In the Painting Lounge’s BYOB workshops, students work with brush and canvas and sip on alcoholic creativity aids brought from home, re-creating classic artworks in a casual learning environment that suits first-timers and experienced paint slingers alike. Instructors provide aspiring Picassos with paints, canvases, brushes, easels, aprons, and step-by-step guidance, helping them to complete the evening’s featured painting and avoid common painting mistakes, such as adding excessive wrinkles to faces or wearing overly tight berets while painting. No setup or cleanup is necessary, and students may bring alcohol to the class to stimulate creativity and group bonding. Doors open 20 minutes before the start of class, and participants must arrive by the start time listed on the calendar to keep up with instruction.
