While stuck at home, my roommate and I have constantly been finding new ways to “hangout” and entertain ourselves. This idea is actually just a knock off of a business thats already been made. Its painting a picture and drinking wine! I think one of the most popular businesses that offer this service is Painting with a Twist. We tried it at home for the first time the other night and it was so fun, and best of all free!
First, we went to Walmart and picked out a decent size canvas, a pack of different colored acrylic paint, and a pack of different paint brushes! It was all under about $15!
Next, you’ll want to pick up some wine at the store. Pick any size, brand, and kind that you want! My suggestion is a good Pinot Grigio or a Rose.
Then, look on Youtube and find a good step-by-step painting tutorial that fits your experience and skill level. Look for a while, don’t just pick the first one! My favorites are sunset or flower paintings.
Finally, drink your wine and paint! Don’t take it too seriously, the great thing about acrylic paint is you can paint over mistakes and try again.
This is a super fun idea to do at home, but the great thing is that once quarantine is over theres a place you can go to visit and do it as well! Painting with a Twist is a great option, as well as Pinots Palette. Both are located in Little Rock!
