Australia’s Most Fun Paint and Sip: Meet Paint Juicy

Quick crossover from Pets Juicy. We co-run a sister business called Paint Juicy, an upbeat paint and sip company running sessions right across Australia, the Gold Coast included. If you've ever fancied a night out where you walk away with a finished canvas and a story worth telling, this one's for you.

Why Paint Juicy works

• A friendly host artist walks the whole room through it, step by step.
• Everything supplied: canvas, paints, brushes and aprons.
• Proper venues with good food, drinks and parking.
• Beginner-friendly, and confident painters can go off-script whenever they like.
• Grab food and drinks at the bar and bring them back to your easel.

The themes

A different theme every session, so it never goes stale. A few of the favourites:

• Paint Your Pet: turn your dog's photo into wall art. Send a clear front-on shot, the team sketches the outline before you arrive, and you focus on the colours, markings and that head-tilt personality.
• 70s and 80s Singalong: big choruses, bright neon palettes, full retro chaos. The finished wall looks like an album cover.
• Karaoke Paint and Sip: warm up the vocals, then paint between verses. The brushstrokes get bolder as the night goes on.
• Seasonal sets: coastal scenes, florals, animal portraits, sunset silhouettes and rotating limited-edition collabs.

How a session runs

• A solid three hours, start to finish.
• Step-by-step guidance from a working host artist.
• Paced around drying time, so there's room to grab food and drinks between layers.
• You walk out with the finished canvas. Always yours, never a copy of the demo.

Private events

Paint Juicy runs private sessions for hens parties, birthdays, team building and community nights.

What's included:

• Host artist, all materials, setup and pack-down.
• Choice of artwork from the gallery, or a custom brief.
• Time at the end for photos so everyone gets the hero shot.

What you provide:

• Tables, chairs and decent lighting.
• Access to water and power.
• A start time that lets the paint dry before cake or speeches.

For Pets Juicy regulars

If your dog is your favourite living thing, start with Paint Your Pet. Send a clear front-on photo and the outline will be ready when you arrive. You choose the background colours, fur markings, eye colour and any other details. It's a brilliant gift for a dog person and a guaranteed conversation starter on the wall afterwards.

Pets Juicy regulars get the odd exclusive Paint Juicy invite and first dibs on new dates by email, so keep an eye on your inbox.

Note: most Paint Juicy sessions run in licensed venues, so dogs don't usually attend. Outdoor pop-ups occasionally allow it where local rules permit. The art still goes home to the same couch your dog already owns.

Where they run

Regular dates across Queensland and New South Wales with pop-ups further afield. The Gold Coast page lists current venues and upcoming sessions.
