Finding Fun Wine And Painting Classes In The Mile High City

By Serena Price


A very popular event that is taking the nation by storm is the fun wine and painting classes that are held in many different venues. There are any number being held on most nights in the Denver, CO area and they are usually filled up each time they are scheduled. Many of these are hosted by a bar or tavern and some of them will be in art studios designed specifically for these parties.

Taking a few hours of friendly conversation, creativity and camaraderie with others who would like to try this out is a good time for all. Finding out about the parties offered in bars is as easy as checking the announcements posted on the premises. You can check the dates and times and sign up for a seat as they do fill up fairly quickly.

The studios, of which there are many in the Golden and Denver, CO area, provide the perfect experience for those who would like to try something they have not attempted before. All of them have websites and registration is requested on line. There is a complete frequently asked question section and videos are available to watch some of the fun before you attend.

An evening of drinking and painting will include everything that is needed for both. These are not bring your own bottle type of classes as the legal issues restrict this. Some of these parties, held in private homes do not have this restriction. Wine, beer, soft drinks and, in many cases, harder beverages and mixed drinks will be provided. The entry fee, which is very reasonable, will include the first drink or two and the rest is up to you at moderate rates.

Painting supplies provided will include the easel, canvass, paints, brushes and the most important part of the two to three hour evening. That part is the local artist that will serve as master of ceremony and instructor. Each party will have an artist, most of them coming from the Denver, CO area, that will have their own unique way of seeing things.

Each artist will bring with them a piece of work in their genre. By attending a large number of these classes, the interested enthusiast will see many types of art. The artist of the evening may be into surrealistic renderings or very realistic images of scenes or people. They might take the class into still life or portraiture. The name of the artist and their genre will be listed on any announcements about the class so plans can be made.

Artists will spend a few minutes talking about the basics of their field and then get into creating the canvass for the evening. This is a way to understand a little more about them, their art and how each brush stroke, or lack of it, affects the piece everyone will work on together. Most people have a wonderful time even if they had not thought about this type of hobby before.

Fun wine and painting classes in Denver, CO are a must even if you only try it once. Getting a few people together to drink, have fun, create something and share the experience with others can be addicting. The friends you meet and the number of them that might join you next time can continue to grow into a community of artists ready for the next phase of enjoyment.
