Paint & Jrink, New Orleans

You can go to a Paint & Jrink event, drink only water, and gravely learn some new brushstrokes—but almost no one does. Instead, most attendees take the studio up on its open invitation to BYOB and BYO snacks. The result? Festive gatherings during which an instructor walks groups through creating a painting like these. With subjects from purses to the New Orleans skyline, they're beginner-friendly fun to paint, especially with a glass of wine in hand.
