FAQ
What language is the event in?
Most events will be held in French since we get mainly French visitors. However, most our hosts and art instructors also speak English (and more!) so will be perfectly fine helping you personally in your preferred language!
Do I need painting experience?
All levels are welcome at the Rembrandt van Wine painting sessions, from beginners to art professionals. The art instructors are there to help you at every step along the way, no matter whether it is your first time or your name is Rembrandt and you want to focus on developing further a specific painting technique. However, you don’t have to listen to our art instructors, you can also embrace your creative mind and paint it your own way. It is up to you!
What can I expect from a Sip and Paint event?
Hard to put the whole experience into words, but since you asked: We invite you to arrive around 10 minutes before the start of the event, giving you some time to settle in and get comfortable before we begin the painting session. Once everyone has arrived, our host and art instructor will give you a warm welcome and provide just the right guidance to get you started. Then, it’s all about enjoying 3 hours of painting, cocktails, delicious bites, and good vibes. Throughout the session, our art instructor will walk around to give personal painting tips and encouragement, while our host makes sure your drink is always topped up. And of course, you won’t leave empty-handed — you’ll get to take your masterpiece home with you at the end of the night!
What is included in the price?
Everything you need for the Sip & Paint experience is included: art supplies, paint, an art instructor, music, and a great amount of fun. Cocktails and delicious food are also included throughout the event. And of course, you’ll get to take your masterpiece home with you afterwards!
Do I have to follow the theme of the day?
We are not the art police, you can paint anything you want. Our art instructor is walking around and able to give you personal advice even if you paint something completely different from the theme of the day. Plus we have around 15 other painting templates to choose from, with written instructions on the back might you need it.
Can I bring my painting home directly after the event?
Absolutely, the paint typically dries pretty fast making you able to bring your masterpiece home with you directly after the event. To make things even easier you could consider bringing yourself a bag.
How does a neon painting look in the daylight?
Equally spectacular, but either very different or very the same depending on your painting decisions. We provide you with both neon and normal acrylic paint, ensuring that the painting can look both magical under black lights and beautiful under normal lights. We typically recommend starting with acrylic paint, and then adding some finishing touches and details with neon as these will then really pop out of your canvas. However, it is up to you how much of each paint you decide to use, and thereby how your painting will turn out in the normal light.
Can I join an event solo?
Yes, you should! We even hold some spare tickets behind for cool people wanting to come solo, just send us a message and we will get it sorted (even when an event appears to be sold-out). Sip and Paint is all about having fun, getting out of your comfort zone, learning something new in a judgement-free environment. Riding solo is a big part of all that!
Can I make a group reservation?
Yes, of course you can do this. You can simply buy as many tickets as your group needs for any of the events on our website.
What is the age limit for attending a Sip and Paint event?
As the event takes place in a bar environment where alcohol is served, the minimum age to attend is 18 years old. Thank you for your understanding, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Are food and drinks provided?
Drinks are all taken care of, they are on us. No need to bring anything yourself. We also serve delicious snacks (did anyone say Sushi?) during the event
What if I can't make it on the date I have a ticket for?
If you can’t make it on the date you planned to join we offer you to freely reschedule to a new date. Do note that we only offer this service up until 5 days in advance, as otherwise it might be impossible for us to re-sell your ticket. If you find out that you can’t make it within 5 days of the event then we offer you to freely change the names on the tickets so you can make someone else happy with a night at Sip & Paint Bordeaux.
Can I choose my seat?
Seats are not reserved – you can sit wherever you want. If you are coming with a group, we recommend being on time so you have first pick of the seats. Otherwise – no worries – just ask our painter / host and they will help you with the seating arrangement.
