Who are these paint and sip events suitable for?
If you love good company, creative vibes and enjoying a glass of wine (or two), a paint and sip night is for you. These paint night events are all about enjoying a bit of laid-back fun, whether you're celebrating a birthday, going out with a date or just need a new place to hang out with your friends. Come for the art, stay for the laughs and leave with a new favorite hobby.
What should I expect during a typical event?
Think of a paint and sip event as the easiest way to tap into your creative side without the pressure of being “good” at art. You’ll be handed all the supplies you need and guided by a pro who breaks everything down step by step. You’ll sip, paint, chat and probably laugh at how your masterpiece is turning out. It’s a relaxed, no-judgment zone where the goal is to have fun, not create a museum-worthy piece.
What painting techniques and skills will I master?
You’ll start with the basics; how to hold a brush, create smooth strokes and layer colors. Then, you’ll get into color mixing and learn how to craft your own shades and bring depth to your artwork with highlights and shadows. The composition and perspective part of the class will help you structure your painting so everything looks intentional and you’ll also get a taste of abstract and expressive techniques. Most importantly, you’ll gain confidence and realize that painting is just as much about fun as it is about skill.
What are the benefits of booking a paint and sip experience?
A paint and sip experience is a hands-on way to de-stress and try something new while enjoying good music, great company and a glass of wine. If you enjoy looking at watercolor paintings and wonder how to create beautiful blending effects, you’ll enjoy the benefit of having an expert instructor show you how. Plus, it’s a great excuse to catch up with friends or celebrate a special occasion in a way that’s both fun and unique.
What types of paint and sip events can I choose from?
Paint and sip classes aren’t one-size-fits-all and there’s an event for everyone. If you prefer having a step-by-step painting guide, you can pick a paint and drink session that allows you to recreate a city skyline, floral still life or abstract design. If you’re feeling festive, go for a seasonal event, and if you want to try something totally different, some studios swap the canvas for tote bags, wood signs or even wine glasses. And if you like a little extra indulgence with your art, check out a BYOB night or a wine and cheese pairing. You can even book a private event for team building or a bachelorette party!
Where do the experiences take place?
The experience usually happens at cool, off-the-beaten-path venues around town. Think art galleries, interesting studio spaces, a local paint bar near you or even private spots for a more intimate vibe. The instructor brings all the supplies you need, from the canvas to the paint and everything in between, so you can lock in on enjoying yourself. If you're in Las Vegas, expect to find these events in places like the Arts District or the Fremont East area, as well as areas like Summerlin or Downtown. You can always check out the class page for a detailed map and see if there’s a paint and sip studio just around the corner.
What should I wear to a paint and sip event?
While the desert heat might tempt you to go full party mode, keep it practical with breathable, loose-fitting clothes that'll keep you comfortable in the often air-conditioned studios. This means skipping the clubbing outfit and opting for something casual chic instead, like a cute but comfy top and your favorite broken-in jeans or palazzo pants. You’ll also want to save your casino-hopping heels for later and opt for comfy closed-toe shoes instead. The goal is to be comfortable enough to create your masterpiece while still looking cute enough for those inevitable Instagram stories.
How do paint and sip events work?
The best paint and sip classes usually start with browsing through the event listings, picking your favorite painting and choosing a date, time and location that works for you. Once you’re booked, just show up and get ready to have fun. All the materials you need are already set up for you, including the canvas, brushes, paints and even an apron. An expert instructor will guide you step-by-step as you sip wine and paint and chat with friends. In the end, you’ll walk away with your own piece of art.
How long are these events?
Expect to spend about two to three hours at a paint and sip event, because good art (and good drinks) shouldn’t be rushed. Since it’s all about relaxation, you’ll have plenty of time to sip, chat and snap a few aesthetic pics between brushstrokes. The instructor moves at an easy pace, too, making sure everyone can follow along while still enjoying the moment. Think of it as part painting class and part happy hour all rolled into one fun package.
