Art can express a variety of human feelings, from joy at the birth of a child to confusion at the birth of a man-child. Eloquently articulate your emotions with today's Groupon: for $22, you get an artist-guided painting class at Whimsy Paint & Sip Art Studio in historic downtown Erie, approximately 15 miles east of Boulder (up to a $45 value).

At Whimsy Paint & Sip, art lovers of all ages and experience levels can spend time in Picasso's disproportionate shoes, painting and pairing their artistic efforts with a menu of cocktails, glasses of wine, or nonalcoholic beverages (not included in the value of this Groupon). Creative treks commence with the selection of an easy-to-paint canvas masterpiece from the shop's calendar of options, which includes a plethora of natural and whimsical options alongside classics such as Monet's Bridge Over Water Lilies and Van Gogh's Sunflowers. The events take place under the palette-primed eye of one of Whimsy’s professional artists, who leads broods of brushers through each stroke, all over the inspirational din of funky tunes. The studio provides all supplies including canvas, paints, brushes, aprons, and an easel. When the paint clears, each former finger-painter will have a wall-ready piece, lending a more personal touch to any bare foyer, lifeless living room, or soulless meat locker.

Though Whimsy Paint & Sip Art Studio sometimes features a discount price, this Groupon still represents the best deal available.
