Host a Paint Night!
Options for Adults, Couples, Families and Children
Whether you consider yourself an advanced artist or have never held a paintbrush, paint nights are a wonderful way to explore your inner artist and unleash your creativity in a fun, social atmosphere. Paint nights typically last 2-3 hours. I will work with you to develop a paint night or class that is suited to your group's unique needs and tastes. Choose a painting you'd like to create from the selections provided or inquire about other options. Classes for adults, families, teens and children are available. Please see below for information on rates.

Venues for paint nights are typically determined by the host and include private residences, businesses or community centers and other public buildings.
Materials
All materials are included in the cost of the class. This includes pre-stretched canvases, acrylic paint and brushes. Canvas size is typically 12"x16", although some paintings, including split-canvas designs, call for other dimensions.
Currently, up to 15 table-top easels are available for paint nights. Beyond this, easels will need to be provided by the host or a small fee may be negotiated to offset the cost of acquiring additional easels.
