Last night Taylor & I went on a double date with our friends Ryan & Ashley. We started the date night just the two of us going to eat at Newk's. It has become a regular for our date night dinners. They have salads, soups, pizzas and sandwiches - delicious! Annnnnd they serve Coke Zero, awesome.
After dinner met Ryan & Ashley at Paint Party Studios here in Mobile. It was their monthly date night, which is what caught our attention intially. I think it may have been a blessing in disguise we didn't know about it before, because we both want to do it again! When we set our reservation we picked out our pictures from their website. Taylor chose a light house from Dauphin Island. I was really excited that he chose this lighthouse because I knew it would be a great picture and a great way to remember our time here in Mobile. I chose an artsy tree blowing in the wind. Mainly I just thought it was pretty :).
The employees at Paint Party Studios set up your station before you get there. They had the canvases out and had sketched the main lines of our photos. They also give you all the paint colors you will need and some brushes. They guide you through the process, what to paint first, what colors to use/mix, they are just very helpful. Taylor started on his sky and water first, and I followed suite by painting my sky and ground first.
I really did have a great time painting my photo, but I enjoyed watching Taylor paint even more. I don't think he even knew he could paint that well. Just watching him mix his colors and paint the oceans, it was incredible! I had some assistance with parts of my painting, I just wasn't very confident in my ability to make the swirling branches, and needed help getting started with other swirls. BUT Taylor did the entire painting on his own. Wonderful!
Here are our finished products! Also our friends finished paintings as well - kissing fish! Very cute!
We completed our date night with fro-yo (my favorite)! Cannot wait for our next date night!
