PLEASE NOTE: I use acrylic paint, which WILL STAIN any textile surface once it is dry (and many other surfaces as well). Please wear clothes you are OK getting paint on. Please protect any surfaces that you don't want paint on.
Please tell all your guests to do the same.
An 8x10 painting takes about 60-90 minutes to teach, depending on the size of the group, the complexity of the painting, and the people who are painting.
Plan for about 90 minutes of painting, but expect to be a little flexible. My goal is to stay as long as is needed (within reason) for every painter to have a good experience and walk away with a painting they are happy with.
You agree to provide the items on the list above under the heading "What You Provide."
You will have two adults (not including me, the instructor) present at the event at all times.
You promise to tell your guests that the paint we will be using is not washable.
You agree to the pricing listed on this website UNLESS we agreed in writing to different pricing. Then you agree to that pricing.
You agree to remit payment to me within 3 business days after the paint event takes place (cash, check, Venmo, or I can send an invoice for online credit/debit card payment). (Please don't be the person who doesn't pay me and forces me to change this policy.)
You agree that I am not responsible or liable for any paint stains whatsoever. You will indemnify me from any paint stains on your guests or their property.
You acknowledge that everyone's painting will look different. My demonstration painting will look different than the reference painting I brought. My demonstration and reference paintings may look different from any painting you saw on this site. Your painting will look different from my demonstration painting and reference painting.
You agree that I can ask painters to leave or end a paint party early (without issuing any refund) if I feel (in my sole, reasonable discretion) that any painter is being disrespectful or a danger to me, to my materials, or to other painters.
You agree that I am not responsible for any harm, tort, or claim that happens to occur at or arise from a paint party. This includes any harm, tort, or claim, but just for fun, here are some examples: exposure to chemicals in acrylic paint (I use basic acrylic paint from US art supply stores--I'm not worried about them harming anyone, this is just legal stuff); someone tripping over an easel and falling; someone getting paint in their eye, mouth, etc.; someone slipping on wet paint; someone getting stabbed by a paintbrush by a fellow jealous painter; someone getting shocked by a hairdryer while drying their painting; and so on. I am not liable for anything other than the things I can't legally absolve myself of liability for.
