Paint, Sip, and Laugh with Us at The Exchange

It’s been a minute since I’ve done one of these, but here we are — back at it with paintbrushes, cocktails, and just enough nervous energy to make this interesting.

On Wednesday, September 17th from 6–8 PM, we’re hosting a Paint and Sip at The Exchange in Oil City — yes, that Exchange. The one with the epic mural I spent months painting. And honestly? Being able to teach this class in the same space where I left a chunk of my soul feels like the perfect full-circle moment.

We are super excited to be a part of this!

The Challenge: Make Something Beautiful in Two Hours

Here’s the thing about Paint and Sips — you want something fun, colorful, and gorgeous, but also something you can actually finish before the night is over. No one wants to be the person still adding details while the staff is stacking chairs. So I spent some serious time coming up with a painting that’s doable in two hours, even with snacks, cocktails, and laughter breaks built in.

This time, we’re painting a desert sunset with a gorgeous desert rose in the foreground and camels in the distance. It’s bright, dramatic, and a little magical — perfect for sipping, chatting, and feeling like an artist, even if the last time you held a paintbrush was in elementary school.

The Vibe: Chill, Fun, and a Little Silly

Let’s be honest — Paint and Sip isn’t about perfection. It’s about having fun, trying something new, and laughing when your camel accidentally turns into a funky-looking horse (or a dinosaur — we support creative expression here).

And The Exchange? Couldn’t ask for a better venue. The food is amazing, the drinks are top-notch, and you’ll be painting under the watchful eyes of the mural characters I painted — so yes, technically, you have an audience.

The Catch: Only Three Spots Left!

As of right now, there are just three spots left for this event — so if you’ve been thinking about joining, this is your nudge. Reserve your spot, grab a friend, and let’s make some art, share some laughs, and maybe even accidentally create a masterpiece.
