“Paint your Partner” is a great get-together activity for families, friends, or lovers (painting on canvas, not bodies, lol). Class size is limited to 8, so register early!

Sit across from your partner and have fun capturing their essence either realistically (as you can), or maybe create cartoon features, or turn them into wizards, Super-Heros, or gnomes. Finally, reveal your masterpiece in our Judgment-Free zone. No experience is needed for this fun painting party.

We will be using acrylic paints on 11×14″ stretched canvas. You might want to bring a photo of your person also, but not a necessity. All materials provided. We have aprons, but you might not want to wear a treasured outfit, just in case…

Feel free to bring alcoholic or other beverages and snacks.
