See Why Valentine’s Day Painting Is The Date on Everybody’s Lips...

Welcome to the world of Paint Night, where creativity meets romance, and every brushstroke brings you closer to your special someone! Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and if the thought of grabbing another cliché box of chocolates makes you cringe, you're in the right place.

Perhaps you've looked into date night ideas already. Maybe you haven't given Valentine's Day a second thought. But we guarantee that every guide you pull up will mention couples' paint and sip parties when you do. And as the real Paint Night, we very much heart the idea.

So, if you're unfamiliar with them or uncertain whether they're for you, we're here to spill all the tea. We're not just your average paint and sip. We're the fun Valentine your love life didn't know it needed.

What Is a Paint and Sip Party?

There's a paint and sip party, and then there's Paint Night. Both involve a step-by-step painting tutorial and painting techniques to create a beautiful piece of art. Both involve drinking (traditionally wine, but we won't judge if you prefer something else). But only Paint Night works with local bars and restaurants and has original Valentine's Day painting ideas submitted by its artists.

And here's the best part—we offer three ways to experience our sip and paint parties: locally in person, virtuallywant (live), and on-demand (pre-recorded). We're all about giving you options to make your Valentine's Day uniquely yours.

The aim of the game here is to:

• Get out
• Try something new
• Have fun
• Spend quality time with your special someone
• Make memories

In a sense, you can make these Valentine's Day events your own. We don't think of them as painting classes, but that's not to say you won't learn anything—you will! Whether you aim to impress your date with your artistic skills or just want some flirtatious fun, we've got you covered.

What To Expect at a Valentine's Painting Date Night

You can expect a lively and entertaining evening filled with creativity, laughter, and oh-so-much fun. An experienced artist will lead the way, so even if you've never picked up a paintbrush, you'll have a masterpiece in no time…well, that's the plan!

Bring your sense of humor and creativity, and leave your worries at the door. All your art supplies are on us, from canvas to paint. And the cherry on top? You'll be walking away with a memento of all your romantic fun.

But Don't We Need To Be Good at Painting or Something?

Hell no! This is an easy step-by-step canvas painting party. You heard us right—this isn't a class. It's a party. And no painting experience is needed.

We aim for you to leave cheesing from ear to ear, closer to the person you come with. And sure, have something on your canvas, but that's totally up to you! It doesn't even have to be the design we're sharing. If you've got your own Valentine's Day sip and paint ideas but want to join us for the atmosphere, that's fine by us!

Is Paint Night for Me, and Will My S.O. Like It?

1. Do you enjoy trying new things?
2. Don't take yourself too seriously?
3. Want to spice things up in your relationship?

Then Paint Night might just be your perfect date night! And mark our words: you'll be back for another one of our crafts or activities ;)

Are Paint Parties Good for a First Valentine's?

A painting date is perfect for new romances and Valentine's celebrations. Here's why:

• No awkward silences—conversations are almost handed to you.
• There's something to break up the eye contact.
• They help you let your guard down.
• There's food and drink to help you relax.
• You will laugh. A LOT.

Is a Couple's Paint and Sip Romantic?

It's as romantic as you want it to be. We have a variety of Valentine's paintings and non-Valentine paintings for you to choose from.

Now, if you're looking for cool couples painting ideas, you've got to try our couples canvas paintings. You'll each paint half a design on separate canvases, and in the words of the Spice Girls, two become one.

Can I Do A Sip and Paint Date Night At Home?

Prefer to do it at home (wink, wink)? Sign up for a virtual or on-demand sip and paint party so you and your Valentine don't have to leave the house.

Get in the drinks, snacks, and music, and you've got yourself one fun-filled night. Whether you have the camera on or off is up to you!

Perks of a Paint Night At Home

1. More intimate: No crowds = no boundaries!
2. Convenience: No need to travel
3. Personalization: Pick your own food and music
4. Cost-effective: Tickets, food and drink are less

What Do I Need for a Paint Date?

In-Venue

If you're heading to an in-person event, you only need to cover your ticket and then food and drinks from the venue. You'll find all the painting supplies you need at the event, including aprons.

At Home

For a virtual Paint Night, you can paint on and paint with anything you like—it doesn't have to be a canvas or the colors we're using. We've had people paint doors and all kinds of shenanigans!

But if you do want to stick with the same materials as us, here's what you'll need for your Valentine's Day art project:

• Canvas (we'll be using a 16x20)
• Acrylic paints: Blue, yellow, black, red, and white
• Paintbrushes: Large, medium, small, and preferably a flat brush
• Paint palette (a paper plate, recycled cardboard, or plastic work)
• Cup of water in something you can wash/dispose of at the end
• Protective apron or old t-shirt to keep your favorite outfits fresh

Don't want the hassle of searching for your own supplies? We've got you, boo...

What do you wear on a painting date?

When it comes to dressing for a painting date, comfort and protection are key! Keep it cozy and stylish, but save the red carpet look for another day. And if you're painting from home, don't forget to throw on a trusty apron or an old T-shirt. We're all about keeping it stain-free, but accidents do happen.
