Watercolor & Wine Painting Parties

Invite at least 6 friends, buy a couple of bottles of wine, grab a room (restaurant, home, office, etc), and be ready to have a fantastic evening painting a small painting. I supply all the painting materials and the step-by-step personal instruction to complete your own watercolor painting.

There is room for personal expression in my guided parties. If you notice the final group shots below, you will see that most people bring their personality into their work, as the paintings differ from mine and their friends.

Two hours=completed painting for every person. $40 per person.
