Fun Sip and Paint ideas for your DIY paint & sip

What do you need for a Paint and Sip at home?

There is the obvious here, Paint & Sips, but also the not so obvious. Let's go through the list:

1. Paint and Sip kits: I would recommend to i nvest in a proper Paint and Sip kit that includes canvases, brushes, easels, and a variety of paints. It just saves you quite the hassle. These kits often also come with step-by-step instructions on how to use them best. And, if you take good care then you will most likely be able to use them more than once (except for the canvas of course). This is one worth checking out: DIY Painting kit .
2. Drinks: Choose your preferred beverages for the "sip" part of the event. Wine is a popular choice, as most painters of the past most consumed wine too. There are some great non-alcoholic wines on the market too, if you don't want to consume alcohol but still want to closely imitate an 18th century painter.
3. Protection: Wear aprons or provide old shirts to protect clothing from paint splatters. Also think about how to keep paint drops from appearing on your furniture pieces and the floor. Or even the ceiling, you won't be the first one telling me that you find paint on the ceiling the day after your sip and paint at home.
4. A theme: It just makes the whole experience even more fun. Find some fun paint and sip ideas online or decide on a theme for the painting session. For inspiration you could also check out our paint and sip event calendar and select one of the paintings to replicate at home.
5. Music: Definitely something you can't forget about, the music sets the vibe for your whole paint and sip at home event. Create a playlist or let your group decide the next song one at a time.

How to host a DIY paint and sip?

Hosting a DIY paint and sip is a delightful way to combine creativity with socialising, here's a script to help you host the perfect DIY paint and sip at home:

1. Prepare: Ensure you have wine and paint party kits, including canvases, paintbrushes, and a variety of paints. Don't forget aprons to protect clothing, drinks or easels either.
2. Set up your space: Designate a well-lit and comfortable area for painting. Cover surfaces with newspaper or a disposable tablecloth to help yourself a big deal cleaning up after the event.
3. Welcome your guest: Play some background music, set a laid-back vibe, and remind everyone that the goal is enjoyment, not perfection.
4. Paint & Sip away: Generally a paint and sip event takes about two hours, but depending on the difficulty of the painting you choose you might want to shorten or lengthen the event. We also wrote a whole article to explain everything you need to know about paint and sip if you are interested in finding out more and wowing your crowd with a bunch of facts about paint & sips.
5. Clean-up time: After everyone finished their canvas it is time to clean up: Brushes in the water, easels back in a box and aprons in the laundry machine. Pro tip: Let your brushes soak in the water first before you actually start removing the paint, this will save you a bunch of time.

Some different paint and sip ideas:

A particularly fun painting if this is your first time organising a paint and sip at home. Rather easy, and lots of fun variations to create (just add some animals to it!).

Starry night must be an all-time favourite of those organising sip and paints, it looks super beautiful and this easier version is actually not too difficult to do either. Remember, small brushes and small line strokes will do the trick here.

An abstract painting by our very own art instructor Vita. You can closely follow the painting she created or go wild with it (why keep it to only 3 women?). Don't forget the blue paint!
