Frequently Asked Questions

Rembrandt van Wine is a two hour sip and paint workshop with a twist. Next to the traditional painting part taking place in the dark it is also heavily focused on mingling in a semi-dark judgemental free environment. Simply no better place to get to know new people or a whole new side of people that you already believe to know. 

Rembrandt van Wine is all about having fun, getting out of your comfort zone, learning something new. It is definitely not your ordinary night out, come give it a try!

Everything you need for the paint and sip: Art supplies, canvas, art instructor, music, and a great amount of fun. 

Also, all drinks are on us. 

And, you get to bring your canvas home afterwards! 

We have 2 beautiful ateliers in The Netherlands, 1 in Amsterdam and 1 in Rotterdam. 

Our Amsterdam location is within 5 minutes walking of station Amsterdam-Zuid. The exact address is Parnassusweg 126 but the easiest way to find us is by searching for “Rembrandt van Wine Amsterdam” on Google Maps (or clicking this link).

Our Rotterdam location is located in “De Kroon” in Rotterdam-West. The exact address is Schiemond 20-22, 3024 EE but the easiest is searching on Google Maps for “Rembrandt van Wine Rotterdam” (or clicking this link).

We wrote a whole article explaining the specifics of paint and sip events but for those of you wanting a short answer:

A sip and paint is a painting class taught by a professional artists in a social environment with a good glass of wine by your side. Or any other beverage. 

All levels are welcome at the Rembrandt van Wine painting sessions.

The art instructors are there to help you at every step along the way, no matter whether it is your first time or your name is Rembrandt and you want to focus on developing further a specific painting technique.

However, you don’t have to listen to our art instructors, you can also embrace your creative mind and paint it your own way. It is up to you! 

English and Dutch. 

Both our host and art instructor are fluent in both and depending on the group will either instruct in both or one of the languages. 

There is no clear-cut answer to that as we tend to vary the paintings we create over time. For the most recent update you can check our event calendar where they are all on full display. 

Important note: You can always paint whatever you want, in no way, shape or form is anyone going to enforce you to paint the painting of the day. 

If you organize a private event with us then you can, if you wish, choose the painting you and your group will create. 

 

Drinks are all taken care of, they are on us. No need to bring anything yourself. 

Food is another story. During a regular event we do not serve food and there is no option to order it either. The event lasts for 2 hours so if you are afraid you will be hungry then please eat something beforehand. 

Is it possible to arrange cold and warm snack at a private event, depending on your wishes. 

Yes, we both offer non-alcoholic wine as well as a wide variety of soft drinks. 

If you wish to drink something super specific, please reach out to us and we will try to make it a reality. 

A Rembrandt van Wine event lasts for 2 hours.

We have learned that this is the perfect duration for some painting, sipping and socializing! We might go 5 or 10 minutes over time but we generally try to finish-up after 2 hours. 

By the way, you are welcome to arrive 10 minutes prior to the event. 

We don’t have a strict age limit. 

However, as there is alcohol being poured we ask each parent to decide for themselves whether they want their kid around in such an environment.
