What to Expect: At its core, a Wet Paint event is a social and creative experience. It’s not really about learning to paint – No experience is required! This is fun social event. But don’t worry, you’re not just set loose on the canvas. There’s a professional artists (art facilitator) to provide step-by-step instructions to reproduce a pre-selected work. These events last from one to two hours and begin with an introduction in which the facilitator preps you to begin your painting. You’ll learn about mixing colours, the application of paint on the canvas, and how to create good composition. Everyone in the group is working toward creating their own version of the same painting. The facilitator will lead your through the painting step-by-step, helping you to create the image yourself, and then while you’re working he or she will wander through the easels offering advice and answering questions.
• 🎨 Event Duration: Typically lasts one to two hours, providing the perfect time for a relaxed experience.
• 🖌️ Prepped and Ready: Upon your arrival, the room will be set up and ready for your creative journey. Canvases, brushes, and a vibrant array of paint will be at your disposal.
• 🎨 Affordable Creativity: The best part about Wet Paint Night is that you enjoy the artistic process without investing in expensive painting supplies. We’ve got you covered, so come ready to paint, have a great time, and let your creativity flow!
