🐢 Cosmic Sea Turtle — Blacklight Paint & Sip
Instructor: TBD
Turn down the lights. Turn up the color. Create something that glows.
Dive beneath the surface for a Friday night Paint & Sip that’s about to get a whole lot brighter! Cosmic Sea Turtle is a special blacklight painting experience featuring brilliant neon colors that come alive beneath the glow of blacklights.
You’ll create a colorful sea turtle swimming through a vibrant underwater world filled with bright coral, tropical fish, bubbles and dramatic rays of color. Against the dark background, the electric pinks, blues, purples, greens and oranges make this painting a serious showstopper.
And yes—it may look impressive, but beginners are absolutely welcome. Your Wine & Canvas artist will guide you step-by-step as you build your 16×20 masterpiece.
Grab your favorite people, bring your drinks and snacks, and get ready to paint beneath the blacklights. No experience required—just come ready for a colorful Friday-night adventure.
