text: I have done several Paint Nites in Pittsburgh at Local and Steel Cactus It is really fun a genius idea Very entertaining to see your friends artistic skills and look at other peoples painting too Very unique for a date night or a girls night out and you can make new friends there too nThere are some frustrations such as the temperature when it is winter the events are typically held in the upstairs deck areas of the barrestaurant which are covered in the winter but not heated They bring portable heaters but it was still unbearably cold of the times I went It can also be hard to get a good seat a lot of people end up unable to see the model painting And it can be hard to hear her explaining too my friends and I are always going what what but then we just do whatever we feel like so it works out And at the end we are alwyays sitting around for min trying to get our painting to dry before we put it in our vehicles Not that the Paint Nite people could invent rapiddrying paint just sayin that that is something to think about I usually take away part of a cheap plastic tablecloth they put out and lay my painting on top of that in my trunk nIts really a great time and you come away with a painting you could hang in your house My first painting was terrible actually but you get the hang of it eventually so I have good ones out of events
