<p>After making a splash in the US, painting parties have now become de rigueur for art-loving enthusiasts, who are flocking to trendy eateries and bars across the city</p>

If you happened to walk into Chaayos in Lower Parel on the evening of July 23, you would have encountered a strange sight. Gone was all the paraphernalia from the tables, and, in its place, was a row of canvases mounted on easels. Canvases on which people were engrossed in recreating the hypnotic swirls as seen on Van Gogh's masterpiece, The Starry Night, with a brush in one hand, and a drink in the other.
