Hosting a Wine & Coloring Party

In a fast-paced world filled with constant demands and stresses, it's all too easy for adults to overlook the simple pleasures that can rejuvenate the spirit and bring joy into our lives. Enter the delightful combination of a coloring party infused with art history color pages and a splash of wine—a perfect formula for an evening filled with relaxation, creativity, and cherished moments with friends. 

In this blog post, we will shift from our normal focus (introducing children/students to art history) by exploring the enchanting world of adult coloring, the power of gathering with friends, savoring a glass of wine, and the fascinating art history-inspired color pages that can transport you to bygone eras. Discover how this unique blend of creativity, companionship, and a little wine (or fun mocktail!) can provide a much-needed respite from the everyday hustle and reveal the many surprising benefits that coloring offers to adults. 

So, grab your colored pencils, a glass of your favorite wine, and let's embark on a journey of artistic expression and camaraderie while we help you host a wine coloring party!

The Perfect Pairing: Wine and Art

If you're a wine enthusiast and a lover of art, you're in for a treat. Our Wine in Art Coloring Pack offers a delightful combination of two great passions. This unique collection of coloring pages lets you explore the world of wine through the lens of art history. Here's what you can expect in this coloring pack:

Almost Two Dozen Printable Pages: Each page within the pack features a beautiful work of art from different time periods. From the serene Renaissance paintings to the bold and expressive strokes of the Impressionists, you'll experience wine through the ages. The artists' interpretations of wine, its cultural significance, and the emotions it evokes are beautifully portrayed in these coloring pages.

Unlimited Printing for Sharing: One of the best parts of this experience is the ability to print as many packs as you like (for non-commercial use). This means you can invite friends and family over to share in the joy of coloring these masterpieces. Each person can have their own set of coloring pages, allowing you to bond over creativity, wine, and good conversation.

Links to the Original Masterpieces: Dive deeper into the world of art history by exploring the original masterpieces online. We've provided direct links to these artworks, which are housed in museums around the world. It's a fantastic opportunity to compare your own interpretations with the works of the masters and gain a deeper appreciation for the art.

Enhance Your Coloring Experience: As a bonus, we've included extra materials to enrich your coloring adventure. These resources will not only make the process more enjoyable but also help you learn more about the artists, their techniques, and the historical context of the works you're coloring.

Hosting Your Wine & Coloring Party

Now that you've got your Wine in Art Coloring Pack in hand, it's time to start planning your wine and coloring party. Here are some tips to make it a memorable event:

• Choose a Variety of Wines: Select a few different wine varieties to cater to your guests' preferences. From reds to whites and even a sparkling option, ensure there's something for everyone. We live in wine country (Central Coast of California) and are partial to bold red blends (Janet) and Rhône white blends (Jenna).
• Artistic Ambiance: Set the mood with some soft lighting, background music, a great smelling candle, and perhaps even some art-related decor. Create an environment that's conducive to both creativity and relaxation.
• Art Supplies: Make sure you have plenty of coloring materials on hand. Colored pencils, markers, and crayons, as well as comfortable seating and a large table for spreading out coloring pages, are essential.
• Discuss and Share: Encourage your guests to discuss the art they are coloring. What do they see in the piece? How does it make them feel? It's an opportunity for some fascinating conversations.
• Enjoy the Process: Remember that it's not a competition; it's about enjoying the process and each other's company. Don't be afraid to take breaks to sip, chat, and, of course, admire your work.
• Share the Originals: Take some time to visit the original masterpieces online through your Page of Art History Portal (you'll be able to login after you have your pack). Compare your interpretations with the artists' versions, and gain a deeper understanding of the art.
• Capture the Memories: Don't forget to take photos to capture the fun and creativity of the evening. These memories are just as valuable as your finished coloring pages. Share them with your friends and with us by using #WineArtHistory and tag us @pageofarthistory!
