Seattle Skyline to Mt. Rainier: Our Favorite Local Views to Paint
Make Your Next Wine and Paint Night a Tribute to Local Beauty
When you paint with us at Pinot’s Palette, you don’t need to be an artist to create something amazing; Our step-by-step guidance makes it easy and fun for everyone! SO be sure to check out our calendar, too!
Whether you’re joining us for a Federal Way paint and sip with friends or a Seattle painting class for date night, these iconic local sights make the perfect subjects to capture on canvas.
1. The Seattle Skyline
Few scenes are as recognizable — or as fun to paint — as the Seattle skyline. With the Space Needle reaching toward the sky and the city lights reflecting off Elliott Bay, this view is both dramatic and romantic. It’s a favorite for guests at our King County wine and paint nights because you can play with bold colors, shimmering reflections, and a touch of your own creative flair.
2. Mount Rainier
Towering over the horizon, Mount Rainier is the crown jewel of the Pacific Northwest. Painting it gives you a chance to experiment with gradients of blues, whites, and purples to capture the mountain’s snow-capped elegance. Whether you’re a first-time painter or a seasoned pro, this is a subject that always wows. Plus, during your Pinot’s Palette painting class in Federal Way, our talented artists will guide you step-by-step to make even the most majestic landscapes feel approachable.
3. Dash Point State Park
Located right here in Federal Way, Dash Point offers a peaceful shoreline and sweeping Puget Sound views. The mix of sandy beach, driftwood, and gentle waves is a relaxing and serene subject to recreate during a paint and sip night with friends. Bring your favorite glass of wine, let the saltwater vibes inspire you, and watch your blank canvas come to life.
4. Kerry Park
For one of the most picture-perfect Seattle views, Kerry Park never disappoints. The small hilltop park offers a panoramic view of the Seattle skyline, framed by Mount Rainier on a clear day. It’s a dream to paint during one of our themed Seattle painting classes, where you can focus on detail, perspective, and vibrant color contrasts.
5. Snoqualmie Falls
Just a short drive from Federal Way, Snoqualmie Falls is a breathtaking 268-foot waterfall surrounded by lush greenery. It’s a dramatic choice for those looking to try their hand at capturing movement and texture on canvas — and during a Pinot’s Palette class, you’ll have an instructor and assistants right there to help bring your vision to life.
