I'm not sure if this concept is familiar throughout the country, but I'm certain it will be soon. It's a brilliant idea started by two women. You don't have to have any creative talents, but you will leave their studio, after just two hours, with a masterpiece. You bring your own wine, your own snacks, and they provide the cups, the corkscrew and a fun experience with instruction.
As soon as we checked in, they gave us tiny bags of candy hearts. There were many couples there, but the experience still felt intimate. Since it was Valentine's Day they provided free champagne and miniature desserts. The best part is they have everything set up for you. You just sit in front of your easel with canvas, you have all your paints already on a plate, your brushes are set up, and you have water in a vase.
The event we were specifically there for was Valentine's Day Date Night, where each couple would be painting each other in the style of Picasso. I love the suspense of not knowing how you will turn out until the reveal at the end.
They had a playlist of all love songs, and they gave great instructions. It was so laid back and easy. Their second rule was, "2. Don't accidentally stick your brush in your wine." We started with a simple sketch, and then they instructed on ideas for face shape, eyes, nose, mouth, hair, background quadrants, etc. Here is what we came up with:
I love how they turned out, and it is such a unique way to make your own art for your home.
They gave each lady a rose, which I thought was a nice final touch.
This was so, so fun.
Then it was off to a new to us sushi place downtown, Sono. Delicious!
The night ended being one of my favorites! Here's my VDay display:
Thank you to Hank for going the extra mile to make this day perfect. I felt so special all day, and I'm undeniably thankful for this.
