Cessnock Paint and Sip Recap: 112 Legends, a Peacock Party, and Lotti Rem Live

Cessnock, you absolute show-offs.

We rolled into town and somehow ended up with 112 people in the room, which is the kind of number that makes you question your life choices while setting up easels. But once the first brush hit the canvas, it was on. The whole night had that magic mix of “I’m just here for a laugh” energy and “wait, why is mine actually looking good?” surprise.

This one was loud, joyful, and properly community-feeling. The kind of night where strangers become table mates, table mates become hype squads, and everyone leaves with a painting they’re weirdly proud of.

Why Paint Juicy works so well in Cessnock

Cessnock crowds get it. You turn up ready to have fun, you back yourselves in, and you don’t need “paint night seriousness” to make something great. It’s a night out, not a lecture. People talk, sing, laugh, sip, paint, repeat. That’s the formula.

Also, your ability to commit to the moment is elite. Once the room warmed up, it stayed up.

The artwork: the peacock that turned into 112 different personalities

We painted our bold, vibrant peacock, and it was the perfect choice for a big room. Strong shapes, punchy colour, lots of room to make it your own.

Some went full neon chaos. Some kept it classy. Some created a peacock that looks like it has a mortgage and two kids. All valid. Every single one looked different, and that’s the best part.

Lotti Rem: human jukebox behaviour, in the best way

Lotti Rem was in cracking form, floating between big singalong moments and those little musical surprises that make people look up from their canvas like, “Hang on, this is actually a show.”

She kept the room moving the whole time, and by the end, nobody was pretending they “don’t dance”. You can lie to your friends, but you can’t lie to a room that’s just watched you fully commit.

The highlight reel

• 112 people seated and painting without someone ending up in the wrong chair, the wrong vibe, or accidentally engaged to a stranger

• Big laughs across the tables all night

• A proper singalong energy that kept building

• A room full of proud canvases at the finish line

• That end-of-night release where everyone finally lets loose

A few shout-outs

Massive love to the returning guests who keep showing up whenever we’re back in town. You’re basically the unofficial Paint Juicy street team at this point.
