Brooklyn’s Art Workshop Paints in Red Hook

Red Hook brushed last night with Brooklyn’s Art Workshop, coloring NYC’s spring. Painter Jay Patel taught 40 to stroke canvases, a $15 class at a pier shed. It’s borough hues—pure BK vibe, brushes hot. A kid smeared blue; a pro framed a scene. ‘Brooklyn arts—this is it,’ Patel says, mixing oils. The shed turned studio.

The shop’s fresh—March 20’s kickoff, it tripled since RSVPs, packing easels by 6 p.m. Patel’s a Gowanus brush; last night’s crowd hit max—paint flew. A latecomer nabbed a spot; turpentine wafted—NYC grit glowed. Works went home—art ruled. #RedHookArt trended; Queens wants a palette.

Some griped—’Too messy,’ sniped a newbie, dodging splats. Space squeezed—latecomers stood; craft held. A brush snapped—fixed quick; work rolled. Manhattan wants in, but Red Hook owns it—strokes rule. The shed’s never painted so bold.

Patel’s teasing a monthly run, maybe outdoors if spring bites. ‘NYC’s canvas—this fills it,’ he says, packing tubes. The shop’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets hue. It’s an art fix; join the next. Bring a smock—paint calls.
