Paint Night Possibilities (self.Blind)
submitted by youbbetchya
Hi friends!

I am organizing a bachelorette party for my friend. Her mother, who has significant vision impairment, will also be attending. She uses a hand-held magnifying glass to help her read menus, write checks, and so forth, and uses a CCTV at home.

I was wondering if any of you have experience doing a paint night, paint-and-sip type event with your impairment? I want to make sure she feels fully included in the day!

Thanks so much in advance.

I'm visually impaired and I paint. I'm terrible at it but I still do it. The hardest things for me to do is details, and colors, as my color vision isn't reliable and fine details are tough. I think they'll be alright

Thanks! I think her problems will be similar, so I looked up some things to accommodate--an arm light, bright contrasting colors, and thinking abstractly to avoid detail. She's a tough cookie so I think we'll be ok too!
