How to Make the Most of Your Paint Party Experience with Paint and Sip Portland

Updated: Oct 17

Are you ready for a fun and creative night out with friends or family? At Paint and Sip Portland, we believe in making your paint party experience not only enjoyable but unforgettable! Whether you’re a seasoned artist or picking up a brush for the first time, we’ve got you covered with simple, approachable projects inspired by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.



Follow these tips to ensure you get the most out of your time at one of our events!

1. Choose the Right Event for You

We offer a variety of themes and designs for all skill levels. When booking, check out what’s on the schedule—whether it's an evening of scenic mountain landscapes, beachy vibes, or whimsical florals, there’s something for everyone. You can also opt for private parties tailored to your group!

Tip: Consider which painting speaks to you before signing up, as it’ll make the experience even more personal and fun.

2. Dress for Fun and Creativity

Don’t worry about being Picasso; just come dressed for a little mess! We provide aprons to keep most of the paint off your clothes, but it’s a good idea to wear something casual that you won’t mind getting a splash of color on.

Tip: Comfortable, paint-friendly clothing means you can focus fully on having fun with your painting and sipping without stress.

3. Grab Your Favorite Drink

A paint and sip party isn’t complete without your favorite drink in hand! Many of our venue partners have beverages available for purchase.

Tip: Wine pairs beautifully with creativity, but so does a great local craft beer or even a mocktail! Whatever helps you unwind and get in the zone.

4. Embrace the Process

One of the most important things to remember is to enjoy the journey. Even if your painting doesn’t turn out exactly how you envisioned, the real joy comes from the process of creating, laughing, and bonding with your group. Plus, no two paintings will ever be the same, and that’s part of the charm!

Tip: Don’t be afraid to put your own twist on your painting—add extra colors, patterns, or details that reflect your personality.

5. Ask for Help!

Our instructors are here to guide you step by step, making sure you feel confident as you go. If you’re ever feeling stuck or unsure about the next move, just ask for assistance! We believe painting should be fun, not stressful.

Tip: If you're not sure about a technique or color choice, don’t hesitate to ask for suggestions. We’re here to help!

6. Capture the Moment

A paint party is a great opportunity to take photos with your friends and your masterpiece! Share your experience on social media with the hashtag #PaintandSipPortland, and you might even see your creation featured on our page!

Tip: Group shots are a must, but don’t forget to snap some close-ups of your artwork to remember your artistic journey.

7. Take Your Time

Our paint and sip events are about unwinding, so don’t rush through the painting. Take your time, sip your drink, and enjoy the atmosphere. We’ll make sure you have plenty of time to complete your piece without feeling pressured.

Tip: If you feel like you’re falling behind, just ask the instructor for a quick review, or take a sip, relax, and dive back in with fresh eyes.

8. Book Ahead for Special Occasions

Whether it’s a birthday, bachelorette party, or just a much-needed girls’ night out, we can help you celebrate in style. Booking ahead ensures that your special occasion is customized just for your group.

Tip: Contact us to arrange a private paint party for your next big event. It’s a unique way to create lasting memories with your favorite people.
