Carl is an artist who started drawing when he was 3 years old, held his first paint brush at the age of 9 and became adept with painting at the age of 16.

He also has one year experience in the Beal full day art program. He has experience working with children at the London Museum's Summer Art Camp and 3 years of customer service at International Bakery where he learned how to ensure the satisfaction of everyone. Carl's main skills in art include watercolour, acrylic, ink, graphite and pen and is capable of ink wash, watercolour and comic book art style of drawing. Carl is heavily inspired by the works of artists such as Takehiko Inoue, Agnes Cecile and Vincent Castiglia. He is a great teacher and entertainer that can make you laugh and learn at the same time.
Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Pine Trees on Frozen Lake is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Carl breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Carl is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Mingle by Mr and Mrs Bao, a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.
Carl is a real local artist based in London — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. 7 out of 8 guests who've painted with Carl say the instruction was amazing. Daniel B. said: 'This was the first paint night we attended. The instructor was very helpful easy to follow along with.'
Mingle by Mr and Mrs Bao is a local venue in London — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.
