Two experienced painters (and advertising veterans) reunite for an epic showdown of artistic mediums! Armed with slow-drying oils, one painter crafts meticulous, layered masterpieces that exude the feeling of, “I have all the time in the world.” On the other hand, his partner thrives in the fast-paced world of acrylics, where bold strokes, quick choices, and a touch of chaos rule the canvas. Meet Joe Bednarski and Phil Gayter—two long-time rivals who’ve spent years debating which paint reigns supreme, and they’re now ready to face off with their Winsor & Newtons.
Prepare for a unique live painting battle where oils and acrylics collide in a lively, fast-paced artistic contest filled with humor, storytelling, and a touch of creative rivalry. This event is a must for art enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys improv and live entertainment!
You’ve never seen anything like this before… it’s like watching paint dry—only this time, it’s thrilling, unpredictable, and far from boring!
What to Expect: A lively live painting demonstration where Joe (oil) and Phil (acrylic) share insights from their artistic journeys, their shared advertising background, their globe-trotting adventures, all while throwing playful jabs at each other.
