Is This The Perfect Date Night?
Want to know one of my most frequently asked questions as a professional date night blogger?
What is your most repeated date?
I’m always happy to say not many! Aside from movie nights, we only have a few date nights that we’ve repeated many times, and this one, just may be the perfect date night.
There is something about couple’s painting class date that makes each fun date night experience so different every time we do it, we repeat it about every other year.
And here’s why we think you’ll love a couple’s painting experience as one of the best date night ideas whether it’s for a first date or your millionoth. A painting date night is great for couples at all stages and all ages!
Date Night Painting Class
If you’ve never heard of a date night painting class, here are the quick details.
It starts at a local art studio that will set up everything you need to create your own painting. They set up and provide the canvases, painting supplies, easel, palettes of acrylic paint, and every other material ready to paint.
Do you need to be an artist to do a paint night?
No, absolutely not! I think we love this so much because it’s so out of the box for us! An instructor will walk you through everything with instructions and a tutorial from start to finish. The less of an artist you are, the more exciting it may be to try something new!
Choose your own painting paint night
We have done two types of classes: a guided recreation where the entire class does one painting. Alternately, this time we did a “choose your own painting” where everyone in the class did their own painting.
Recreating a Famous Painting
There’s something really fun about recreating a famous masterpiece. We’ve done a few Van Gogh paintings, since he’s my favorite artist. In fact, we’ve done a guided tutorial to recreate a famous canvas painting more often than not. And truly, trying to make a perfect masterpiece yourself is its own kind of fun! I wouldn’t shy away from this type
Choose Your Own Painting
The painting parties where guests can choose anything they’d like is it’s own mood and fun time too!
For this date night, I was nervous it would feel chaotic or less like a class, so we decided we would do the same painting together. Much to my surprise, I think we enjoy the choose your own painting couple’s painting experience because it felt like a personal class for just the two of us.
It was more relaxed with a go-at-you-own pace feel. We found ourselves with more time to talk to each other, and less time watching a clock hoping to finish.
I’ve also seen many create a couples painting where the two canvases come together to make a full picture. Think two halves of a full moon, or a landscape that continues with your two paintings together. It’s a fun twist on a paint night for two!
Both couples’ painting experience options make for a great paint date night. I truly do not think you can go wrong!
Couple’s Painting Class
Jacob and I choose a space painting that used painting techniques that barely used paint brushes! We painted with paper towels, our fingers, sponges, and flicked paint onto the canvas. I’ve never felt so creative and out-of-the-box with an art project! We were surprisingly mature enough not to flick paint on each other. But there were plenty of laughs as paint-splattered and we tried new things.
I loved pulling out the paintbrush to add glitter paint at the end. It felt like an adult arts and crafts class. One that made us laugh, pushed out creativity, and had us try new things.
Paint Night at Home
Can you recreate a paint night at home? Absolutely you can! Grab your own canvases, watch some Bob Ross or youtube videos, and make your own art night happen at home!
There are also many painting kits with video tutorials meant for home dates. Check out our paint night at home for a fun option!
But it’s pretty easy to buy an art kit or make your own date night kits with paintbrushes, canvases, and some aprons.
Paint and Sip Date Night
We’re clearly big fans of a couples’ paint night for a date! I think you’ll have a different experience at every studio, with every painting, and on every date. That’s all the more reason this is such a perfect date that we’ve repeated, and will likely repeat again!
