Setting up shop in venues all over the city, Tip Z Art hosts painting parties at neighborhood restaurants and bars. Encouraging attendees to explore their creativity, instructors let sessions breathe at about two hours each during which participants follow along with step-by-step instructions for creating the featured painting. Venues often give out specials for Tip Z Art students, who can sip on wine, snack on appetizers, or enjoy desserts as a way to reward themselves on the accomplishment of not getting paint in their hair.
