What Is Drink And Paint New York

By Allyson Burke


If you are looking for a fun night out where you can leave the kids behind for awhile, then you may want to consider trying a drink and paint New York class. It is a fun way to do something you may not normally do while having a drink or two. You also get a keepsake to take home that can be used to decorate your walls.

Each class is comprised of one skilled artist who acts as the teacher and a group of people who bring a bottle of wine or other drink and paint a picture according to the artist's instructions. This replica painting is yours to take home at the end of the session, as well as any leftover wine you might have from the periodic breaks you get to imbibe.

These classes are a lot of fun, but some people avoid them like the plague because they think you have to already know how to paint. This is actually untrue; anyone with any painting skill level, or even no skill level, can join in the fun. The teacher who leads the class is a skilled artist who breaks the painting down, making it easy for you to recreate on your canvas.

The vast majority of these classes require you to bring your own bottle of wine or other drink and perhaps an optional snack as refreshment. A few proprietors may have alcohol available, but in all likelihood you have to bring your own. You can also share with others who might share with you in turn, which introduces you to new people and ups the fun factor.

The bottle you want to drink is the only thing you really need to bring with you, since all the art supplies will be provided for you. This means the paints, brushes, and event the canvas you get to take home will all be provided and ready for you when you arrive. No stopping at a craft or art supply store, which saves you a lot of time and confusion.

There is usually a group that will include you and your party, plus a few other groups of people as well. The size of the class can vary quite a bit depending on the popularity of the painting and the time and day. Weekend classes tend to fill up faster than weekday ones, so keep that in mind when you book your class.

If you don't like the idea of having strangers or you simply have a very large group, you may be able to book your own private session. Ask the owner if they have private sessions, and if there is a discount depending on how many people you might bring. Lots of places offer specials and are happy to accommodate a private group.

For a fun way to spend a few hours that you may not have experienced before, try a drink and paint New York class. You can invite coworkers, family, friends or all of the above to have a great time. You get to sip some wine, create a painting, and take it home to adorn your wall forevermore.
