Everyone loves a wholesome afternoon or evening out, and taking part in a painting class is a great way to do that. Whether you're a total beginner or the next Picasso, what could be more fun than working on your very own masterpiece in a room full of likeminded, creative people?

The one way to improve any arty event is with a cheeky drink or two, and there are plenty of places in the capital that offer boozy art sessions. We've rounded up the very top spots, so to discover some of the best paint and sip London has to offer, check out these cracking classes.

What Is Sip And Paint?

Usually led by an instructor, though sometimes self-guided, paint and sip sessions allow you to create a painting while enjoying drinks from a bar. There is often a theme so you don't need to decide what to create, though some classes allow you to choose exactly what you want to paint - perfect for more advanced artists or anyone who really wants to let their creativity shine. While drinks are sometimes included or done on a BYOB basis, typically they are available to purchase at the event.
