Meet Melanie

Melanie, your Melanie's Canvas and Cocktails host, painting at her easel
"Everyone walks out proud of what they made."

Melanie has been hosting paint nights in Riverside for years. She has a real gift for making everyone feel relaxed and welcome — whether you've never picked up a paintbrush or you craft every weekend. She brings everything: easels, canvas, paints, brushes. And her signature outline technique means everyone goes home with something they're actually proud to hang on the wall.

Here's what your night looks like

🗓️

Step 01

Pick a Night

Scroll down, pick a date, book your spot in 2 minutes. Then start looking forward to it — because this is going to be good.

✨

Step 02

Walk In & Feel It Immediately

The room is warm, the music is on, and your canvas is waiting. That feeling hits you the second you walk in the door.

🖌️

Step 03

Paint, Laugh & Surprise Yourself

Melanie walks you through every stroke. Before you know it you're laughing with the woman next to you and your painting is actually looking amazing. Every. Time.

🖼️

🤫 Melanie's little secret

Every canvas has a printed outline on it already — kind of like a really nice paint-by-number. You pick the colors, you do the strokes, you make it your own. The tricky part is already handled. That's why literally everyone walks out with something beautiful.

"But I can't paint!"
→ Yes you can. 😄

Less than a spa day. Way more fun.
