About the event
Structure:
Unlike other painting workshops, we deeply encourage everyone to paint whatever they like - no limits here! Our on-site artist will be with you to ensure you feel confident and comfortable throughout your painting process and promise to leave with something you love. Before the event, we will send you a link to our inspiration boards full of ideas to get your creative juices flowing. We'll ask you to send us up to 2 images you may like to paint on the day and we'll have them printed off by your canvas ready to start!
What's Included:
Enjoy 60 minutes of refillable wine while you sketch and create your unique #easelescape masterpiece. Everyone will be provided with aprons before the session whilst receiving a brief introduction on what to expect throughout the workshop, how to use the paints and answer any questions you may have. We will be using acrylic paints on a large A3 canvas.
Atmosphere:
From the second you walk through the door, we promise to deliver you the #easelescapeexperience. Relax, socialise and develop your creativity whilst you chill and chat with like-minded individuals. Take our workshops as serious or as silly as you wish - it's entirely up to you!
FAQs
-
Do I need any painting experience?None at all. Whether you're a born Picasso or struggle to draw a stick man - our on-site artist will guide you through your painting and break it down into it's simplest form. We always encourage participants to sketch out their painting before jumping into applying any paint to make sure you're 100% happy with the form.
-
What are we painting?You're free to paint whatever you like! Our events are entirely different to any other painting workshops in that we deeply encourage you to choose your subject, create your own masterpiece and paint at your own pace. To get your creative juices flowing, we will send you a link before the event to our inspiration boards; full of varying styles, subjects, complexities and even past creations from our previous artists.
-
Will I get any guidance?Yes, absolutely! We offer one-to-one individual help and guidance for each participant to ensure you feel confident and comfortable at your easelescape experience.
