BRUSHING AWAY STRESS

Paint and Sip events aren't just about mixing coloUrs and creating beautiful paintings. They provide an opportunity for people to use painting as a form of therapy. The idea of "art as therapy" is not new, but the concept is finding a new audience as more and more people turn to creative pursuits as a way to reduce stress and anxiety.


At Brushes n Bubbly, we strongly believe in the therapeutic benefits of painting, and we want to share some tips on how you can use paint and sip sessions to calm and direct racing thoughts.


Tip #1: Focus on the Process, Not the Outcome

At Paint and Sip events, the focus should be on the creative process rather than the end result. By focusing on the process of creating a painting, attendees are encouraged to let go of any self-judgment or expectations they may have about their art. This approach allows attendees to enjoy the calming and therapeutic qualities of the painting process.

Tip #2: Let Your Creativity Run Wild

aint and Sip events provide attendees with a creative outlet for channeling their thoughts. Attendees can express any emotions they may be holding onto through their artwork, allowing them to alleviate some of their stress and anxiety. Regardless of whether you consider yourself a talented artist or not, Paint and Sip events provide an opportunity to let your creativity flow freely, creating a therapeutic environment.


Tip #3: Enjoy a Glass of Wine or Bubbly

While the emphasis of Paint and Sip events centers on painting, we don't skimp on the 'Sip' aspect. Drinking a glass of wine or bubbly can help people relax and unwind, providing additional benefits during a Paint and Sip session. The right amount of liquid courage can lower inhibitions and balance moods, paving the way for better concentration and a more calming experience.


Tip #4: Take a Break from Daily Life

Picking up a paintbrush and immersing oneself in coloUrs and creativity can be a wonderful way to take a break from daily life and refresh the mind. Artists can focus on painting and connecting with the present moment, escaping the never-ending stresses of their hectic daily schedules.


Paint and Sip events provide artists with the opportunity to relax, de-stress and escape from daily life through the calming effects of painting. By following through with these tips, you can enjoy the therapeutic benefits of using art as a way to channel calmness and creativity.


So why not book a Paint and Sip event and discover the therapeutic benefits of painting for yourself?
