I have two younger siblings, a 5-year-old yorkie and one teenage son. I relocated to Dallas in 2014 and fell in love with the city. Until about the age of 16, I was raised a military brat, traveling all over the world, having lived in places such as Hawaii, Kentucky, Georgia, Germany, Michigan, Missouri and Kansas. I am originally from a small town in Kansas called Leavenworth. The Interview Tanasha, the owner and Bougie Black Blogger Be sure to get in on this, because it is not like we are creating old and classic art pieces but there are paintings that are relevant for today. No two pictures were the same and that was to be expected.Īs I follow Tanasha on social media, I have seen events that honor people such as Prince, Beyonce and Michael Jackson. They even helped come up with colors that would help with what we painted. Although, they had the image that we were to paint, they were open to people’s own interpretations. During the class, they made sure that people were caught up before moving to the next step. Even though it was my first time, I felt so at ease. Some people have done many of her classes and some, like me was their first time. I had an amazing time painting and meeting new people. She recited “Paint Me” which of course was perfect for the evening.

This night, we had a spoken word artist by the name of Viola K. One thing she did was invite people from the community to play a part in the evening. Fun and silly but really makes for a night to remember.
SIP AND PAINT NEAR ME BLACK OWNED HOW TO
What is cool about Buzzed Art Nite, they really teach you how to do it and that means people on all levels can recreate the pieces.Īnother thing that is really cool about Buzzed Art Nite, is that it is engaging, Tanasha, the owner, hosts activities which are also challenges. We started off with the background, learning how to mix colors and blend. I tend to zone out and let my heart do more of the work. I was so ready to start painting! Painting to me is healing. So you will have many perspectives and creative lenses. What is really cool is that she hires artists, creating a team which gives us a diverse painting experience.


She engaged with the guests and we grew with anticipation to recreate in our own perspective, the art piece for the night. So if you are looking for a unique, engaging and fun night out, look no further.įirst of all, let me tell you about my experience! I enter this restaurant and was brought to a room where tables were set up with easels, paint, brushes, smock and the canvas! She is ready for you when you enter.Īs we waited for more people to show up, we talked with one another and ordered food and beverages. She is the owner of Buzzed Art Nite, a paint and sip business specializing in contemporary, pop cultured, and urban pictures. I was too excited to connect with Tanasha here in Dallas, TX. Yes, painting flowers are cool and even recreating Starry Night is cool but as a millennial with an artistic side, I wanted something that would reflect my taste. They were nice pictures but not exciting. While I was choosing days and pictures that I wouldn’t mind hanging on my wall, I got bored. Last year for my birthday, a group of my friends went to a paint and sip event and had an amazing time.
