Paint Night Stary Style

Have you ever done a Paint Nite? If you haven't I would suggest you try. I've been to about 5 now. I quite enjoy them. I feel like I'm getting in touch with my inner Bob Ross.

At one point in my life I worked at a PBS station and saw HOURS of his show. I hate his cabins but love everything else. I thought it was amazing how he could paint a fantastic picture in 30 minutes.

Well, these Paint Nites are closer to two.hours, but you still walk away with a pictured. AND it looks pretty good.

If you've never heard of a Paint Nite it is just when a group of people meet up at local restaurants, hotels, or other public gathering spaces have a drink or eat something with or without other friends or family and paint a predetermined pictures. 

I love knowing that I made it. Also, seeing it go from blotches and randomness to actually a picture. 

The paint night pictured above is slightly different from the rest for a few reasons.

1. I forgot what name I signed up with. I just recently got married and am in the process of changing my name. Well, they didn't have my maiden name on the list but they did a roll call and had my married name there. Oops.

2. I went alone. I was different. Most of the time I've been with friends but this time it was all me. It was only kind of nice because I could really focus on the painting but a bit quite. I did have some nice people around me though that did talk with me.

3. I stepped it up on difficulty. I went for a medium. I would say it wasn't too bad, I just was more confused on directions and could get behind much faster. It was still cool.

4. I had my drink the second half of the class/event. It was all good it helped the stress that was vuilding. 

I cannot say it is amazing but it is defantly one of a kind. I recommend everyone try and get out there and enjoy some canvas and paint.
