Wine and Acrylics: Cozy Home Edition
Stay in for a romantic, wallet-friendly date night where you sip on your favorite wines while painting together. Let your creativity flow and enjoy an evening of laughter, conversation, and connection.
- Start the evening by setting up your cozy home studio. Spread out the painting supplies on a table, put on some gentle music in the background, and keep your wine of choice ready. The evening is going to be about pouring out your feelings through the hues of acrylics and the smooth flavors of your favorite wine.
- Next, decide on what you're going to paint. It could be a scenic beauty, abstract, or a portrait of each other. You could also look up an online tutorial for a fun guided painting session. Keep it fun and relaxingโthis isn't a competition.
- As you paint and sip your wine, take the time to appreciate each other's creativity. Compliment each other's artworks and enjoy the beautiful mess you're creating. It's all about expressiveness, after all.
Preparation steps:
- To set up for this date, you'll first need to clear a space where you can get messy. Cover your workspace with newspaper or a tablecloth to avoid stains.
- Next, make sure you have all the painting supplies. This includes canvases, paintbrushes of varying sizes, a palette or a plate to mix colors and acrylic paints. You should be able to find these at a local art store in Ankara. If not, plan ahead and order online.
- Finally, pick up a bottle or two of your favorite wine. If you're not sure what to get, Beykoz Kundura Cabernet Sauvignon or Diren Collection Kalecik Karasi are good Turkish wines to try.
