Paint & Sip: Botanical Shadow Painting

A fun, beginner-friendly art night

Shake up your usual night out and try something a little different. This Paint & Sip Botanical Shadow Painting event is a fun, creative way to spend an evening—whether you’re coming for a date night, a friend hang, or just looking for something more interesting than scrolling or another dinner out.

Bring your favorite beverage, grab a brush, and enjoy a laid-back but energetic art experience where conversation, creativity, and a little experimentation are all encouraged.

This experience includes artist-grade materials, custom-mixed color palettes, and step-by-step instruction from a professionally trained painter to help you create something truly special.

You’ll create a minimalist botanical shadow painting using flowers and foliage—no drawing or painting experience needed. You will paint on an 11x14 inch canvas with high-quality, artist-grade acrylic paints.

How it works:

• Each station includes a flower or leaf arrangement.
• You’ll play with the placement to cast a shadow onto your canvas.
• With the canvas lying flat on the table, you’ll trace the shadow and paint it in.
• From there, the instructor will guide you through finishing details and layering.

The process is hands-on, interactive, and surprisingly satisfying. Everyone ends up with a clean, modern artwork that feels intentional and stylish—something you’ll actually want to hang on your wall or give as a gift.

The color palette changes weekly, which makes this a great recurring event. Come back with a partner or friend and build a mini collection of paintings in different colors—display them together or spread them throughout your space for a cohesive, gallery-style look.

• BYOB (wine, cocktails, mocktails—your call)
• Social, upbeat, and welcoming
• Music, conversation, and creative energy
• All materials provided—just show up ready to have fun

This isn’t about being “good at art.” It’s about doing something playful, creative, and a little out of the ordinary.

Mindy is a practicing artist specializing in painting and printmaking, with formal fine art training from Ventura College (CA) and Columbus College of Art & Design.

She loves helping people feel confident making art—especially those who think they “aren’t creative.” Her teaching style is approachable, encouraging, and low-pressure, with just enough guidance to help everyone succeed while still leaving room to make the painting your own. She believes making art should feel fun, freeing, and good for your wellbeing—and maybe even spark a new creative habit.

• Date nights and anniversaries
• First dates (no awkward small talk—your hands stay busy)
• Friends’ night out
• Experience gifts instead of stuff

Come paint, sip, laugh, and leave with art you actually love.
