Newport Paint and Sip Party - Dreaming of Paradise Drink

Newport Paint and Sip Party - Dreaming of Paradise Drink

Instructed by: TBD

Tropical colors. Ocean breeze. A mini vacation on canvas.

Join us at Verna’s Bar & Grill in Newport for Dreaming of Paradise Drink, a relaxing Paint & Sip experience inspired by sunny beaches and tropical getaways. In this vibrant scene, a refreshing island cocktail sits on a wooden beach table with a citrus garnish, cherry, and colorful drink umbrella. Meanwhile, soft ocean waves and sandy shores stretch across the background and instantly set the vacation mood.

As you blend cool ocean blues with warm sand tones, the beach scene slowly comes to life. Next, you will layer rich reds and soft highlights to create a glowing tropical drink. Because our instructor guides you step by step, beginners can easily follow along and still create a beautiful finished painting.

Whether you plan a girls’ outing, a casual date, or simply want a creative escape, this class offers relaxed coastal vibes and bright summer energy. In fact, many guests say these beach paintings feel like a tiny vacation in the middle of their week.

Even better, you don’t need any painting experience. Instead, we break the design into simple sections so you can sip, paint, and enjoy the experience from start to finish.

What You’ll Learn

During this class, you’ll:

• Blend ocean blues and soft sky tones for a beach backdrop

• Create sandy shoreline gradients for depth

• Paint glass highlights and reflections on the cocktail

• Add colorful garnishes like citrus slices and drink umbrellas

• Use layering and contrast to make the drink stand out

Because each step builds on the previous one, your painting will come together smoothly and naturally.
