🎨 Paint & Sip Night — "Merry & Bright" ✨
Thursday, November 19th • 6:00 PM
Gather GVL — 126 Augusta Street, Greenville, SC
Kick off the holiday season with a cozy paint-and-sip evening at Gather GVL in Greenville's West End! This month we'll be painting "Merry & Bright," a snowy winter scene featuring a glowing lamppost wrapped in fresh greenery and a big red bow, a snow-dusted evergreen, and a hand-lettered "Merry & Bright" sign beneath a sky full of falling snow.
Soft winter blues set the scene, with the warm glow of the lamp and deep evergreen for contrast. We'll guide you through it step by step, and you're welcome to personalize your sign with your own holiday message.
🎉 What to Expect
- A guided, step-by-step painting session — no experience necessary!
- Your canvas comes pre-traced with the design, so you can relax and focus on the fun part.
- All supplies provided: canvas, paints, brushes, and apron.
- A fun, relaxed evening to sip, paint, and get into the holiday spirit.
- Your own finished "Merry & Bright" painting to take home at the end of the night.
