A Joyful 4 Weeks of Painting and Connection
Our very first Paint & Chat course has just wrapped up — and what a wonderful journey it was! Over four weeks, a group of enthusiastic students came together to explore the world of painting, many of them complete beginners picking up a brush for the very first time.
Each week, we built on new skills: from brushwork and painting techniques to colour theory and composition. Weekly tasks guided everyone towards their final goal — a beautiful still life painting on canvas. Students could either bring their own materials or purchase an art pack, and together we turned our sessions into a creative studio filled with music, conversation, and the smell of fresh coffee and tea.
One of the best parts of the course was watching friendships form. By the final week, the group was not only painting with confidence, but also cheering each other on and sharing their progress with pride.
The results spoke for themselves: every student walked away with a completed still life on canvas and a new sense of confidence. In fact, they enjoyed the experience so much that the biggest request at the end was… “Can the next course be six weeks instead of four?”
It was such a joy to see everyone embrace creativity, push past their fears, and surprise themselves with what they could achieve. I’m so proud of this group — and I can’t wait to welcome new and returning students to the next Paint & Chat course in November!
