What's a Paint Party?

Social Painting classes at Heart for Art Wellington


A P
aint Party (or a "social painting event") is a great way to have fun with friends while creating a painting.

Join an In Studio Paint party and we'll provide you with everything you need, including easy to follow, step by step, instructions from our artist to create your painting from start to finish. Best of all, you'll get to take home your masterpiece to hang on the wall and say "Wow, I painted that" every time you see it.

It's a super laid back atmosphere and a great way for you to find your creativity in a safe and supportive space while socialising with others who are painting for the first time too. 

Or if you'd rather paint from the comfort of home, grab an On Demand Painting Tutorial and get instant access to the full supply list and step by step video tutorial.

So what happens at a Paint Party?

Paint Parties are a super FUN and creative way to unwind and try something new.

At your Paint Party you'll enjoy a guided painting session created especially for people who've never painted before or feel they lack any creative ability. If you think you're not creative or artistic - we're here to change that and help you unleash your inner artist. 

Each Paint Party features a specific painting and with our step-by-step guidance just about any non-artist will be able to create the painting, so there's no need to feel nervous that yours wont look like everyone else's. 

We've created paintings that everyone will be able to finish within the 3-4 hour session. Just bring an open mind and the ability to have fun and we'll make sure you leave with a finished painting you'll be proud to hang on your wall.

We hope to paint with you soon. Book your Paint Party now.

What's the format?

    Arrive 15 minutes before your Paint Party starts. That'll give you time to grab a refreshment, mingle and get settled in. We'll give you a paint shirt to wear so you wont get paint on your clothes. And just to make it fun and get you in the mood they're "loud" paint shirts. If there's time, you can choose what music you'd like to listen too.

    Painting happens. Our artist will give you step by step guidance to paint the featured painting. We'll give you plenty of time to complete each step and give one-on-one guidance where we can. Our paintings are created especially for people who've never painted before 

    Half time, break time. Take a short break and grab a complimentary refreshment and snack ... or keep going. It can be pretty exciting when you discover your creativity and you might not want to stop. Up to you.

    More painting happens. We've created paintings that everyone will be able to finish within the 3-4 hour session. We'll keep you on track to make sure you leave with a finished painting you'll be proud to hang on your wall.

    Group photo. We'll snap a shot (or 2) to record the momentous day you found your Heart fo Art and became an artist. 

    Go home and hang your painting and be impressed by your achievement every time you walk past it thinking "WOW I painted that, awesome."
