A few days ago, I went to my first paint nite presented by Yummi Studios at the Post Office Cafe in Babylon, NY. Attending a sip and paint has been on my 30 before 30 list, so when my friend asked me to go, I was excited.
Introduction to Yummi Studios Paint Nite
The event was called “Piña Colada Paint & Sip”. If you do attend a Yummi Studios Paint nite, make sure to read the terms; there are BYOB, alcohol-free or pay at the venue. We thought Piña coladas were included, but they were sold at a discounted $5. Our instructor gave a brief overview of Yummi Studios and the various sip and paint events hosted within Long Island and NYC. The instructor also mentioned the possibility of becoming frustrated with going through the steps to create our “masterpiece”. The main focus for attendees is to have a good time. I was a bit nervous about my final result since I have zero painting skills.
The Painting Experience with Yummi Studios
The painting we followed looked pretty tough to reproduce, but following directions step by step wasn’t so bad. I “failed” on more than one occasion, but certain cover-ups were able to hide my faults. In addition to painting, my friends and I were able to catch up and talk about what was going on in our personal lives. It had been months since seeing each other, so we had a lot to talk about.
Have you ever attended a Yummi Studios paint nite event before?
I have seen many people doing this. Seems fun, maybe I will check it out.
How pretty! I need to round up some gals and do a paint night. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun.
I’ve never done a paint night! I am artsy fartsy, so I would love something like this! I need to find one near me…. Your painting looks great 🙂
I attended my first paint night at a blogging conference a few years ago of all places! But it was so much fun, and I had no idea I could actually paint something that looks like how it’s supposed to look (we drew a fish in water). You all did a great job!
That loops like a great time. I.have not been but indefinitely plan to attend a paint night
I love paint nite! I have 3 paintings so far and will add those to my little space. Glad you enjoyed it! Pretty picture.
I’ve never had a paint night with girlfriends before…so I’m thinking that’s a great idea to hash out this year with some friends. Maybe we’ll need to start one. 🙂 Yours looks like a lot of fun.
I haven’t been to a paint night, but it looks like a lot of fun. Your painting looks great. I love the idea of doing something different while reconnecting with friends.
It looks good to me. I love the paint and sip concept although I’ve not done one.
This would be a cute date night option.
I want to do a paint night so much! It looks like fun. Babylon isn’t too far from us so maybe I can check this out.
I have always wanted to do one of these painting classes. I have no doubt l would be terrible at it as l suck at painting, but l think it would be fun to try. Yours looks good. What a fun memento.
