[INVITED] I was gifted a paint and sip session by The Paint Republic taking place at Stane St. Syndicate. Upon arrival, we were given a pre-ordered burger. I chose the posh pollo and it was delicious. The chicken was quite juicy, and the avocado actually worked well with it, but I wish there was more avocado. We were also given some normal fries and sweet potato fries to share. As I don't eat regular fries, I had some sweet potato fries which was delicious.
Post dinner, we were led to a room set up kind of like an art class but for grownups. There was a canvas set up on an easel, with some paint underneath and brushes on the side with a cup of water. There was a teacher in the front of the room with a finished painting of a pair of flamimgoes amidst a body of water with the moon above.
We were led to paint the portrait step by step, but we were also encouraged to put our own spin on the painting. As someone who doesn't paint regularly, I just stuck to the instructions. It was a very enjoyable session and everyone had a different painting by the end. The whole thing took around 2-2.5 hours, and I was really happy with my resulting painting. I would recommend for people who want to unleash their inner creativity but need a bit of guidance. It's also a great activity to do with friends. read more
