It was my first time ever doing a paint and sip and let me just say, I had such a phenomenal experience here at Faded Strokes. From when you walk in and sit down, you are taking care of by Sophia and Gabe. They made sure that you had all the paint supplies, drink and food tickets. The music was upbeat and there were performances from local artist. The instructor didn't force us to copy what he was painting, yet instead told us to paint what we had in our heart and mind, but also that we were more than welcome to follow him. While you were painting, goodies were being passed out. You weren't judged or graded on your paintings, however you did receive compliments from the hosts, instructor, and guests.
If you didn't want to paint you also had the option to just come and hang out and see what was going on. So at least for next time you can see if you want to paint or just hang out again. I wish I could do this again with Faded Strokes however I live in Texas. But if you live in the DMV area, I would definitely give it a try. read more
