4. How do I get paint off of my clothing?
Upon first sight of paint on your clothing, head to any sink as soon as possible and run the stain under cold water until you have removed some or most of the paint. Apply dawn dish soap or laundry detergent and rub the affected fabric together with your hands. Throw in the wash. If the stain is still having trouble washing out, try rubbing with vegetable oil, acetone, or isopropyl alcohol. The paint used at this particular paint event is watered down for faster drying times, so it is unlikely that a stain should persist if you follow these steps right away.
5. How long does an event usually last?
Events last anywhere from 1-3 hours at a time. This is dependant on how big the group is, the canvas size, and if the event is held indoors or outdoors, as paint will dry quicker outdoors. Since paint is watered down for faster drying times, the event is hours shorter than it would have been if not for that.
6. How long does set up/take down take?
The artist will arrive 1-2 hours before the scheduled event time for set up. Clean-up usually takes around a maximum of 45 minutes.
