Enjoy A Wonderful Painting Night Out


By Deana Norton


All people possess creativity though not everyone knows how to let it flow. That becomes less of an issue when fun art lessons and one's favorite refreshments are combined into a single experience. Painting night out events are a lighthearted, laugh filled, way to to relax, socialize and unwind for people of all age groups and backgrounds in Salt Lake City, UT and other cities across the nation.

Many special art studios offer opportunities to explore the sense of freedom and joy that comes from using paint and a brush to create something amazing on a canvas, to the public. Sessions are held in like instructional classes but with an atmosphere of relaxed fun that allows the imagination to open up. Anyone can come as it requires no real talent or skill.

Regardless of age, skill level, talent, background or personal interests, this is an activity that can be enjoyed by all. With a local artist as instructor, a typical class will be about two hours long and have somewhere between 3 and 30 participants. Each individual will have a work area completely outfitted with a canvas, an easel, paints, brushes and everything else needed to produce a great piece of art.

This is a really simple concept. With the help of a qualified instructor and perhaps an assistant, everyone is guided personally through each step of the process of reproducing a copy of the example work. Individuality and flair are greatly encouraged so what might normally be viewed as a mistake are actually considered opportunities of creative expression.

How to use each style of brush, do special paint strokes, get a certain effect and correctly blend colors, are all easily explained by the instructor. Throughout the class, participants are permitted to eat the snacks and drinks that they brought with them. In some studios, sessions that allow people to bring alcoholic beverages may be scheduled though the regulations for the local area will be followed.

Anyone looking for a creative way to have a fun time with the family or close friends, or to hang withe the coworkers, or even do something different while on a date, might find these art sessions to be perfect. They might also be great for sparking up a bachelorette party, a birthday, or even baby and bridal showers. Scout troops or packs could even take one session as a way to earn a few badges.

A lot of companies have discovered that bringing employees to private sessions of this type, is a fantastic way to build an effective team. It starts by removing the pressures of being in the workplace, allowing them to socialize together in a relaxed environment that is geared towards interaction and fun. While enjoying themselves, they are also building bonds and learning to help each other get to the common goal of creating the same image.

Most people realize what great fun this option is after just one session. It is easy to share the fun and present others the opportunity to experience the fun by buying gift certificates. As a reward to loyal customers, many studios have a variation on a frequent painter program, that lets clients earn discounts and freebies by attending multiple classes.
