If you’ve been looking for something different to do this week, we’ve got three beginner-friendly paint nights that are all about slowing down, trying something creative, and spending a few hours making something with your own hands.

Whether you’re coming with friends, planning a date night, or simply treating yourself to a creative evening, every Artvana class is designed for beginners. No experience is needed—we’ll guide you step-by-step from a blank canvas to a finished painting you’ll be proud to take home.

Tuesday: Paint a Sea Turtle in Lacey

Join us in Lacey as we paint one of our most-loved coastal designs—a beautiful sea turtle swimming through vibrant blue water.

This relaxing class is perfect for anyone who loves the ocean, marine life, or simply wants an enjoyable evening away from screens and everyday stress. You’ll receive all of the supplies you need, along with friendly instruction that makes painting approachable for everyone.

Whether it’s your first class or your fiftieth, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind painting and a memorable experience.

Sunday at McMillin Farm: Honeycomb & Bee

Spend part of your Sunday surrounded by the charm of McMillin Farm while painting a cheerful honeycomb and bee design.

This class celebrates the beauty of nature with warm golden tones and whimsical details that make the finished painting feel bright, happy, and perfect for late summer. It’s a wonderful outing for friends, couples, families, or anyone who simply enjoys supporting local farms and businesses while trying something creative.

Sunday in Tenino: Purple Haze

Also on Sunday, we’ll head to Tenino for one of our favorite mountain landscapes—Purple Haze.

Featuring layered mountains beneath a colorful evening sky, this painting is both relaxing to create and stunning to display at home. Even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush before, our instructors will walk you through every step at a comfortable pace.

It’s a reminder that creativity isn’t about being perfect—it’s about enjoying the process.

Why So Many People Come Back

People often tell us they came for the painting but returned because of the experience.

Artvana classes bring people together to laugh, unplug, meet new friends, celebrate special occasions, and discover a creative side they didn’t know they had. Every class is welcoming, encouraging, and designed to help you leave feeling happier than when you arrived.

If you’ve been meaning to try something new this summer, we’d love to paint with you.

We hope to see you at an easel this week!
