Creating a masterwork of art can be like wandering through a maze: after a lengthy period of reflection and contemplation, you’ll still probably starve. Appreciate the figurative risks and transcendent joys of artistic creativity with today’s Groupon to Paint Party Studios. Choose between the following options:

• For $17, you get a two-hour BYOB painting class (up to a $35 value)
• For $99, you get a 15-person, 1.5-hour private painting party (a $200 value)

Paint Party Studios encourages prospective Picassos and promising Pollocks to express themselves within a colorful, relaxed environment. Skilled painting professionals, with backgrounds in education and graphic design, guide rookie pigment pushers through the creative process, like nomads leading lost travelers through the expanses of a shopping mall. Begin by picking a pre-sketched canvas, and then allow liquid inspiration to guide your brush. Afterward students can bring home their masterpieces to hang on a wall, decorate a mantel, or strap to a neighbor's dog. Guests are encouraged to bring their own beverages and snacks, and Paint Party will supply cups, aprons, paints, and canvas.

Paint Party Studio's multihued walls, ripe with a plethora of handsome artworks, embrace painters of all ages and levels of experience. Cowboys of the open canvas are encouraged to arrive 30 minutes early to prepare their painting station, chill their wine, and imagine themselves with one ear.
