Multiple people can paint along per ticket, but we will only be able to critique and help out with one painting per feed. You will receive as much or as little instruction as you prefer. No artistic experience is necessary...just a good attitude. Use your own painting supplies, or you may purchase a paint kit with all necessary materials from Forever Stoked.
To reserve a ticket ($30) and purchase a paint kit ($35) visit Foreverstoked.com
Recommended materials are - Canvas, paint (dark and light colors) and a small set of different size brushes. There will be a 15 minute guest speaker leading into the start of the painting.
You will receive an email with more details and login information one week prior to the Paint Party. We look forward to sharing a fun and unique painting experience with you all!
