FAQS
What is Evolve Paint & Sip?
Evolve Paint & Sip is a paint party business where I bring the full paint party experience to you. Classes are designed for all skill levels, and I provide everything needed for a complete 2 to 3 hour guided painting experience.
Do I need any painting experience to join a class?
Not at all. My classes are beginner friendly, but experienced painters are always welcome too. I guide everyone step by step so you can relax, enjoy the process, and leave with a painting you feel proud of.
Where do your classes take place?
Public paint classes are now hosted at my new home base, the Garage Door Studio, located in the same building as New Outlook Dental in downtown Westcliffe. I also host paint parties at select venues around Westcliffe and Cañon City and can bring the experience to private locations such as homes, businesses, or event spaces.
How do I sign up for a class?
You can sign up for upcoming classes directly on my website under the "Future Classes" section. I usually offer 1 class per month.
What’s included in the price?
All painting materials are included in your ticket price, including canvas, paint, brushes, and aprons. Bottled water, hot tea, and hot cocoa are always provided. You are also welcome to bring your own food and drinks, including alcohol.
How many people can attend a private party?
Private parties require a minimum of 6 participants, and the host paints for free. The Garage Door Studio comfortably fits up to 20 painters. For off site private events, I can accommodate up to 25 participants, depending on the location.
Do you offer kids' paint parties?
Yes! I offer fun and engaging kids paint parties perfect for birthdays and special celebrations. I adjust the painting style and instruction to be age appropriate.
Can you customize the painting for my private event?
Yes. I am licensed to teach designs by Tracie Kiernan through Step by Step Painting, and I offer a wide variety of her designs to choose from. These are usually the best option for private events, but I am always happy to talk through ideas and help find the right painting for your group.
What should I wear to a paint party?
I recommend wearing comfortable clothing you don’t mind getting a bit of paint on. Aprons will be provided!
How long does a class last?
Most paint parties last about 2.5 - 3 hours, depending on the design and group size.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Yes. If your class is held at the Garage Door Studio, you are welcome to bring your own food and drinks, including alcohol. I do not have a refrigerator, but I do provide a small table for food and drinks. For off site classes, food and drink policies may vary and will be noted in the class details.
