The Painted Lyon, Tulsa

From some funky trees to a cool, rainy night, visitors to The Painted Lyon bring a whole variety of worlds to life with bright paints and brushes—and a little help from the bar's libations. During paint-and-sip classes, instructors teach students how to re-create paintings. They walk them step-by-step through the painting process while budding Monets sip beer, wine, or complimentary water.

Alternatively, visitors can drop by any time the studio is open to grab a drink and a small canvas from the Paint Bar. They can paint a work preselected by the studio or create whatever they'd like without worrying about time constraints or art teachers telling them that trees can't be hot pink.
