5 Paint Party FAQ’s
Do you want to start a painting party but just don’t know where or how to get started? Here are some of the most common answers to questions that you might have about hosting a paint party!
1. How Much Do Art Supplies Cost to Teach Paint Parties?
How much you spend on art supplies for your painting party classes is completely up to you. This is one of the most common paint party FAQ’s that I get all of the time!
There is a wide variety of painting supplies available and you can choose what brand fits your budget the most.
If you shop at places like Hobby Lobby or Amazon, you can get some great deals on painting supplies. I love going to Michaels too – just don’t forget your coupon. 😉

2. How Much Should I Charge for a Paint Party?
Another one of the paint party FAQs that you might have is how much to charge for a painting party.
This will be mainly up to you and how much you think the party is worth, but prices often vary between $25 and $50.
This often depends on what kind of project the painting party is focusing on. Whether it be painting canvases, door hangers, porch learners, or art kits.
Whatever you do – do NOT undercharge or undervalue yourself! You are worth the cost and your art will bring joy to your students.

3. How Do I Know What Designs are “on-trend”?
If you are worried about what kind of designs are trendy for your painting party, there are several things that you can do.
Pinterest is a great way to see what designs are trending as well as youtube or Google. These places will all feature popular painting designs.
Additionally, there are classic seasonal designs that come back year after year. A snowman or a reindeer, for example, will always be “trendy” during Christmas!
