Brush Party is about making art fun. It’s where people of all ages and abilities can come and discover their artistic side. Most people don’t believe in their own creativity when it comes to art, but Brush Party is about to change that. Our fun step-by-step approach makes painting easy.
You don’t need to have ever painted before to come to one of our events. Take a look at our calendar and choose the artwork you’d like to recreate. We walk our guests through creating their own version of our theme in easy to understand stages. You will be amazed at what you can achieve whilst having fun with friends, online or at our popular locations throughout the UK.

Fantastic evening painting snow globe! Great to be able to do it at home too!
Linda Yates • Nov 2023
Good step by step guidance. Was amazing to see the picture evolve . Plenty of paint , lovely clean brushes.
Sarah-Jane Francis • Nov 2023
The teacher had good knowledge but it was full on due to time. It was very tight for space could not move. I have never painted before and went home with a lovely painting.
Margaret Burford • Nov 2023
My friends and had a really good evening at the brush party and would certainly do another one. There was lots of laughter and friendly help on hand. I was really pleased with the painting that I produced and enjoyed seeing it build up over the evening. Great fun

Really enjoyed the painting class. Great instructor and picture choice to paint. Allowed to change the colours being used to do my own thing!
Sarah • Nov 2023
Excellent evening with friends. Fantastic guidance throughout. Really good fun, and amazed at what we produced!
Marion • Nov 2023
It was my first in person session and I was nervous going alone. But I needn’t have worried - once you start painting you forget everything else.
The tutor was great - very talented, and everyone left with a snow globe picture to be proud of.
Would recommend to anyone.

Great evening at The Bell in Stoke Mandeville. These events you could go on your own or in a crowd as everyone is so friendly. Definitely going again which will be my 7th time!
Susan • Nov 2023
The teacher was amazing at guiding us with the painting. It was an amazing chilled session that gave us a chance to show off our art skills. Will definitely do it again!

Couldn't get my leaf as beautiful as Becky's! Would love more coloured pencil evenings as well as graphite.

Another great night paint with Katie she is by far the best teacher we have had can’t wait to do another one with her
Evelyn Mills • Nov 2023
"Zoom" was giving me a hard time in signing, asking me to log in and asking me to enter a code for signing in and it delayed me by a few minutes. Luckily, Becky was aware of my problem and explained to me what they've done so far so I can catch up. I have bought a set of Coloured Drawing Pencils during the lockdown and haven't used the coloured pencils till now so I was excited and keen to learn. The 1st photo shown here was on A3 Drawing paper, done during the Zoom event. I did a 2nd improved version on an A4 Drawing paper right after the class, while my memory of the drawing techniques was still fresh on my mind and I had as much time as I wanted. I raided my grandchildren's drawing basket and found blendable coloured and white pencils and used some in my 2nd drawing (photo shown below). Thanks to Brush Party. My confidence is growing.

I went by myself to Windsor to paint the Christmas penguin.
I loved the evening. I sang all night and enjoyed painting.
The tutor was very down to earth, it was a relaxed evening.
Amelia Hodgetts • Nov 2023
What a fab evening! We painted Ice Ice Angus. The teacher was brilliant, the set up was great, there was quite a lot to do in the time but we all came away with a canvas of a Christmassy Highland Moo having had a glass or two of something along the way.
Lisa Landau • Nov 2023
Haven’t painted a thing since I left school (except walls). Teacher was really good, helped out when we got a little stuck, provided all we needed so was a very good price
Venue was good, enough space, good to be able to buy a drink or snacks/meal
Atmosphere was really good, everyone relaxed and had a laugh. Looking forward to doing another class very soon
Nicola McCully • Nov 2023
Absolutely fantastic. I am not a painter and yet with the instruction and guidance from the teacher I left with a great painting. Very professional and great fun. All materials provided.
Natalie • Nov 2023
I loved doing the ice ice Angus! Part way through I was doubting myself but persevered and trusted the process and omg! I was amazed! Beckys instructions were really good and easy to understand/follow. Cannot wait for my next one. Thank you!

