Create an original canvas customized to fit into an oven door or inner shoe with today's Groupon: $20 for a two-hour, all-inclusive wining and painting session at Sipping n' Painting (a $40 value). Harkening back to the days of paint-smeared smocks and after-school snacks, the creative studio invites artists of all skill sets to put their emotions and energy on canvas.
Anyone who has ever enrolled in a class only to wind up the sole stick-figure drawer in a sea of Seurats knows that public displays of talent can be intimidating. Sipping n' Painting's cheerful and encouraging instructors cater to easel enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels; they're on-site to provide step-by-step artistic advice for students. The laid-back classes include all the requisite supplies (canvases, paint, brushes, easels, aprons, light snacks, and beverages to jog creative juices). Wine is provided and included, so don't BYOB.
Round up painterly pals, sign up, come to the studio with an idea, and take home a new wall adornment. The studio is located on Grant Street in the historic Grant Avenue Community Center and offers complimentary parking. Aspiring artists must be 21 years of age to participate in classes.
