Painting Classes for Couples to Try on Their Next Date Night

Painting Classes for Couples to Try on Their Next Date Night


By Jana Lepojevic

If your date nights are starting to look more like sweats and takeaway nights, you need painting classes. Not that there’s anything wrong with the occasional night in but sometimes as a couple, you need to shake things up and do something fun and new together. In fact, studies show that trying new things together can strengthen your relationship. Why you may ask? Well, aside from being exciting and injecting some freshness into a relationship, doing something novel together shows vulnerability on both sides, and vulnerability leads to intimacy. So if you’re both a little nervous about trying a painting class together, that’s normal! The key is to trust each other and open up to the experience. Plus, with a selection of classes to choose from, you can start with something you’re both interested in. From painting your furbaby in San Jose to popping some bubbles and experimenting with different mediums at an encaustic art class in Walnut Creek, you’ll be spoiled for choice. The best part is our art classes are so versatile, with different mediums, themes and activities so you don’t have to stop at just one and it’s a new experience every time!

It’s a great choice for a first date as any potentially awkward gaps in conversation can be explained away by a focus on painting, and the act of painting itself provides something to talk about! Whether it’s a first date or a 50th, a painting class in San Jose has got you. For couples who share a treasured fur baby, this paint your pet class in Santa Clara is a unique way to immortalize your precious pet and remind each other of all the love that flows through your home.
