Summer Paint Night Ideas

Summer paint nights can lean on a sunset and one object. The sky does the colour work. The object tells you it is summer. That split is why these finish on time.

Beach sunset

Horizontal bands from yellow to orange to blue. A darker blue band at the bottom is the water. A thin lighter line where they meet is the reflection. Add a tiny sail only if the sky is dry.

Watermelon

A big triangle or a half circle. Green rind, thin white line, pink centre, a few black seeds. It is graphic, it is obvious, and it is a strong birthday canvas in July.

Firefly jar

A simple jar outline, a dark blue background, and yellow dots inside the jar and a few outside. The dots are the fireflies. Do not draw wings.

Host your own paint night at The Imagination Hive in Milton, Ontario.
