Sip & Paint: turn your favourite photo into art

About this course

Participants use a printed photograph of their choice as the basis for a painted artwork. The session opens with a short demonstration, followed by step-by-step guidance as learners apply simple painting techniques and explore colour and composition. Guidance continues while participants develop their own pieces, with opportunities to experiment and work at their own pace. The format combines individual painting with conversation in a relaxed, sociable setting.
