SANTA MONICA (CBSLA.com) —Looking for a cheap place to take a date? How about a cozy art studio close to the ocean?

Paint:Lab in Santa Monica is the perfect spot to get creative with a significant other in an affordable way.

“They can hang out and just have fun and spend some time together… and create a piece of artwork together and have something to take away at the end of the evening,” said art instructor, Lisa Miccio.

The gallery offers three hours of painting for $30 a person. Brushes, paint and canvas are all included in the deal.

“This is the first time I’ve seen a lab where you can come in and use the paint…don’t have to bring your trolley with you,” said Evon Brys.

Paint:Lab also has complimentary wine, cheese and chocolates.
