About us
Explore an Oakland studio where guided urban sketching meets a relaxed paint-and-sip experience.
A Studio for Seeing Differently
Oak & Ink Studio brings urban sketching and paint-and-sip together in an Oakland studio setting. Guided sessions invite you to slow down, notice the lines and colors around you, and turn observation into a drawing or painting. Whether you are new to art or already enjoy making it, you can settle in and create at your own pace.
The studio pairs thoughtful instruction with a social, unhurried atmosphere. Come for a creative outing, build confidence with a sketchbook, or gather with others for a shared art experience. Each session offers a chance to engage with the city through art and leave with work that reflects your own point of view.
