Feb. 14 is right around the corner. Yes, ladies, you read that correctly. . . Valentine’s Day. A day of giving and receiving chocolates, stuffed animals, well thought out cards and flowers. Now while many people may be planning dates with their significant other or planning socials with their girls, there are plenty of people looking for ways to spend their Valentine’s and why not spend it painting with a twist.

Couleurs de Miel will be hosting Mon Amour: Painting With A Twist, the first annual special event hosted by artist Debora Castor, who wanted to create a fun and affordable event for couples and friends to participate in on Valentine’s Day and also showcase and sell her art pieces. If you’re tired of doing the same old thing you’ve been doing these last few Valentine’s Days, here are five reasons why YOU should consider attending this event.

1. It’s Affordable

The cost is $25 and it doesn’t get any better than that. Normally, you’ll find that Painting with a Twist events are relatively expensive which is a complete bummer for people who would love to paint but aren’t able to dish out $50 to $100. With this event, you’ll get the most out of your $25, which leads to reason number two: free food and drinks.

2. Free Food and Drinks

Who doesn’t love free food and free drinks? Couleurs de Miel knows that food and drinks have a way of bringing people together at any event so, she will be providing finger foods, desserts, and drinks for everyone who attends the event.

3. Perfect Your Painting Skills

Whether you’re a professional painter who has been working on their craft for years or a beginner just getting the hang of painting, you’ll be able to showcase your painting skills. This is a great way to not only witness the masterpieces of other individuals, but you’ll also be able to get inspiration which will allow you to express yourself in ways you didn’t think were imaginable.

4. Meet New People

You’ll be able to meet new people and in the process make new friends. This can be a bonding experience while bringing people of different artistic backgrounds together and giving people a whole new perspective on art and on life. You’ll walk away from this experience a different person than when you came in.

5. Make This Valentine’s Day the Best Yet

Make this Valentine’s Day one to remember! Why should you spend Valentine’s Day moping around because someone didn’t ask you to be their Valentine? Do yourself a favor, grab a few of your friends, attend this Painting with a Twist event, and have the time of your life. By the end of the night, you’ll have forgotten about ‘what’s his name.’

Purchase your ticket or tickets here, you won’t regret it.
