Paint Nite!

Are you looking for something fun to do this week? Look no further than Paint Nite! Paint Nite is a fun event in DC where you can spend some quality time with friends, have glass of wine, and release your inner Picasso!

A couple of friends and I decided we wanted to explore a new hobby and we found a fun event called Paint NIte. Going to the website you can put in your zip code and get a whole page of different paintings to choose from. You select the one that most intrigues you and they inform you of the time and location for that specific paintings event.

This particular painting we chose was at Foggy Bottom at the Bertucci’s restaurant. When we arrived, everything was already set up. Each station has a canvas, brushes, and a palate of water colors. Just the basics: white, black, red, blue, and yellow. 

The instructor does a step by step tutorial on how to get the basics of the painting done, but you can always add your own little twist.

What I like about this activity is that you can eat, have fun with friends, and probably do something you haven’t done before.

Mine definitely wasn’t the most impressive painting and I haven’t discovered a secret talent, but it was an entertaining and I will definitely be going back!

If you’ve done a Paint Nite event or a different one like Uncork’d Art, send me your paintings on Facebook or Twitter. You can also tag #mandygreylane on Instagram and show me your own creation!
