Halloween Themed Paint Nights at The Rusty Palette

Erin T. WhalenLeave a comment

The month of October brings lots of fun events and for The Rusty Palette that means Halloween painting fun!

I will be teaching 2 separate paint nights and both will involve witches to celebrate this beautiful season.

October 9 …. Intermediate level hosted @thestudio
October 16 …. Begginer level hosted at Escada

“Booty-FULL Moon” “Casting”

Escada Restaurant and Bar will be hosting our paint night on October 16th with a begginers level painting named “casting”. This painting is fun and easy to complete so I will be adding an extra step to this particular one for a magical night. Before we begin to paint the background, each painter will write their own personal wish that will be granted once their magic sparkles have been painted in as seen in the short video below. In addition to having your wish granted you will also receive a complimentary beverage from Escada along with some crazy good dinner specials.

Purchase your ticket in the Art Shoppe now because our seats fill in very quickly.

@thestudio is our newest public paint night venue. ‘The studio” is a private function bar room where we will provide snacks and beverages for you as well as live accoustic music and some door prizes for our DEBUT paint night. You can certainly bring your own beverages if you prefer an alcoholic libation. The studio boasts a relaxed atmosphere which allows for a more advanced and intimate teaching. I highly recommend this venue if you are looking to learn more and up your art skills. The photos below will give you an idea of the process you will be experiencing. All tickets must be purchased prior to the event as there are no tickets sales at the door.

You can purchase your ticket in our art shoppe and please feel free to share this post using these:

House of Horrors Mural

Prints of original mural are available for purchase in my art shoppe

If you grew up in Rhode Island in the 70’s and 80’s you know all about the “Rocky Point” house of horrors

I did grow up in this time and I was honored when asked to paint this mural for the “Rocky Point Chowder House” in Warwick, RI back in 2018.

Before creating the 8’ x 4’ mural, I painted a small scale version for reference on canvas. This piece measures 31 1/2 x 12 1/2“. It was only intended to be a guide for me to work with while creating the mural however, I have decided to put it up for sale in my shop as I believe it will make a beautiful addition to anybody’s home that has a sense of nostalgia for Rocky Point park.

Small scale, acrylic painting on canvas is available for purchase in my
art shoppe

Prints of the original mural are for sale as well in my ART SHOPPE

Although Rocky point Park is a thing of the past us Gen-Xers will always have the good times in our hearts.

Thank you so much for taking the time to enjoy my artwork.

Creatively Yours … Erin
