Dry-brushing is easy to learn and creates beautiful results!

We loved spending time with this 8-year-old artist and his mom as they explored a new painting technique together. Moments like these are what The Painted Penguin is all about—creating, learning, and making memories side by side.

Come paint with us and discover your next masterpiece! 🎨💙

Open Saturdays from 12-5pm for walk ins.

These 2 turned ordinary paintbrushes into the cutest little characters today 🎨✨
Watching their ideas come to life was such a fun reminder that creativity has no limits. We loved seeing all the personalities they gave their brushes — so imaginative and full of fun! 💛

At The Painted Penguin, it’s always about creating, laughing, and letting imaginations run wild.

✨ Totally rad day celebrating Courtney — the American Girl of the ‘80s! ✨

We started with brunch at American Girl and kept the fun going with an awesome canvas painting party at The Painted Penguin 🎨💖

Bright colors, laughter, friendship, 9 birthday girls, one baby handprint, and all the best retro vibes made this such a memorable event. From painting to chatting and creating together, it was the perfect throwback celebration!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this totally tubular day! 🩷🛼🎶

Hoping everyone had a safe and meaningful Memorial Day as we remember and honor those who served. ❤️

This vase was painted by a Mom for her daughter leaving Chicago behind and heading to San Francisco — two cities filled with memories, dreams, and completely different skies. Her mom wanted the painting to feel like home and adventure at the same time.

Sometimes the most meaningful presents aren’t bought in stores. They’re made with love, patience, and a heart trying to hold onto a moment just a little longer.

Walk-in hours: Saturdays from 12 to 5 PM. Come Paint with us.

Thank you to everyone who spent part of their Mother’s Day being creative with us 💐🎨

Now that Mother’s Day has passed, we can finally share some of the heartfelt gifts and sweet surprises that were secretly being made over the last few weeks ❤️✨

So much love, creativity, and meaningful memories all in one place.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmothers, bonus moms, and mother figures who give so much love every day 💕

Today we celebrate the hugs, encouragement, patience, laughter, sacrifices, and memories that mothers help create.

We also hold space for those missing their moms today, those spending Mother’s Day with cherished memories instead of embraces, and those for whom this day may feel difficult or bittersweet. You are in our hearts too ❤️

Wishing everyone a day filled with love, comfort, connection, and meaningful moments.
Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at The Painted Penguin 🌸🎨
