Pinot’s Palette: Paint, Sip, and Blacklight Reveal

Turn ordinary autumn tones into an electrifying, glow‑in‑the‑dark masterpiece at Pinot’s Palette; a guided paint night with artist Hada where fluorescent acrylics and blacklights create a jaw‑dropping after‑dark reveal. Paint a 16x20 canvas filled with vivid fall motifs; glowing leaves, neon pumpkins, and luminous sunset gradients; then watch as your work shifts from warm seasonal hues to surreal, otherworldly radiance when the blacklights come alive. Playful, surprising, and beginner‑friendly, this class invites bold color choices, dramatic brushstrokes, and carefree experimentation so every painter leaves with a gallery‑ready piece that literally glows.

Neon paints and blacklight reveal: Paint with vivid fluorescent pigments that read beautifully in room light and then explode into electric, photo‑ready color under blacklights for a dramatic after‑dark transformation.

Social studio vibe: Share the easel with friends, enjoy a curated playlist and upbeat studio energy, and choose from the bar’s wine, beer, and nonalcoholic options while you create.

Keepsake artwork: Leave with a gallery‑ready piece that glows in photos and under UV light, perfect for gifting, holiday décor, or showing off at your next get‑together.

Tips to make the most of it

Coordinate shots: Plan poses and matching pink/neon accents with friends to create cohesive group photos and fun backdrops.

Capture the glow: Photograph each piece in normal light and again under blacklight to show the dramatic before/after effect; use a tripod or steady surface for crisp shots.

Protect your art: Let paintings fully dry before stacking; carry a flat board or cardboard to keep canvases protected on the way home.
