a few hours to dry before they travel well.
