Working in social media doesn’t allow me much time to unplug but on the weekends you will find at least one day that I’m nowhere to be found. This year the National Day of Unplugging is March 3rd & 4th and I have the perfect way for you and your friends or you and your partner to disconnect from the world to reconnect, having an old school good time! I grabbed three besties to unplug with wine and paint at Pinot’s Palette. I’ve been hearing about these painting events but truthfully it was the last thing from my mind because I stink at painting artistic pictures unless it’s paint by numbers. 
The Studio
If you think of an artist’s studio, you normally picture walls draped with beautiful art. When you walk into Pinot’s Palette you will spend time soaking in all the beautiful pieces hanging. Long tables with chairs will hold your easels along with brushes, a canvas, paper towels, water (to clean your brushes), and a palette full of beautiful colored paints.
You will find a bar so you can order your beer, wine, or a drink. Great music will be playing and there are cubbies to place all your things. 
Picasso at Work
Like any artist, you will first grab an apron and of course your glass of wine! You will sit with your blank canvas in front of you and on a small stage will be your art instructor. Our instructor, was was amazing, showed us step by step and we learned quickly that there are no mistakes. Each stroke made you more confident as you watched an image appear before your eyes. We encouraged each other while laughing mostly at the amazement we were actually doing it. 
It Was A Fake
Once we completed our masterpiece, we visited each of our paintings one by one comparing the similarities and pointing out the differences. Every one of them looked amazing. This was when we thought our spouses would not believe we actually painted them from a blank white canvas. This was no fake- we created these pieces with our own hands!
When I got home, I placed my treasure in its place on my wall. It’s priceless. We had so much fun at Pinot’s Palette that we’re now planning a group couples painting session. It’s the perfect night to unplug and reconnect! 
Book your night out now!
Who would you take to paint with you?
I love that! We have a similar thing down here in my area, and my girlfriends and I LOVE to go out for a painting/wine girls night.
Our next one will be with couples- we’re dragging the guys!
Oh my gosh, this is so me and my friends. We love a good girls night out, and what’s better than wine and attempting to paint?
I love paint nights. My brother in law teaches them (at a different place) down in NYC and my hubby & I take his class every time we go down there for a visit.
I have been wanting to do something like this. It looks like a lot of fun and a great bonding experience.
What an awesome experience. I love doing things like this with my friends. The painting turned out so well!
I was very surprised and considering I was drinking wine, I’m even more surprised LOL
I want to go next time! Seriously, those look great. I don’t consider myself particularly artistic, but give a little wine I might be able to dig deep and get creative.
And thanks for the tip on unplugging. I was just thinking it would be nice to have my family take a screen break for a little while.
This looks like a great girls night out. I have a few friends who would love this.
It’s definitely a fun experience with your girlfriends. I love that you get to have some wine too!
I was just discussing doing a paint and canvas as a date night with my best friend and her hubby. We think it would not only be fun for us, but hilarious to see what our husbands come up with on the canvas!
I’ve been reading a lot of articles about Pinot’s Palette. I think this is wonderful! I need to get there the soonest. Maybe the husband would be interested to go with me too. BTW, your work of art is beautiful! I hope I can make mine as good as that.
Thanks Annemarie! I’m sure it will be and make sure you tag me so I can see it!
This sounds so much fun! I need to connect with my girlfriends and plan for this! Thanks for sharing!
I have been wanting to do this for a while now. It is a great idea for a girls night. I love how the painting turned out.
This does sound like a nice way to spend an evening. Your painting turned out great!
That looks so much fun! I’m sure I will love this place, it looks you had fun experiences.
Pinot’s Palette is looks like a great way to spend a night out with friends or your spouse and just do something completely different like create a nice painting and keep the reminder!
This looks like it was a lot of fun.
This is such an unique activity – sure looks like you guys had fun!
This does look and sound so fun! I would certainly love to do it with some friends.
I had a girls’ night with my best friends this weekend and we loved getting a chance to reconnect. This would be the perfect location for our next night out. Love how the painting turn out even if you’re not a natural artist.
