Looking for a creative outlet that’s anything but ordinary? Paint Your Mate is the ultimate feel-good, laugh-out-loud workshop where you and your favourite person become each other’s muse — no pressure, no perfection, just pure fun.
Here’s what to expect:
  • Bring your bestie, your boo, your work bestie or even your sibling — this class is for literally anyone you want to laugh and make memories with.
  • Each of you gets a canvas, paints, and guidance but instead of painting a flower or a sunset, you’ll paint each other!
  • No experience needed! Whether you’re an art newbie or a hidden Picasso, this workshop is all about connection, creativity, and letting go.
  • We’ll be guiding you through a fun and easy painting process, but your results are totally unique (and usually hilarious).
  • Expect lots of laughter, inside jokes, and maybe even a new phone wallpaper because nothing bonds people like trying to draw a nose with a paintbrush.
  • All materials included. Just show up and get ready to get creative.
By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with a totally original portrait and a memory you’ll talk about for ages. It’s not about getting it perfect—it’s about enjoying the moment.

Hi, I’m Nitasha, a Melbourne-based artist, workshop facilitator, and mental health advocate.
My journey into art wasn’t planned — it came at a time when I needed something to hold onto. I was navigating depression and anxiety, and picking up a paintbrush became a lifeline. What started as a personal outlet quickly turned into a passion for creating safe, expressive spaces for others.
Art gave me a voice when I didn’t have the words. That’s why I’m so passionate about teaching — because I know firsthand how powerful creative expression can be. Whether it’s a child painting next to their mum or two friends laughing over a messy canvas, these moments matter. They’re joyful, grounding, and often healing.
Over the past few years, I’ve hosted dozens of art workshops across Melbourne — from intimate sessions in cafés to community-based events for young people and women rebuilding after trauma. I’ve also volunteered with organisations like ACHRH, combining creativity with wellbeing. My sessions are guided, beginner-friendly, and rooted in connection — you don’t need to be an artist, just willing to show up.
What’s special about my work? It’s raw, real, and people-focused. I don’t teach from a pedestal — I sit with you, paint with you, and hold space for whatever unfolds on the canvas. Most people don’t realise how deeply personal and therapeutic art can be, even in simple forms.
This isn’t just about making something pretty — it’s about creating something that feels like you
