Private Paint & Sip · Los Angeles
We bring the painting. You bring the wine.
A 2-hour guided painting experience for adults, hosted at your home, backyard, Airbnb, or office. Step-by-step instruction from a fine artist with a Master's in Art Education. No studio. No strangers at the next table. Just your group, your space, and your music.
Who this is for
- Girls' nights that want to do something more memorable than dinner
- Bachelorette parties looking for a calm, photo-worthy alternative to bar crawls
- Adult birthdays for friends who'd rather paint than bowl
- Date nights — couples paint side by side
- Corporate team building — small offsites and team dinners
- Just because — sometimes you want to make something with your hands
What's included
Guided painting session
A 2-hour step-by-step painting led by Elena. Everyone goes home with a finished canvas they're proud of. Skill level: total beginner to comfortable amateur.
All art supplies
Personal canvas, acrylic paints, brushes, easels, palettes, and aprons.
You provide the drinks
Wine, cocktails, sparkling water — whatever your group wants. We don't serve alcohol (this keeps us out of liquor licensing) but we'll happily paint while you pour.
Hosted at your location
Your home, backyard, Airbnb, rooftop, office. Anywhere with a table and good lighting works.
Setup and cleanup
We arrive 30 minutes early to set up. We leave your space the way we found it.
Real teaching skill
Elena's a credentialed art educator, not a weekend studio host. You can tell in 5 minutes.

Why private beats a studio.
Public paint-and-sip studios
- You're at a table with strangers
- Set time slot, can't be flexible
- Studio noise, fixed playlist
- Same painting as everyone else
Private with Elena
- Just your group
- Your home, your music, your timing
- Your wine, your snacks, your vibe
- Custom paintings if you want them
- A credentialed art educator, not a part-time studio host
What people say
“Best bachelorette I've hosted, hands down. She came to our Airbnb and walked all eight of us through a painting, and somehow they all turned out a little different even though we followed the same steps. You can tell she actually knows what she's doing.”
“Booked this for my mom's 60th. Twelve of us, a couple bottles of wine, and Elena running the whole thing really calmly. My aunt has never touched a paintbrush and she was laughing the entire night. So worth it.”
“Honestly the easiest birthday I've ever thrown. Elena brought everything, set up in the backyard, and had ten 7-year-olds actually painting for an hour and a half. A couple of the other moms asked for her number on the way out.”
