Mackay Paint and Sip
Mackay paint and sip - the Sugar City is sweeter than you think
Mackay punches above its population size in Paint Juicy terms. The sessions here sell out, the reviews are consistently strong and the repeat booking rate tells the story of a crowd that discovered the format and decided it was worth coming back for. This is a city that knows how to celebrate properly.
Paint Juicy runs at licensed venues across Mackay. Also nearby: Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays to the north and Proserpine in the hinterland. 100% mobile - we come to the venue, set up everything and run the complete session.
Public Mackay sessions from $59 per person. Private events from $700 for the first 10 guests, then $65 per additional.
The Paint Juicy difference
100% mobile. We set up every canvas, easel, palette and apron before the first guest arrives, run the session on the mic from start to finish and pack down at the end. You bring the group. The painting is guided step-by-step. The singalong runs the whole time. Every guest leaves with a canvas.
How Mackay sessions run
Guided on the mic from the first brushstroke to the last. Background, shapes, colour, detail. The singalong runs the whole time. The resource sector crowd brings a confidence to the room that makes Mackay singalong moments particularly strong.

Never done a Paint Juicy session before?
The concern everyone arrives with: "I cannot draw." The thing everyone says at the end: "I cannot believe I made that." Every step is called out on the mic before anyone touches paint to canvas. You paint the background before the foreground. The light before the shadow. The outline before the detail. By the time you reach the part that looked difficult on the demo, the foundations are already there and it is easier than it looked. Sessions run roughly two and a half to three hours. The singalong runs the whole time. The trivia moments between layers are competitive, frequently wrong and entirely deliberate.
