Tarot and Star Sign Paint and Sip in Orange Recap

Tarot, Star Signs & Paint Water That Looks Suspiciously Like Pinot

Our Orange crowd rolled in for back-to-back sessions that capped at 30 per sitting and absolutely refused to finish on time. It was the kind of afternoon that hums: clinking glasses, quiet gasps during readings, and canvases filling with galaxies, auras and tiny gold stars. Beginner friendly, woo-curious and full of “I didn’t think I could paint that” wins.

Setting the Vibe

Warm lights, cosmic playlists and tables laid with brushes, palettes and a pre-sketch of each guest’s zodiac symbol to make the first brushstrokes easy. Your paint water looked like pinot, the room looked like a nebula, and everyone looked relieved that creativity didn’t require perfection.

The Opening Circle: Colours, Symbols, Meaning

James and Daniella kicked off with a quick tour of the zodiac. Not a lecture, a vibe check. What each sign represents, what energies it carries, and the colours that tend to amplify that mood.

• Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): scarlets, tangerines, molten gold.

• Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): moss, ochre, eucalyptus green.

• Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): glacial blues, pearl, soft lavender.

• Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): inky teal, indigo, sea-glass mint.

Palettes had purpose before the first sip. You could stick with your sign’s palette or go rogue. Creativity doesn’t care about your rising.

Your Canvas, Your Rules

We set you up with a clean pre-sketch so you could glide through the early steps. But this is Paint Juicy, not art school. If you wanted to paint a cosmic mermaid for Pisces or gold-leaf a Scorpio tail, you did it. Step-by-step guidance sat right next to do-what-you-like freedom, because both are valid and both lead to magic.

Technique Time: Make It Glow

Trent took the mic for the art bits, showing how to:

• Build fluffy auras with soft, circular blends that look like energy fields.

• Float galaxy backgrounds using three tones, a damp brush and light pressure.

• Add tiny starbursts with a round brush and the faintest tap of metallic paint.

• Create constellation dots that read clean from across the room.

• Use colour halos around symbols so they seem to lift off the canvas.

It was simple on purpose. Intermediate painters found their flow; first-timers found out they’re not actually bad at this, they just needed the right method.

The Tarot Table

Between layers, guests slipped over to Daniella’s velvet-draped table for a personal reading. Questions whispered, cards turned. That delicious hush fell, then the ripple of laughter when the message landed a bit too accurately. Every guest got a moment. Not heavy, not spooky. Just insight with a wink.

Common themes of the day: backing your creativity, trusting timing, releasing the need to control every brushstroke, and letting good things take up space on the canvas and in life. It’s funny how often the Queen of Wands shows up when there’s a paintbrush in every hand.

The Room In Motion

The energy moved like the tide. Paint, sip, reading. Paint, sip, sing along to the chorus. Friendships formed between strangers comparing constellations. The bar kept the cocktails flowing; the canvases kept getting better. Every now and then someone yelled, “I just did a good star!” which is exactly the point.

Stand-Out Moments

• A Pisces guest split their canvas into a whirlpool with twin mermaids circling a trident.

• A Virgo turned the symbol into an Egyptian-style portrait blooming from a field of spirals.

• Scorpios went dramatic, obviously, with red tails cutting through stardust.

• Libras balanced their scales with twin colour auras, because aesthetics.

• A Leo painted a galaxy mane that deserved its own hair commercial.

Why This Format Works

It’s structured enough to relax into and open enough to feel personal. The pre-sketch removes the terror of starting. The colour chat gives immediate direction. The techniques are simple and repeatable. The Tarot reading invites meaning. Put it together and you’ve got art that feels like it belongs to you, not to a tutorial.

Beginner Friendly, Woo-Curious Welcome

You don’t need to “be creative” to enjoy this. If you can stir a drink, you can blend a galaxy. If you can dot an i, you can dot a constellation. We keep pace steady and instructions clear so you can sing, sip and still walk out with an artwork you’re proud to hang.

The Final Gallery Walk

We love the end. Easels line up, phones come out, and there’s a small parade past each canvas. Gasps for the metallic glints, applause for the bold choices, knowing nods for the quiet pieces that throb with colour. We take the group photo; you take home the universe.

Orange, You Were Magic

Two sessions, thirty guests a pop, and the collective refusal to go home on time because the energy was too good. Orange showed up with curiosity, left with confidence, and somewhere in the middle made a few wishes under a painted sky.
