Paint and Sip at Fleurieu Arthouse
What is Paint and Sip?
You may have heard about paint and sip evenings but have questions! Maybe you’ve no idea what they’re about at all or perhaps you have some knowledge but want to learn more.
Well, look no further. We’re here to answer all your questions about paint and sip evenings in Adelaide.
Paint and sip evenings are pressure-free painting lessons with a glass or two of wine! Often, there are light snacks to be had and you have guidance from an experiejnced art teacher.
Usually, all participants work on the same subject matter which could be a portrait, still life, landscape or maybe an abstract piece. Having everyone work on the same piece is a fun way to create an atmosphere of camaraderie - you can share tips and progress with your fellow painters!
As you work, your teacher will walk you through the different stages of painting - sketching the design, underpainting and so on. Your painting will gradually come to life and by the end, you’ll be hooked!

New, regular paint and sip sessions at Fleurieu Arthouse
We’re pleased to announce that we're going to be holding more regular paint and sip evenings here at Fleurieu Arthouse thanks to popular demand.
There’s a real interest in paint and sip for a growing number of people - and the way paint and sip is set up makes art much more accessible for everyone.
It’s a great way to begin painting again if you haven’t picked up a brush for a while. A professional artist will get you back in the swing of things in no time.
Even if you haven’t touched an easel since high school, it’s fine! Paint and sip in McLaren Vale is a no-pressure, fun learning environment.
Why is it called paint and sip?
It’s called paint and Sip or a reason - the idea is that you enjoy a glass or two of wine whilst you work. Getting all warm and cosy, losing yourself in the process of painting and spending time with others is a wonderful way to relax whilst improving your skills.
Here at Fleurieu Arthouse we’re lucky enough to be on the doorstep of Hardys Tintara Winery, so we have access to a wonderful array of wines.
Enjoying an evening of art with good wine and a delicious charcuterie board is a fantastic end of week treat.
