With the Coronavirus continuing to be a devastating pandemic, the demand for hobbies that can be done safely at home has risen to new heights.  

More than 2, 65 million global deaths and 120 million infections will scare even the most social extrovert into staying at home. (The folks who think it’s a hoax aren’t taken into consideration here) 

When things are so bad outside, we all need a way to escape from reality and forget about all the bad things, even if just for a while. 

That’s where paint and sip classes online come in and they’re improving our moods quite a lot. Maybe it’s the chance to be creative, or perhaps it’s the generous glass of wine, but something about these classes make them very popular. 

What Are These Classes, Exactly? 

Thanks to the internet, you can attend paint and sip classes online, and they’re exactly what the name suggests. 

A virtual paint and sip class consists of a computer or laptop, a teacher, students, paint, and wine.  You can attend the class wherever you’re most comfortable, but it should probably be a place where you can make a mess. 

You don’t need much paint-wise either – just a canvas, a few brushes and some paint should do the trick. Oh, and old clothes so you don’t spill paint on one of your favorite outfits. 

And, of course, a tall glass of wine needs to be nearby. 

The class will be relatively informal, attended by normal people like yourself. The teacher will likely show you a few paint tricks and then encourage you to have fun as you paint. 

All while everyone enjoys their wine. 

If you want to spend an afternoon relaxing and not thinking about the state of the world, take paint and sip classes online and in the comfort of your own home. 

These classes may not be something entirely new, but virtual classes are certainly a new version. Why not enjoy them, especially since it doesn’t look like the Coronavirus will stop being a problem in the very near future? 

Delicious Wine Options 

Eager to get started with paint and sip classes online but not sure what wine would be best for the occasion? Why not buy a trusted French wine? It’s sure to leave you inspired and ready to paint like a pro! 

Abbotts & Delaunay Viognier 2018 

With creamy apricot, exotic violet and honeysuckle notes, and peach flavor, this French wine stands out as one of the most popular bottles you can buy locally. The underlining ginger spice adds something special that makes this wine superb and perfect for online paint and sip classes.  

Chablis 2019 

Described as a bright Burgundy blonde, this (French) wine is poised and stylish with a persistent finish. It has elegant apple and citrus flavors packed with refreshing acidity. Want to feel sophisticated while you paint? This is the ideal wine option.  

Arnaud Robert Brut Champagne NV 

Widely considered one of France’s best wine exports, this wine is fantastic. It offers brioche and floral notes unsurpassed by most others. You’ll also pick on peach and apple notes when enjoying this wine. A bottle of this liquid gold will give your painting a touch of class. 

An Inspiring Twist on Painting 

Sanja Jankovic is a painter who enjoys bringing canvases to life with her art. Her paintings will leave any art lover (and those who know very little) stunned. Not only does Sanja have undeniable talent, she can also paint with wine. 

Yes, you read that right: she paints with wine, not paint. 

She uses red wine (because white probably won’t show on a white canvas or paper) to conjure up the most amazing paintings. 

The type of vintage and grapes affects the kind of paintings Sanja creates. It also influences the colors that she has to work with.  

Naturally, the higher the quality of the wine used, the better pigments she has to work with. In this case, a box of cheap wine would not suffice. 

Sanja prefers to work with Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Chardonnay, and Merlot. Using these wines, she has been able to paint really amazing pieces.
