Ever wanted to try painting a face, maybe a friend’s, a pet’s, or even your own? This Portrait Painting Workshop is a fun and relaxed way to explore the basics of portrait painting, no experience needed! Whether you’re joining with your kids, friends, or flying solo, this session is all about creativity, playfulness, and enjoying time together.
You'll learn how to draw simple facial features and use paints to bring your portrait to life in your own unique style. Silly or serious, realistic or abstract, that's completely up to you. Our friendly instructor will guide you through the process, offering tips and support while keeping the vibe easygoing and fun.
All materials are provided, plus a complimentary drink to sip as you paint. You’ll walk away with a colourful portrait you created yourself, and a lovely memory too!
Pickup Policy:
We’ll happily keep your creations for 7 days after your workshop so you have time to collect them. After that, we’ll need to recycle or dispose of them to make space for new work.
