Not since the last ’80s-night happy hour has there been such a good chance to express your inner self under conditions of mild intoxication. With today’s Groupon, $20 gets you a BYOB painting class (up to a $45 value) at Painting with a Twist, where you can paint, tipple, and converse in an artfully social atmosphere. Get your brushin’ on at the Woodlands location, where each session accommodates up to 36 people, all of whom are welcome to bring wine, beer, liquor, or anything else that can be fermented with yeast, such as warm milk merlot. Phone reservations are required.

Painting with a Twist adultizes the group art class by pairing expert instruction with the option to sip libations and socialize with other classmates. Check the schedule online to view available classes. Each two- or three-hour session will teach you step-by-step how to replicate the featured design (upcoming classes capture everything from flowers to crawfish, cafés, and the rugged masculinity of Burton Gilliam). Canvas, paints, and brushes are all provided, along with a handy stock of wine cups and openers to promote the creative flow. Upon the conclusion of your BYOB painting class, you’ll have a 16”x20” painting to hang proudly atop your mantle.

Painting with a Twist is designed for people with artistic aspirations that may feel too intimidated or not know where to start in the creative process. Under the influence of the soothing, inspiring muses of wine and good company, your boldest visions and most hidden techniques will surface pleasantly on the canvas like dolphins of the soul peering up curiously at the dazzled onlookers.
