Skip the Usual: Try This One-of-a-Kind Art Studio Near Houston

It started like most nights do—someone wanted to make plans, but no one could agree. Someone said the usual bar, someone else threw out dinner, and then came the suggestion: “What about that paint place where you paint your own selfie?”

And just like that, Aupreez made the group chat.

Based in Pearland, Aupreez is where creative fun meets real connection. This isn’t your typical paint and sip where everyone copies the same flower or skyline. Here, you’re painting something personal that means something to you.

How It Works

When you arrive at the studio, using the Aupreez app, you’ll take a quick picture, or select one you’ve previously uploaded prior to arriving, to use to create your artwork.

Once you’ve finalized your image, our team will assist you with tracing the image onto your canvas. Then it’s time to paint. You’ll add color, shading, and detail, all at your own pace. It’s not instant, and it’s not hands-off. You’ll be involved in every part of the process—and that’s what makes it feel so good.

Each session runs for four hours. That gives you the time to really focus, get into it, and enjoy the creative flow. Bring your favorite wine or non-alcoholic drink, settle in, and get ready to make something that’s all yours.

Yes, we’ll encourage you to stay in the lines. And yes, you’ll be glad you did.

Why It Feels Different

Search for "art studio near me" and you’ll probably find a bunch of classes or galleries that feel a little too formal. Aupreez is casual, friendly, and easy to step into—even if you haven’t painted since elementary school.
