An artistic endeavor doesn’t have to be physically confined to a formal art class anymore. Social painting makes for an enjoyable and memorable gathering that doesn’t burn a hole in the pocket either.
Paint parties have become quite a trend in recent times. The concept emerges from taking artistic activities to a social milieu and adding an element of fun to it. It’s not just about an art class in a centre anymore. The mobile paint night can be conducted anywhere from your home, backyard or office to a local pub or even a garden.
The artist who conducts the paint party is willing to come to your doorstep of choice so that you can paint in a comfortable venue and involve your friends and family as well. In fact, while regular party themes have become passé, a paint party can add some jazz to any event – be it a birthday party, baby shower, bridal shower, bachelorette party, a girls’ night out or even team-building events and other corporate gatherings. What’s more, a paint night can spice up a date night too! People are choosing to host paint parties for family get-togethers or even just for some fun.
The best part of a paint night is that it is very easy to arrange. You book the class at a time and venue of your choice. The artist will arrive at least half an hour prior to the scheduled time to set up the easels and other items. They usually provide all the essential supplies like canvases, paints, brushes and even aprons and tablecloths. You can even choose to have the painting done on planter pots, glass bottles, ceramics or other such objects. All you have to do is arrange the food and drinks you want and music if you wish.
The paint night usually lasts for around 1 or 2 hours (take your pick). The artist will guide the gathering through the steps for the painting without making it too stringent or restrictive. You can relax and enjoy yourself as the guests immerse themselves in the experience even as they eat, drink and make merry.
It makes for a fun time and the guests can take their unique masterpieces home with them as a memorable souvenir. You don’t have to worry about cleaning up the mess either, as the organizing team will do the clearing as well.
And the party doesn’t really cost much either. In fact, a mobile paint night is pretty pocket-friendly, especially when compared to the bomb that parents spend on hosting regular birthday parties for their children.
So, do not hesitate to take the art you or your kids love out of the usual setting and move it to an informal plane. It’s a great way to keep children occupied and doing something productive. It also makes for a novel experience for adults as they get to call up their hidden creativity and create something that they will be proud of!
