In studio sessions are 45 minutes – plan for 15 minutes after for clean up and pictures.  On site sessions will vary depending on the event. 

Great question! When you book your session, we will discuss colors, sizes, and add on possibilities. At your scheduled in person painting session, your group or family will start working with Tiki’s guidance on the blank canvas you choose.   The fun starts as you set intentions, write them on the canvas, and then paint the base layers together. Bring any ‘momentos’ that you would like to add.  This is YOUR Canvas of Memories!!  You don’t need to be nervous about what is actually painted on the canvas at this point,  it’s all about having fun!  After the session,  Tiki  will discuss with you how much or how little you’d like to “show” of what your painters contributed.  For instance, the final piece of artwork can have a sheer layer over some parts and others can be enveloped in layers of paint.   When Tiki is working to finalize your ‘visual symphony’, she will reach out to see if you have any special requests!  After all-this is YOUR Canvas of Memories!  We want you to LOVE every step of the process!  We will book an appointment with you to pick up your painting.  Delivery is possible if you prefer. 

Turnaround time is approximately 2-3 months from the date of your session.  The timeline might be shortened if we make arrangements ahead of time.

They are never too young! Any age can do it, the product is just different. Babies create great booty marks and a crawling mess, but as they get older, they will try to use a brush and their hands to spread it around. The older they are, the more intentional their marks will be. We require that a parent or guardian stays for the entire duration of the session.

You can have as many participants as you want!  If we paint at an event (wedding/ Corporate/ holiday/Anniversary),  it will have a different ‘feel’ than a studio session. If you want to do it at the studio with a larger number of people, we can discuss the logistics and come up with something fun that works for everyone.

Anything comfortable and that you don’t mind getting paint on (it WILL happen, and it WON’T come out, trust me!)
