Art can express a variety of human feelings, from joy at the birth of a child to confusion at the birth of a man-child. Eloquently articulate your emotions with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $45 worth of classes at Pinot's Palette's Galleria location on Richmond Avenue.

Pinot's Palette whets artistic appetites with its creativity-stirring combination of paint and libations, transforming the plain painting process into a fun session of swigs and sketches. During each class, a local artist guides fledgling brush wielders through their artistic attempts at mastering a pre-determined art piece, such as a tulip still life or a Rococo rendering of a transportation-subcommittee hearing. Pinot's Palette provides all of the painting supplies needed, so students only need to bring their favorite beverage and whatever outfit awakens their inner Magritte, Cezanne, or painting elephant. Most classes take about two hours to complete. For those who do not use the entire balance of today's Groupon, the remaining balance can be applied to a future class, or the entire balance can be used for a more expensive class.
