Though some level of creativity resides within every individual, some people just have not figured out how to express it. This is where a class that gives artistic instruction while allowing students to partake of refreshment and beverage and promoting fun, can be most helpful. In several cities, such as Salt Lake City, UT, folks are discovering just how freeing painting night out can be.

Many special art studios offer opportunities to explore the sense of freedom and joy that comes from using paint and a brush to create something amazing on a canvas, to the public. Sessions are held in like instructional classes but with an atmosphere of relaxed fun that allows the imagination to open up. Anyone can come as it requires no real talent or skill.

This is an enjoyable activity for people of every age, background, skill level and general interest. Most classes host between three and thirty people, last about two hours and are led by talented local artists. Tables are set up with easels, brushes, canvases, paints and all the necessary tools at each work station, providing each participant with everything they need to create their masterpiece.

This is a really simple concept. With the help of a qualified instructor and perhaps an assistant, everyone is guided personally through each step of the process of reproducing a copy of the example work. Individuality and flair are greatly encouraged so what might normally be viewed as a mistake are actually considered opportunities of creative expression.

The instructor clearly explains every part of the process from knowing the proper brush to use and how to do certain strokes, to how to blend colors and get a specific effect. All through the class, participants are allowed to eat and drink their own personal refreshments. Depending on the studio, sessions permitting alcoholic beverages may be offered though local regulations will apply.

Art sessions like these are a great way to relax and have some fun whether it is spending time with good friends, the family, coworkers or even when on a date with that special someone. They can also be a creative idea for special events like birthdays, bridal or baby showers, bachelorette parties and private gatherings. For scout packs or troops, this type of instructions could be both an informative and entertaining way to earn applicable badges.

More companies are discovering what a fantastic team building technique these types of sessions can be. They allow the employees to get more casually acquainted and build bonds in a stress free environment away for their place of business. While they are getting closer as individuals and having fun, they are gathering the skills necessary to work for a central goal such as reproducing a central image.

Most people realize what great fun this option is after just one session. It is easy to share the fun and present others the opportunity to experience the fun by buying gift certificates. As a reward to loyal customers, many studios have a variation on a frequent painter program, that lets clients earn discounts and freebies by attending multiple classes.
