5 Weird Facts About Painting You Might Not Have Known

 




Are you a seasoned artist…or have you never picked up a brush? No matter! These 5 facts are

sure to tease your palette. Read on to learn more about painting before you start your next paint

and sip party.


1. The Art of Painting Is 30,000 Years Old!

Ancient cave dwellers used to mix substances like charcoal with blood or animal fat to paint on

stone. Don’t worry though, your painting party won’t involve hunting for your materials! We use

non-toxic and cruelty free paints at our paint and sip party.


2. Oil Paints Take More Than A Week to Dry

Oil painting requires extensive skill and patience to create your masterpiece. Because of this

paint’s unique composition, it could take up to decades to be considered fully dry by art historians.

Unlike these paintings, your paint and sip painting won’t take years to dry and you can hang it up in

your home before the night (or day) is done! A typical paint and sip party can last anything between

2 hours and an entire evening, so we’ll make sure you have art worth framing before the end.


3. The Most Expensive Painting in The World Is Worth $450 Million

The Salvator Mundi is a 600-year old painting by Leonarda Da Vinci that was sold in 2017. While

you might not be able to sell your paint and sip painting for millions, you can still have it in a place

of pride in your home! Bring your friends and family to a paint and sip party and you can fill your

homes with incredible (and affordable) art in no time. Our painting parties are an affordable way to

have fun, so don’t worry about spending a fortune on materials or canvasses. We’ll bring it all!


4. There Are More Shades of Green Than Any Other Colors

There are almost 300 of them to be exact. That’s because the human eye can perceive more

shades of green than any other color in the world. What could you paint with only different shades

of green?


With our paint and sip parties, you can make your friends turn all shades of green by creating a

masterpiece while having the time of your life. To book your very own paint night at home, give us

a call today!


5. Painting Is Good for Your Mind

Our paint and sip parties are more than just a great way to relax – they could actually be great for

your mind! Painting has been shown to improve and enhance your cognitive abilities and function

thanks to its use of creativity, hand-eye-coordination and focus.


Now that you know more about art, history, and the wonderfully weird world of painting, book your

own paint and sip night with Paint and Sip Live! We’ll give you all the materials, guidance, and

encouragement you need to create art and memories that will last a lifetime.
