BYO painting in NZ's most beautiful parks 🍃

Enjoy a relaxed, beginner-friendly outdoor painting class in some of New Zealand’s most beautiful parks and green spaces. Our expert Paintvine artists guide you step-by-step through an acrylic painting, with plenty of room for your own creative touches. It’s the perfect way to experience the joy of painting, while soaking up the fresh air!

What to Bring (and What We Provide!) 🎨

BYO your favourite drinks (hello wine in the sun!) and snacks. We recommend bringing a sunhat, sunblock, a picnic rug or fold-up chair so you’re comfortable while painting. Make sure you bring water or non-alcoholic drinks too – it can get hot outside! We’ll supply all the painting gear – canvases, brushes, aprons – and take care of the clean-up. Simply settle in, sip, snack and enjoy a carefree outdoor painting session.

The perfect summer day out ☀️

In this sunny 2 hour painting session, you’ll take on the techniques of acrylic’s lead by our expert Paintvine artists. With sunshine, good company and a splash of creativity, Paintvine in the Park is the ultimate summer activity. Come paint the day away with us this summer!

Frequently-asked questions

What happens if it rains?
We will make a rain/weather call 24 hours before the event is due to start. If we decide to move the event, we'll arrange for it to take place at one of our partner venues. If we're unable to accomodate this Paintvine credit will be issued to use at another Paintvine event over the next 12 months.

Can I bring Alcohol?
Yes! You are welcome to bring any drinks you would like, but make sure you drink responsibly.

What will I need to bring?
We recommend bringing a sunhat, sunblock, a picnic rug or fold up chairs to sit on so you are comfortable while painting. Make sure you bring water, or non-alcoholic drinks as well, because it can be hot outside! You are welcome to bring any food you like.

Will you provide easels?
We don't provide easels, because it is much more comfortable to paint on the ground, or with your painting on your knees. It can get breezy, so be sure not to wear clothing with flowing sleeves that can make it's way into the paint!

Do I need to know how to paint?
Absolutely not! It's okay if you've never painted anything but your walls - there's no experience necessary and fun is our only requirement. All our events are friendly, judgement-free zones, so you can experiment with art in a fun, safe space.

Where do we meet?
Directions on where to meet for painting will be provided inside the event itself, if you have any confusion just ask our staff.

What time does the event start?
