Sip and Gogh

Sip and Gogh
Hey, I created my own masterpiece with Sip and Gogh and it's currently hanging in my room!
Read more to know how to create your own! ;)



I've been having so much fun exploring my creative side the past months through workshops on brush and modern calligraphylettering, and watercolor that I decided to take it up a notch by doing something on canvas. I did it with the help of Sip and Gogh, the first-of-its-kind paint and sip studio in the Philippines!

Whether you are an aspiring Van Gogh or have never painted before, Sip and Gogh will help you uncork your creative side. You can either choose a painting from their gallery or just paint anything you want!
Sip and Gogh
They have different events you can join - Family Fun Day (for all ages), Date2Create (for couples), Bring-Your-Own-Bottle (for ages 18+), Art for a Cause (fundraising events), and Open Sessions (for ages 16+). You can check their calendar for their schedule :)

We signed up on one of their Open Sessions so we could choose the painting we wanted to copy. Don't worry if you don't have any prior experience on painting because they have instructors who will guide you step-by-step in creating your own masterpiece that you can take home at the end of every session.

They'll even provide you with everything you need - from canvas, paints, brushes, palette, easel, and apron. All you have to bring is yourself, your creativity, and enthusiasm.

We were given snacks and a complimentary drink - I choose wine while Tim ordered Stella Artois.

The instructor drew lines on my canvas to give me an idea on which part to paint what color.

Here's my work-in-progress:

I think this was the most serious/quiet date we've had. We were both so focused on painting that we didn't talk much during the session!
