Under the guidance of renowned artist Dita Stepanova, an enthusiastic group of participants gathered for a Sip &amp; Paint experience, an afternoon where brushstrokes and wine took center stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 3:00 PM, the event welcomed people who, beyond seeking technique, arrived with the desire to connect with their own sensitivity.
