Not since the last '80s-night happy hour has there been such a good chance to express your inner self under conditions of mild intoxication. With this Groupon, $20 gets you in to a Friday- or Saturday-night BYOB painting class at the Grapevine location of Painting with a Twist, where you can paint, tipple, and converse in an artfully social atmosphere.
Painting with a Twist adultizes the group art class by pairing expert instruction with the option to sip libations and socialize with other classmates. Check the schedule online to view classes. Each session will teach you how to replicate the featured design (upcoming classes include everything from landscapes of foggy skies to colorful owl creations). A canvas, paints, and brushes are all provided.
Painting with a Twist is perfect for people with artistic aspirations that may feel too intimidated or not know where to start in the creative process. Don’t listen to the voice in your head telling you that you’re not a creative person. That voice is wrong, and this Groupon is the chance to prove it. Under the soothing influence of wine and good company, your boldest visions and most hidden techniques will surface pleasantly on the canvas, like dolphins of the soul peering up curiously at the dazzled onlookers.

One Yelper gives the Dallas branch of Painting with a Twist four stars:
- It's the ultimate combination of the fun I had painting as a kid, plus all that adults love about life: booze. – Kate I.

Inspirational Drinks
History's great artists have all known the secret to producing classic works: become inspired by the freeing effects of alcohol. Here's how a few different drinks can inspire your inner artist:
- Wine: A leisurely sipped glass of wine was a favorite tool of Michelangelo, who used it to refresh himself in between shouting at a block of marble until it turned into a statue. Drinking wine can inspire painting-worthy visions of pastoral fields, gentle streams, and murderous swarms of enlarged bees blotting out the sun in order to influence the price of grain.
- Beer: A cold beer will make you want to put pen to paper and begin writing the great American novel. Here's a tip: Write the story of a protagonist who’s basically just like yourself, but with a tragic backstory that redeems his or her flaws. Writing it on an antique typewriter is just as rewarding as writing something good.
- Scotch: Pair a smooth scotch with some paints, a pre-stretched canvas covered with liquid white, and some Joy of Painting DVDs in order to create a soothing nature scene and to fondly remember your youth, when you were strangely jealous of Bob Ross’s hair.
