Not Sure Whether to Choose Resin Art or Paint and Sip?

Trying to decide between resin art vs paint and sip for your next creative night out? Both workshops offer fun, beginner-friendly experiences in Tallawong, but the style, process, and final artwork are very different.

This guide breaks down the key differences so you can confidently choose the workshop that suits your style, mood, and occasion.

What Is a Paint and Sip Experience? 🎨🍷

A paint & sip session combines guided painting with a relaxed, social atmosphere. Guests follow step-by-step instructions to create a painting while enjoying a drink, music, and conversation.

At Colourful Wine, paint & sip sessions are designed for beginners and focus on fun rather than perfection.

Paint and Sip Is Perfect If You:

• Enjoy guided, structured activities

• Want a relaxed night out with friends

• Like painting but don’t want pressure

• Are looking for a classic social experience

You’ll leave with a finished painting and a great memory of a shared night out.

What Is a Resin Art Workshop?

Resin art workshops are more hands-on and tactile. Instead of painting with brushes, you work with epoxy resin, pigments, and tools to create glossy, flowing designs.

Resin naturally moves and blends, creating organic patterns that are impossible to replicate exactly. Each piece is completely unique.

At Colourful Wine, resin workshops often involve creating functional art such as coasters, cheeseboards, or decorative trays.

Key Differences: Resin Art vs Paint and Sip

🎨 Creative Style

• Paint and Sip: Guided painting with a reference artwork

• Resin Art: Abstract, free-flowing designs with no fixed outcome

If you enjoy structure, paint & sip may feel more comfortable. If you enjoy experimentation, resin art is a great fit.

🖌️ Skill Level

Both workshops are beginner-friendly, but they feel different:

• Paint & sip follows a step-by-step process

• Resin art encourages exploration and “happy accidents”

You don’t need to be artistic for either — instructors guide you throughout both experiences.

🧠 Experience & Atmosphere

• Paint and Sip: Social, relaxed, chatty

• Resin Art: Focused, immersive, hands-on

Paint & sip is ideal for casual nights out, while resin art suits guests who enjoy learning a new medium and working with materials.

🖼️ Finished Artwork

• Paint and Sip: A canvas painting ready to hang

• Resin Art: A glossy, often functional piece you can use or display

Many guests choose resin art because they love taking home something practical as well as beautiful.

Which One Is Better for Groups or Celebrations?

Both options work well for group bookings, but the vibe differs.

Paint & sip is popular for:

• Birthdays

• Date nights

• Team socials

Resin art workshops are popular for:

• Creative gift experiences

• Smaller groups

• Guests wanting something different from painting

If you’re planning a celebration and want a lively atmosphere, paint & sip is often the go-to. If you want a unique, memorable activity, resin art stands out.

Is Resin Art More Advanced Than Paint and Sip?

Not necessarily — it’s just different.

In a guided workshop setting, high-quality art-grade resin is used, such as products from trusted brands like ArtResin. Safety instructions and materials are provided, and beginners are guided through every step.

Many first-time guests are surprised by how approachable resin art is.

Can You Do Both?

Absolutely — and many guests do.

Some people start with paint & sip because it feels familiar, then try resin art once they’re comfortable in the creative environment. Others fall in love with resin and come back to explore different formats.

Both experiences complement each other and offer something unique.

Which Creative Workshop Should You Choose?

Choose paint and sip if you want:

• A relaxed, social night out

• A guided painting experience

• Easy conversation and fun

Choose resin art if you want:

• A hands-on, immersive workshop

• A unique, glossy finished piece

• Something different from traditional painting

Either way, you’ll enjoy a creative experience that brings people together.
