Pinot’s Palette Is A Great Place To Come And Paint As You Let Go Of Life’s Problems For A While!
We all know this to be true. No matter how much we may feel like we have it all under control, there are instances in life where things just get a little hectic! While there isn’t much you can do for the days you have a full schedule (or particularly stressful schedule) there are ways to help manage your street-level… and painting is one of them!
It’s important for us to remember to take some time for ourselves and unwind with some great activities that take our minds off of the stressful stuff. With the observation from a customer and a little research into the subject, we’ve discovered something quite interesting (and useful)…. The ways our brains are divided and the roles that each part of the brain plays, it’s scientifically proven that you can’t indulge in your creative part of the brain, while overindulging in the problem-solving part.
The human brain is an intricate organ. At approximately 3 pounds, it contains about 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion connections. Your brain is command central of all you think, feel, and do.
The left side of the brain is associated with analytical thought, whereas the right side is associated with creativity. While each side of the brain, generally-speaking, controls the other side, there’s a dominate side that each one of us possesses; It’s the reason why some of us are better at art, rhythm, and imagination, and others are better at mathematics, logic, and linear thinking.
THINK ABOUT THIS:
**Your brain has to disengage from the problem-solving side to be engaged with the creative/painting side.
Basically, you can’t be thinking about (and stressing about) all of the problems in your life and the many things on your to-do list, if you’re engaging in an artistic process.
Unwind from a long day at work with a painting and wine class at our studio! Carcing some time out of your schedule to do something creative like painting and sipping wine, is really like a mini vacation you’re giving to yourself. You’re literally taking a vacation from your problems, if only for one of our 2-3 hour classes, but just that small amount of time away from the problems of life, can do wonders for you!
Just the act of finding a new hobby can make a person feel more well-balanced in their lifestyle. With all of the responsibilities in life, it's sometimes easy to forget that most people need and should have some ‘me time’. Dedicating some time on a regular basis to painting can help this to be achieved.Painting and creating art is a good way of distracting your thoughts from whatever is causing your stressing or anxiety. The distraction is, of course, only a momentary effect, but many people find that the relaxation gained during a painting session enables them to have a clearer line of thought, which later helps them deal with problems and help put them into perspective.One further benefit of painting to relieve stress, as it can often enable a person to achieve a positive state of mind known as “Flow”. This is a state of mind which occurs when an individual involved in an activity is totally immersed with strong feelings of involvement and focus

-- Painting and stress-relief:
One of the main reasons that art therapy has proved to be successful is due to the accumulative effects of several well-known benefits associated with the act of painting. These benefits include self-care, distraction and flow: Self-care means taking care of yourself and taking part in activities, purely or partly, for the benefit or your own well-being. Art can help you discern feelings and express thoughts that are difficult to articulate. Engaging with the arts and creating something is a way of engaging with and being in relationship with yourself, helping you to know yourself better. The process of creating art opens channels of communication beyond those of the purely verbal, dissolving barriers caused by words or our own internal censors, helping us to see ourselves, and others, more fully and clearly. In so doing it connects us more deeply to ourselves and to each other. If you are working in class with other people the atmosphere becomes one in which there is a mutual give and take of ideas, and a spirit of generosity. The creative process helps to create new relationships and foster existing ones in a positive productive environment.
-- Wine and relaxation:
We all know about the benefits of a glass of wine, pertaining to stress, so why not pair it with a creative activity and have the two forms of relaxation, helping you to de-stress?!
Drinking wine is one of the most time-honored ways for disconnecting our brains at the end of the day; It calms the mind, temporarily, because it is a central nervous system depressant, relaxing your brainwaves and muscles, too.
Come in for one of our classes and see what great effects it could have on you. Stop in on a weeknight and unwind from along day at work, as you switch gears from a strict schedule and dealing with stressful things, to allowing time for yourself and the freedom to be creative and do what you want. There are no rules to painting, in our opinion..
Sure, we’ll have one of our talented and helpful instructors, leading you though the painting of the evening, but it’s up to you to follow along or do your own thing. Thats the beauty of art: there’s no right or wrong, as it’s all about projecting your emotions and expressing yourself in your own way. Unleash your inner-artist and get in touch withy our creative side, free from judgment and right schedules, as you paint, drink, and have fun!
Our paintings events are so much fun and can be enjoyed by anyone at any age and artistic-ability level! There’s no need to have ANY prior painting experience when you come to our classes, the majority of our customers haven’t painted since grade school and they always leave with a handprinted masterpiece they’re proud of. Impress your guests with a stunning painting that YOU made and display in your home; They’ll likely want to come in for a class with you next time! Your instructor for the evening will walk you through the painting, step-by-step, encouraging and helping you the whole way though so don’t be worried that you won’t be able to paint…we proudly stand by our common saying that, “Anyone can paint!”
Take some time for yourself and come in with loved ones (or for some tie alone) and make a stunning work of art to take home and enjoy as a part of your decor. Remember how special (and talented) you are, each time you see your masterpiece and think of the fun and relaxing time you had, creating it!
