If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen that on Friday, I met up with a bunch of bloggers at
which is basically a dream for anyone that likes wine, socializing, and/or painting (whether you have the talent or not). I was a tiny bit hesitant about the whole thing because stick figures are about as creative as I get. In fact, I've never painted on canvas in my life. Luckily, we had a great instructor, Jeff, who broke it down in tiny manageable steps even I could handle.

Marie from 12 Signs Wine provided twelve different kinds of wine based on the Zodiac signs. You can actually host your own wine party and they'll provide the wine, and personal astrology readings.
Sounds like a fun Girls' Night in to me!

| I'm a Cancer so I was a Pinot Noir, fancy! |
And of course this group of girls knows how to eat...
After eating and chatting, it was time for class to begin. Everyone grabbed their glass(es) of wine and sat down at a blank canvas. Paint N' Vineyard provides the canvas, paint, apron and all of the brushes.
Jeff led the group step-by-step and if we were having a bit of trouble, he stepped in to help.

On the left is the instructor's painting and on the right is mine. I struggled with making the waves breaking look realistic. Also, my palm tree kind of resembles The Lorax.
We really had the best time and I highly, highly recommend Paint N' Vineyard. It would be a fun class to take with your boyfriend, husband, or a group of girls! :-)

I had sooo much fun Friday night, thanks so much for coming!
P.S. You got so many great pictures! What lens are you using
My goodness! What a FUN night! We have something called Sip n' Strokes here in our area...I've been dying to do it! Your painting turned out amazing!! :)
Sounds like such a fun thing to do. I used to love drawing and haven't been in far too long, makes me want to get back into it.
How funnnn!
Is it expensive?
And where was my invite?? ;)
What a great idea, this looks too fun, I am seriously impressed by those painting, you are practically Bob Ross, remember that guy on that weird channel with the afro that was SO good at painting! Anyways such a fun weekend idea, looks relaxing and delicious!
so great to finally meet up with you! as usual, you got some GREAT shots girl!
can't wait to meet up again!
how cool!! what a fun evening with bloggers and i love the shirt you are wearing amira so cute on you
That looks like so much fun!! And your painting looks great.
this looks like so much fun!!
This would be so fun. My painting would come out looking like a bunch of blobs because I am that talented with art but I would have fun trying!
We have something in Ohio called Cheers to Art that I've been to a handful of times that looks very similar. What's better than wine and pretending to be an artist with your girlfriends? Did you find a spot to hang your painting??
hi amira!! we didn't formally meet @ the event, but i was there. definitely a SUPER FUN night! i was so impressed with my painting. i never thought i could replicate it, so i was equally relieved when jeff broke everything down for us in baby steps. i had a blast & i love all the photos you got from the night! i look forward to meeting you at another event :)
This looks like a ton of fun, I'm bummed I missed it this time around :( I hope to see you at the next event!

This looks so fun! I was just in Vancouver, Canada last week and stopped in at this bar called "Raw Canvas". Half of the bar is seating and the other half is an art studio, where you can buy a canvas and pay to use their supplies and space while enjoying stuff from the bar! So fun, and you did a freaking awesome job. I love painting, but I'm miserable at it.

oooh your tree does look like it's from the lorax! i like yours because it looks more whimsical than the instructor's. And you got some great shots from that night! I'm especially loving that first one with the decor. And of course the food...but i mean, come on, that's automatically a given.
SO jealous!!! Looks like WAY TOO MUCH FUN!!! Thanks for sharing girl!
How much fun is that!!!!! So awesome to combine friends, art, and good eats. Thanks for sharing!
