You'll be surprised to discover how fun and rewarding watercolour painting can be with this beginner-friendly paint and sip class!

Guided virtually by an experienced artist, this paint and sip workshop will help you have lots of fun at home as you discover the full potential of ink and watercolour as a medium and learn to paint stunning artwork with a drink in hand.

Looking for virtual Christmas party ideas, fun at-home hens party ideas or remote team building activities? Gather your group, wherever they may be, for a fun and rewarding few hours of painting and sipping from the comfort of your home.

In this online class, you will:

• Cover the basics of watercolour painting.
• Practice creative drawing techniques.
• Use your newly acquired skills to paint simple Christmas cards.
• Practice inking to get a confident quality in your ink lines.
• Add ink to your paintings.

At the end of the class, you'll have a beautiful selection of A5 watercolour cards and tags, along with the equipment, skills and confidence to continue exploring this relaxing medium!

Please note:

• If booked as a team building activity, your teacher can tailor your class to perfectly suit your group. Paint a house if you're estate agents, or a shoe if you're podiatrists!
• Craft boxes can take up to four days to arrive. Please allow this much time before your class if ordering with the box.
• Watercolour paints wash off almost everything, so you can use cups and plates with your paints and they will clean up very easily, even if you leave them with watercolour paint for days. Some colours may leave a slight stain on white clothing, but generally, they wash out of clothing 100%.

This class is beginner-friendly and you need no previous artistic knowledge or skill.
