Looking for a creative evening experience in Vancouver this weekend? Palettia.art is hosting Vancouver’s premier Picasso-themed Sip & Paint on May. Join us at 4:30 PM for a guided painting workshop to recreate a remarkable portrait by Picasso. The event is happening in The Gallery George (140 W Hastings St) located in the heart of Vancouver. As the organizers of these events, we’ve found that the Gastown atmosphere specifically enhances the painting experience.

This is a relaxed, wine-included art experience designed for beginners — even if you’ve never painted before. Your canvas will already include a professionally prepared pencil drawing, so you’re not starting from scratch. This means you can fully relax into the painting process — and you’re guaranteed to leave with a strong, beautiful portrait you’ll feel proud of.

Under the guidance of Ania Salmina — a professional exhibiting artist with 20 years of experience — you’ll learn how artists think about skin tones, light, colour harmony, and expressive brushwork in a simple, structured, and enjoyable way.

This is not a chaotic paint party.

It’s a curated gallery experience.

Slow down, sip your wine, and step into the world of portrait painting — where art feels elevated, but fully accessible.
