Go Fund Me

Here is something I am trying out! A new way to find freelance work and put more to my student loans! Check it out! You can always message me if you have any projects you want me to do. This could be a complete disaster but I'm always trying different ways to get my work out there!  http://www.gofundme.com/dimx3g

Mini Paintings!

While I am teaching, I'm allowed to set out a"tip" can. It is always awkward asking for money, especially when the tickets are already bought and customers have a food/drink bill. One way I have been successful at bringing attention to the tip can is by making mini paintings! I announce at the end that tips are welcome, and if they happen to tip more than $10, they can take a mini painting. 

Last night was my 50th event! I did not even announce that, and with only 15 people sign up I was completely shocked  when I counted well over $100 in my tip can. Only one person took a mini painting , yet my can had multiple 20 bills and 10 bills. I felt accomplished and proud that I gave everyone a great paint experience and I was more proud of how everyone's paintings turned out! 

Paint Nite Group Photo

When I'm teaching a Paint Nite event I try to get unique and fun photos. Here are some of my favorite group photos. It is difficult sometimes to encourage everyone to get together but this photo was a success! Only 10 people were missing but we still had a great evening! 

Paint Nite arm Painting

Silly photos from an event the other night. I thought it would be fun to paint the painting on myself! The customers seemed to enjoy it and it was certainly a good conversation starter.

Tattoo?

Sometimes I think I have to much fun at my job!

Paint Nite Super Power!

Never would have thought I would be teaching people who have never held a paint brush to paint like this after 2 hours! This has to be the best super power!! It is so amazing how different all of these came out when given the same instructions.

Paint Nite Paintings

Here are some more paintings I have created for "Paint Nite" and I'm hoping to teach them within the next few months! I'm very excited for these (maybe not the cat as much), but I am getting a better feel for what customers/beginner painters like to paint!