As always, I doubted the process as we were going through it thinking my picture would never look like the original. But you do the last few finishing touches, step back and there it is! Becky is a great instructor.
Anonymised ClassBento student • Nov 2023
I enjoyed the online tutorial and it was particularly useful to be able to pause the recording as I needed to, with a dog to entertain too!
The instructions were great and I couldn’t believe it turned out so well.
Cathy Cowie • Nov 2023
Just loved this! Pleased with the result too.
This was definitely more challenging than others and it was difficult to see how the tutor was painting certain things at times as they were quite intricate.
However, she was informative and helpful. Thank you
Lynn Potton • Nov 2023
Amazing experience. Never thought I could do a good picture lol . Teachers were brilliant. I would deffo do it again . And highly recommended it
Jane Spicer • Nov 2023
It was ok. I found it a very enjoyable evening. My picture turned out ok but not as good as I would have liked
Susan Buick • Nov 2023
The teacher was friendly and explained every move very well. The venue was comfortable warm, nice environment, it worked very well. You got all the materials you need. I enjoyed the evening would recommend it to friends and would definitely do another one. Good price for the equipment and standard of teaching. Very enjoyable, thank you
Melissa Dickason • Nov 2023
Amazing and lots of fun full of laughs!
The tutors were amazing and I was surprised with how well my painting came out, it was fully down to the great tutors making it super easy to follow along the steps though.
Already looking at booking the next one

Katie was great, cheerful and is always giving everyone positive feedback. She has fostered my confidence, enabling me to create things i didn't know i was capable of!
The venue was inside the Oak pub. It was warm and cosy where my friends and I enjoyed a LOVELY meal.
The materials were good with fresh water on tap and prompt top up of paint as required.
What I enjoyed most from Katie was how she gives us practical tips, drawing upon her wealth of experience .
She was always there to help in an emergency and give advice if we made a mistake ( espeacially me! )
Katie would come to the rescue to avert any disasters. .
She maintains a relaxed atmosphere to enable creativity and fun to flow throughout the group. Highly recommended experience.

Brilliant night. Our teacher was very patient and explained everything. All equipment was provided. Sharon, the landlady was lovely, taking drinks orders so we didn't have to get up. Definitely recommend it.

Lois Sheard • Oct 2023
This was a gift from my daughter and I was a bit unsure of going along alone especially as I have never done this sort of thing before-I was wrong I had a great evening - helpful and knowledgeable teaching and a great welcome. And a painting I am proud of! Venue also good. I will definitely be back
Kyra • Oct 2023
A fantastic evening painting and sipping…and our painting turned out great! Our teacher was fabulous and gave good instructions throughout. Venue was perfect. All in all an experience worth every penny, will definitely do another one! :)
Brie • Oct 2023
My daughter and I had a fantastic morning painting at the Halloween themed Scaredy Cat morning in Wycombe.
Our teacher explained and demonstrated very clearly and enthusiastically, each stage of the painting. Both she and her assistant were friendly, positive and encouraging.
I was amazed that by the end of the session both mine and my daughter’s paintings were almost as good as the one our teacher produced!
The location was perfect. I really couldn’t fault a thing.
I now really want to do an evening class!

Had a lovely time with my Daughter at the family brush party event. Tutor was lovely, explained everything and didn't feel rushed. It'll definitely be going up on her bedroom wall as a lovely reminder of a fantastic afternoon.
Beth • Oct 2023
A fun evening being guided by our lovely artist in charge who engaged with everyone throughout the evening.
Well organised and the right number of breaks in a lovely pub venue.
Lucy Dodd • Oct 2023

Teacher this evening was very clear in her instructions with a nice pace and easy to follow prompting. The venue is great, a good layout and size. Really enjoyed the the painting too, it was a pretty one.
Karen Williams • Oct 2023
It was great fun and the team were really helpful. I enjoyed the evening it was something really different to do.
Peter Cooper • Oct 2023
It was my first time attending a sip and pain event. I was classify myself as a beginner.
The session was fun and friendly and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. We were told how to mix colours and layer paint.
There was no pressure to mix to an exact colour or draw a precise shape or size. Everyone could interpret their painting how they wanted to.
We had 3 10 minute breaks while the paints dried and we moved to the next stage of the painting.
I was very happy with my completed painting. I didn't think I would be able to have a painting as good as I did.
Thank you for a fun night and your clear instructions and guidance.
5 stars.

I am pleased with my final Painting. It's as good as it gets.
Millie was lovely and bubbly - went too fast for me at first but I managed to catch up with her, somehow.
Thank you, Brush party, for this opportunity to learn how to paint a Boat Sailing at sunset. I love the theme.
