The Art Kit That Inspired Modern Family’s “Passion Painting” Scene
If you watched the hit TV show Modern Family and caught the unforgettable “Passion Painting” scene, you’ve seen a playful nod to an experience that’s been turning heads (and canvases) for over a decade.
The episode features Claire and Phil Dunphy attempting an adventurous form of body painting as a romantic gesture — a moment that fans instantly recognized as inspired by the original Love Is Art Kit.
This real-life kit has helped thousands of couples create intimate, abstract artwork together, blending sensuality with creativity in a truly unique way.
At Love Is Art, we’ve been the pioneers of this concept since 2010, offering couples a way to bond, laugh, and connect through the act of co-creating a personalized piece of art. The Passion Painting seen on Modern Family captured the spirit of our kits — fun, bold, and a little messy in the best way.
Whether you're here because you saw it on TV or you’re looking to bring that spark into your own relationship, you can shop the original kit that inspired it all, right here.
