Virtual Date Night with Painting to Gogh
Looking to host a fun, virtual date night?
Just because you’re in a long-distance relationship, it doesn't mean you can't have a romantic date night together! We make it easy and safe to host a virtual couple’s art night.
Painting to Gogh will ship acrylic painting kits directly to you and your partner at home, supply links to our on-demand and professionally taught art lessons, and provide everything you need to host a virtual date night from the comfort and safety of your own home!
4 easy steps to hosting a couple’s art night, virtually
Step 1: Select your art kits and place 2 separate orders.
You and your partner should each select a painting from our catalog and order the Solo Studio Kit. You'll need to place one order to your address and one order to your partner's address. The art kit contains all the art supplies you need to create your own masterpiece, including a quality brush set and even an easel.
Having trouble agreeing on a painting? With Painting to Gogh, that’s not a problem! You and your date can each select the painting of your choice. Both of you will receive the art materials at home in 3 to 4 days.
Step 2: Choose when/where to host your couple’s paint night
It’s time to start planning your virtual painting date. Begin by selecting a time that’s convenient for each of you. We recommend setting aside a minimum of two hours. This will allow time for your paint to dry, to revisit sections of the tutorials you might have missed, or to simply catch up with your partner.
Step 3: Watch our date night painting tutorials
Next, figure out how you will virtually paint with each other.
Our streaming video tutorials will be sent via email link. When you are ready for the date to start, play the tutorial on any internet-connected device (phone, computer, tablet, Apple TV, Chromecast).
You have a number of options at your disposal to paint together; we recommend communicating via video — whether that’s a meeting platform like Zoom or an app like FaceTime.
If you are painting the same tutorial, one person can simply share their screen on a platform like Zoom to watch the tutorial together. If you are painting different paintings, all you have to do is play the tutorial on one device and talk to each other on a second device as you paint.
Pro-tip: Look at the paint night tips link included in the box in advance. The paint night tips will tell you break times where you need to let your paint dry. These breaks are the perfect opportunity to plan special surprises your partner will love.
Step 4: Have fun
That brings us to the final and most important step: add your own touches and have a blast! Here are just a few examples of how you can add a little fun to your event:
- Order a meal from your favorite restaurant or try world-class cuisine using a food-shipping service like Goldbelly
- Send your partner a matching wine and cheese kit to enjoy as you paint
- Plan activities during the breaks. If it’s a new relationship, consider some fun ice breakers.
Your date will be so much fun, you'll want to do it again! We've got you covered for that too - repeat customers only need to order our Essentials Kit.
