When you snag a ticket to A Fun Night of Painting at Capital One Bank, you're in for a full night of creativity with friends. For $45, you'll get everything you need to create your own masterpiece, including paints and a canvas, all the pizza you can eat, and instruction from local artist Amanda Hawthorne. All you have to bring is yourself, plus a bottle of wine if you'd like to sip as you paint.

Starting at 6:30 p.m., Amanda will guide guests through the steps of creating a piece called Snowy Starry Night. The painting displays a wintry scene of a snow-dusted forest illuminated by the soft glow of a massive moon. Even if you aren't naturally artsy, you'll have little trouble creating this portrait with the help of Amanda. She takes attendees through the process step by step. When you leave, you can take your new work of art with you—which means you'll leave with both fun memories and a piece of decor for your apartment.
