After the success of “Fox with Prickly Pear”, London-based artist Bruna Maria returns with a new beginner-friendly acrylic painting workshop — this time "Orange-crested Cockatoo" featuring a vibrant orange-crested cockatoo with tropical flowers.
Whether you're looking for a relaxing creative activity in London, a fun way to unwind, or a chance to try something new, this guided painting class is a beautiful way to spend a few mindful hours.
In this step-by-step session, Bruna will help you create your own finished painting on an A4 canvas board, using high-quality acrylic paints and techniques you can easily replicate at home. This month’s featured painting is the tropical bird, and each session focuses on a different nature-inspired design, often featuring animals, flowers, or plants.

An A4 canvas board
Acrylic paints and all materials provided
A printed step-by-step guide to take home

Hi, we’re Emily and Jess, the creative minds behind Something Good Workshops!
Our journey began in 2019 when Emily launched Something Good Workshops (originally known as MADEptford) as a way to spread crafty joy and raise funds for running the London Marathon. What started as a one-time idea quickly grew into a passion for bringing people together through creativity. Since then, we’ve hosted a wide variety of workshops, from arm knitting to body casting, in all kinds of spaces - corporate offices, cosy pubs, pop-up shops, and even people’s homes.
After taking a short break, we’re back with fresh energy and an exciting new partnership. Jess has joined the team, and together, we’re on a mission to spark joy and empower people to explore their creativity in relaxing, welcoming spaces. We believe there’s something magical about slowing down, working with your hands, and leaving with something you’ve made yourself - whether it’s a chunky knit blanket, a personal shrine, or a collage bursting with personality.
What makes us unique? We’re all about creating an environment where people feel at ease, whether they’re a total beginner or a seasoned maker. Over the years, we’ve held workshops in so many different settings, and one thing always stands out: the joy people feel when they realize just how creative they can be.
We’re not just here to teach a craft - we’re here to help you unwind, have fun, and leave with a tangible reminder that you’re capable of making something good.
We can’t wait to meet you at a workshop soon!
