Frequently Asked
Questions

Do I need painting experience?

No. Art Play’s guided painting sessions welcome beginners, with step-by-step guidance from an artist. If you prefer to do your own thing, choose an unguided FreeFlow session.

What is the difference between sip and paint and FreeFlow?

Sip and paint is a guided painting experience. FreeFlow is unguided, so you choose what to paint and work independently. Painting materials are provided for both.
