Champagne Tuesday at Cheers to Art!

The girls and I visited a cute new place in Madeira called Cheers to Art! I found out about them because they're a Cincy Chic client! It's a painting studio with a bar... so I thought how PERFECT for a Champagne Tuesday outing! We're all very creative gals, so it was fun to see us show our personalities through our painting!

We got there and they had a few big tables set up with canvases and brushes at each seat. At the front of the room was the inspiration painting that the owners of Cheers to Art! (a super cute married couple) picked out. You can go on the calendar on their site and see what they'll be painting that night, or you can book the place out for a private party if you have a big crowd. It was me and three of the CT girls, and then there were two other big groups of fun gals.

We painted a little black dress at our night while enjoying a couple bottles of Poema sparkling wine. Jill, one of the owners, helped us learn how to paint the dress, but encouraged us all to take creative license, which we did... especially after a few sips of the bubbly! :)

At the end of the night we went around the room to look at everyone's paintings and it was so fun to see how different everyone's turned out. Just even within our group, we had Aymie's who's was full of fun and flair, Monika put a cute belt on hers, I put some tulle on the bottom of mine (a painting technique I figured out accidentally but ended up teaching another girl across the room) and Lauren painted a brown dress that we affectionately called "Mr. Hanky." hahaha!

The CT girls and I had SUCH a great time! Check out the video below to share in our fun that we had at Cheers to Art!
