Wine Sipping Parties  & Fun Art News…..

I was browsing at new art selling markets on the weekend. In spite of Covid (which I tend to ignore) – do other people shrug it off if not in danger of contracting it? 🤨

You may have already attended, been invited or at least heard of, sip & paint nights or paint parties?…. Yes…I must be the only person to never have wondered where the instructors get all those painting templates from?

Perhaps you also have missed this artist call or weren’t aware that it can be a great side hustle if you have a large pile of paintings collecting dust on your wall or shelf. Beware – not just any painting will do though! The host of each paint night has a large crowd to teach so the painting has to be created to break down into steps. These painting steps are what is so attractive about the purchase. While the painting must also be attractive and make people want to create it. The painting can’t be so complicated that it can’t be taught to almost anyone!

The website I reviewed was Studio Marketplace. It’s a great website that is chalk full of Artist galleries or Paint Night Companies and Artist Storefronts with painting templates all ready to purchase. It’s great on one hand because the Party Host can download the painting and sell out the paint night before even purchasing the Art if they wanted, so you never have to wonder if the idea is popular. In fact some Paint Party companies can create a calender way ahead and measure the interest so far ahead it could be easy to adjust unpopular paint nights and replace with a different painting months ahead of time.

Selling Art this way is a relatvely new concept of of Art license use. It’s also a chance for painters with patience to try breaking a painting down by brush stroke. The party host/ gallery/sip night host then creates their event, secures the venue, sells tickets, of course they prepare everything well in advance. The event is then presented with wine, dinner or apies and friends – VIOLA! SIP PAINT Night Parties!! Now I must check as these should be still going on online – I have the urge to paint and it could be just as fun in a smaller group size and entirely online. So start breaking down those brush strokes and stack that cash.

Can you see the allure for side income? If the artist doesn”t mind selling the end user licence rights for a quick $35.00 – $75.00 per sip party, now when based on one city that sounds small – now picture sip parties by the dozens in each city, hundreads by state, and yep, that’s a sweet bonus for any artist! Have fun preparing your next masterpiece for Studio Marketplace to add to your storefront (as stated by their website)

Moving Right Along ,……………….

An exciting opportunity POPPED UP in my reading travels thats way to cool not to mention in this post – all the way from PaRis baby…the Global Online Art Mag – singulart.com’s latest post is all about applying for a cool different Artist Residency in Iceland. So if Paint Nights don’t do it for you, maybe this is more your kind of thing? I mean quarantining for two 5 day covid stints back to back in Iceland could be fun…maybe!

Well that should keep you amazing artists entertained for a few minutes. I have always wanted to visit Iceland! Has anyone reading ever been?

Thanks for taking the time to read. 😀 I hope this was a bit of News You could Use.

Sending Much Love & Inspiration.* Erin
