Celia was knowledgeable and encouraging! My only criticism would be that the table was a bit small and cramped. It also would have been helpful to have a finished product on display while Celia directed us. We had fun!!

What painting techniques and skills will I master?
Part art class, part social engagement, paint and sip events are a great way to level up your art skills in a stress-free environment. You’ll get familiar with the basics like brushstrokes, blending and layering before trying out more involved techniques like highlights and shadows, balance and proportion as well as perspective drawing. If you like to express your emotions creatively, you’ll also learn about freestyle painting and figurative art. Acrylic painting tactics like texture and impasto techniques, glazing and washes are also taught during wine and paint classes.

What types of paint and sip events can I choose from?
An evening at a paint bar is essentially a choose-your-own-adventure type of experience. If you’re set on painting a specific scene such as a city skyline, there’s a class for you. You can also find classes that let you BYOB, try out different mediums like acrylic and watercolor and even paint a wine glass or tote bag. Seasonal events are offered throughout the year, and private sessions can be booked if you need a more intimate setting.
Where do the experiences take place?
Artsy neighborhoods like Logan Circle, Adams Morgan and U Street Corridor are where most paint and sip experiences take place because their spirited energies fit well with the creative nature of the events.

Maps can be found on the class page for each experience, so you can easily discover a paint and sip studio near you.
What should I wear to a paint and sip event?
The best paint and sip events are energetic and spirited, which means things could get a little messy at times. With that said, you should wear something you don’t mind getting paint on, although smocks or aprons are typically provided. You’ll want to dress comfortably so your clothing doesn’t inhibit your painting ability. Removable layers are a good idea because studios can get warm with everyone moving around the room. Closed-toed shoes aren’t required, but they’re a good idea just in case of spills.
How do paint and sip events work?
Whether you want to attend a more casual art and drinks event or enjoy a paint night at an upscale venue, it’s easy to find a class that fits your needs. Just scroll through the class listings until you find a time, date and location that works for you.

You’ll spend the evening sipping wine, socializing and working on your painting at a leisurely pace as you enjoy a fun night of creative expression.
How long are these events?
