A Night of Creative Bad Gal Energy at The Paint Garden (September Recap).
September at The Paint Garden was pure Bad Gal magic as we celebrated our Artist Spotlight of the Month: Rihanna our studio transformed into a vibrant, Caribbean-infused creative escape, filled with bold colors, fearless expression, and the undeniable aura of Rihanna energy.
🎨 Why Rihanna?
Rihanna isn’t just a musical icon — she represents fearlessness, innovation, cultural pride, and creative evolution. From her Caribbean roots to global fashion influence, she inspires people to express themselves boldly and authentically.
Our September spotlight embraced her essence through:
Confidence + self-expression
Caribbean flair
Fenty-level boldness & glam
Colour, personality, and edge
Because if you’re painting Rihanna… you can’t paint safe — you paint bold.
🎶 The Soundtrack That Carried the Night
A Rihanna paint night isn’t complete without the hits that raised us.Guests painted along to a curated playlist featuring:
Pon de Replay
Rude Boy
Diamonds
Umbrella
Btch Better Have My Money*

🖌️ The Art: Fierce, Expressive & Unapologetic
The guided piece for this session captured Rihanna’s high-fashion, high-impact visual presence. Guests were encouraged to play with bold colour palettes, expressive brushwork, and personalized glam elements.
Some went full Fenty Beauty glam. Some leaned into Anti-era moody and edgy. Some turned their canvas into album-cover-worthy art.
Every single artist left with a piece that was unique, powerful, and dripping with personality, just like Rih.
🍷 More Than a Paint Night, It Was a Creative Escape
At The Paint Garden, our mission is to create a space where people can unplug from stress, escape for a moment, and reconnect with joy. And this night embodied that beautifully.
We saw:
Solo self-care bookings
Girls’ night out groups
Date nights full of laughter & inside jokes
First-time painters discovering hidden talent
People who dressed for the theme and ate the look 🔥
The room was safe, high-energy, inclusive, and full of love, exactly what a Rihanna night should be.
