![]() ![]() We had it just before Halloween, so I set up a little craft station where my guests could make their own paper plate sugar skulls too. One thing I know about hosting a painting party is that people will want to take breaks. There was even one of my coworkers who created her own zen backyard painting spot on the grass in my backyard. The point was-everyone was having fun and simply enjoying the relaxing and fun nature of painting. I had a couple who strayed completely from the instructions, from a glow-in-the-dark modern art Starry Night… It was so fun seeing how each painting took shape.Įven though the instructions and the template were the same, everyone’s had their own personal style come through. It is an easy surface to mix and keep your paints, and when your palette is full, you can simply throw it away and grab a new one. One tip is that I used regular paper plates as palettes for every one. As the host, I was the dispenser or paints, I washed out and refilled paint water cups, and I made sure everyone was hydrated and happy. I knew everyone would go at their own pace, and with this many people it was best way to keep the party moving. I prepped each art station with a set of brushes and the step-by-step instructions to follow along with. I call this my “color wheel” cake.Īfter everyone arrived, and they prepped their canvases by drawing on their template, we had a quick lunch before getting started. We ordered in food, and I had a veggie and fruit tray for lunch,Īnd I dressed up two bundt cakes with chocolate candies for dessert. I had a drink station with lemonade and tea for make-your-own Arnold Palmer drinks, and I had orange juice, Prosecco and pomegranate seeds for making your own mimosas. While I set up the easels outside in my backyard, I created different “stations” in my house. ![]() you forget to provide refreshments and food. This design might look intimidating, especially since I knew we had a every skill level of “artist” attending the painting party, but the key is the template and transfer paper included and the easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions.Īll the supplies for the actual painting part of the party came from Social Artworking, but if you are hosting a painting party. I took an office vote, and we decided on the Van Gogh inspired “Starry Night” design. There are so many designs to choose for any age group. Everything from easels, to canvases to paints and paintbrushes. Social Artworking is a hub or site where you can plan and order supplies for a painting party. How in the world did I pull that off, you might ask? Social Artworking® of course! We are a small but mighty group of 18, and that was how many people painted their own “Starry Night” masterpiece in my backyard recently. I’m part of the Quarto Kids team, and we also have a Quarto Creates team in house as well. When I am not sharing my creativity here on the blog, I work with a group of creative people producing a variety of inspiring, instructional, entertaining and high quality books for both kids and adults in the California office of Quarto Publishing. I have hosted a mother/daughter painting party before, but this one was a company-sponsored event. I recently hosted one in my own backyard! I keep seeing more “wine and painting parties” popping up or being offered at a variety of locations. Painting parties are so popular right now.
