PAINT & SIP Famous Artists Inspired: Portrait Painting Night

Looking for a creative evening experience in Vancouver this May? Join us on May 23 at 4:30 PM for a guided inside The Gallery George in Downtown Vancouver (140 W Hastings St).

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.

• A glass of wine to start the evening
• A welcoming gallery setup inside Gallery George
• A 16×20" canvas
• All art supplies (brushes, paint, easel, apron)
• Professional guidance from an artist with 20 years of experience
• 2 hours of painting fun in a warm, cozy, holiday-themed atmosphere
• A finished one-of-a-kind artwork you’ll be proud to take home or gift

While other workshops focus on abstract improvisation, this session offers a guided, story-rich, beautifully structured painting experience.
You’re not just painting freely — you’re learning real artistic thinking, composition, colour warmth, and festive ambiance from a professional who teaches art every day.

Paint. Sip. Take a piece of Vancouver home.

Spaces are limited—sign up now for the luxury paint night in the George Gallery with Ania Salmina!
