What happens on painting days
On your painting day, go to Mr. Brown's Park on the 100 block of West Broad Street to get your window assignment and paint.
Please say Hi to the store folks where you'll be painting and and thank them.
You should bring: paint brushes, water, newspapers to protect the sidewalk, and sponges. A kitchen stool is handy to have. Masking window ledges makes clean up easier.

If your scene has light colors, you can put down a solid background "wash" color first. A light grey color works well.
Be sure to sign your beautiful work and take some photos. Check back at the desk when finished and get a (chocolate) kiss.

Cleaning up is almost as much fun as painting. Bring newspaper to cover the sidewalk and lots of water and sponges. Soak the paint well in small sections and it will come off easily.
Cleaning up is a great way to thank our merchants for participating.
