All Things Paint (ATP) held a Women’s Month Sip n Paint this past weekend, where ladies gathered at the RR Bistro to enjoy an afternoon of good wine and good art.
ATP is a company that specialises in Sip and Paint events, and director Carla Muller says the idea behind it was to create a space where anyone could paint and no experience would be required.
“You should not be scared or intimidated to paint, it is really just to open the art world to anybody. Some people don’t even know that they’re an artist till they try it,” Muller says.
Muller says they are at the bistro twice a month, and guests are treated to an experience that takes them away from mundane reality.
“It’s as if for one moment, you forget all your problems. You’re just so focused on that painting in front of you. We took inspiration from Frida Kahlo because it’s Women’s Month. She showed so much strength in her paintings. She was an inspiration,” Muller says.
ATP’s in-house artist, Annika van Jaarsveld, designed the pieces the ladies would be painting over.
When she’s not a Grade 3 teacher at Laerskool Meyerspark, Van Jaarsveld spends her time making the designs for ATP for nearly a year now.
“When I design the artworks, I design them how I see them. But when you do the Sip n Paint events, you can get 20 different views, so it’s nice to see how everyone makes the artwork their own,” she says.
