Arrive and relax

Arrive and Relax

Grab yourself a drink and settle in. All the art materials will be ready and waiting for you.


Start your sketch

Start Your Sketch

Your friendly host will guide you through the steps of sketching the basic outline of your partner's face on your canvas (while they sketch you).


Splash on the paint

Splash on the Paint

Your host Artist will guide you step by step in mixing colours to match your partner's skin tone.


Smile as your artwork comes to life

Smile as Your Artwork Comes to Life

Your person will emerge from the canvas slowly but surely as you both add the finishing touches to your portraits.


Reveal, admire, snap and share

Reveal, Admire, Snap and Share

And now for the big reveal! Share your painting with your partner and let them admire your handiwork, while you admire theirs. Photograph your creations and share the laughs.


Grab your other half (or your bestie!) and get ready for a night of laughter, wine and questionable artistic choices. In this playful twist on a Paint and Sip, you’ll swap selfies for something far more memorable – a hand-painted portrait of your favourite person, created by you!
No experience? No worries. I will give you a few pointers to help you get started and hopefully make your partner look somewhat human. I will help you capture their (ahem) most flattering features.
If your partner can't make it to the class, or you just want to surprise them with a made with love portrait? That's perfectly okay too. All you need to do is bring a good quality photo on your phone and you can use this as a reference to draw from during the painting session.
Sip on a glass (or two) of your favourite drink, unleash your inner artist and enjoy a night of fun and a few “I can’t believe you painted me like that!” moments.

  • 5/5 from Marisa Yookhong, attended Oct 2026: We absolutely loved this class! It’s such a great activity for couples. Iona is a fantastic teacher who showed us some great tips for basic drawing and painting. We couldn’t be happier to recommend this course! Our favourite part was definitely the painting reveal at the end — it had us laughing so much! Such a fun and memorable experience. Thank you so much, Iona! ❤️ Marisa & Tobby :)
  • 5/5 from Hildah Mahlatjie, attended Aug 2026: Iona is amazing and down to earth, she is welcoming and easy to work with. She helps you out throughout the session. Loved the experience and will be surely be back.
  • 5/5 from Marilyn Verboon, attended Aug 2026: My 14yo Grandson and I loved this class, and highly recommend this class for any age. We booked the Paint your Partner class. Ilona is wonderful and makes it a pleasure to be part of… You also learn so much how to proportion the face you are partner… you come out feeling proud of your art…
  • 5/5 from Kevin Mezger, attended Aug 2026: Great instructor, fun, good vibes everyone should give it a go.
  • 5/5 from Maria Migueis, attended Jul 2026: Amazing experience! And BYO drink and food it´s a plus! Thank you :)
  • 5/5 from Alyce Mostert, attended Jul 2026: We had a great time at this event, and although neither of us is particularly creative (and I am certainly not artistic at all) I think our paintings turned out really well. It is a relaxed location, a good bit of fun, and very interesting to see everyone's interpretation of their "partner". We brought our own wine and went out for dinner beforehand, so we didn't try the snacks. Our tween daughters now want to attend a similar session, perhaps as a birthday party event!
  • 5/5 from Aaron Rekman, attended Jun 2026: A gang of eight friends enjoyed a night together with insightful art teacher Iona. It was fair to say we all had a low level of expectation for our artistic creativity, however by the end of the night we did really well. Thanks again Iona.
  • 5/5 from Penelope Arrow, attended Jun 2026: This was unexpectedly fun - would do it again in a heartbeat and even take a group of friends. Iona was a brilliant teacher and added lots of personal touch to the experience. A 5 Star event.
  • 5/5 from Julie Beahan, attended Jun 2026: Our experience was a gift and we both enjoyed it. Our teacher was lovely and very helpful when needed which was a lot! I have already recommended this class to friends.
  • 5/5 from Sally, attended Apr 2026: Fun workshop, great location, and the teacher was great. Gave good instruction and was happy to help but also just left us to have fun and create our artworks :)
  • 5/5 from Joshua Llewellyn, attended Apr 2026: Iona was a great teacher and it was great fun, was very surprised at how well my painting turned out
  • 5/5 from Kimberly Carter, attended Feb 2026: Lots of fun.
  • 5/5 from Felicity Hatzis, attended Dec 2025: Iona was wonderful and organised a great session which was enjoyed by all. Thanks Iona!

Hi there! I’m Iona – an enthusiastic Artist/Educator/Facilitator, who loves sharing the joy of creativity and helping people tell their stories through art.
Over the past 14 years, I’ve had the privilege of leading creative workshops and community art projects, especially in the vibrant Pilbara Region of Western Australia. My background in Theatre Design has given me a unique set of skills – from crafting puppets and painting large murals to creating sculptures from recycled treasures for exhibitions like Castaways.
As an artist, my heart belongs to painting! Whether it’s acrylics, oils, watercolours, or inks, I find endless inspiration in Western Australia’s stunning landscapes, native flora, and beautiful bird life.
I believe that everyone has an artist inside them, and I’m here to help you discover yours. Let’s explore the world of painting together – no experience needed, just an open mind and a willingness to have fun. I can’t wait to embark on this creative journey with you!
