PAINTING for BEGINNERS - 2 hour lesson for Parents & Children
WATERCOLOUR PAINTING for BEGINNERS for ALL THE FAMILY Sat 31 July 10am - 12.
During the July school holidays a few parents asked if they could they please join their youth so I set up a class especially for them. The class went so well and was so much fun I have set up more, one this Saturday and another Sat 14 Aug. The subject will be Mt Ruapehu on a calm day after a cold winter southerly has just passed through.
$25 for both youth and parents, includes all materials supplied, just turn up and you'll all leave 2 hours later buzzing with your completed painting and a beaming smile of creative satisfaction on your dial. (Note to parents - sorry wine is only served during the evening ‘Wine & Watercolour sessions :)
No previous art experience is required and no need to worry about drawing as the painting outlines will already be drawn out for your to enable us to focus on the joys of watercolour painting in a relaxed and enjoyable, step-by-step procedure. These workshops are suitable for both beginners and more experienced watercolour artists who would like to fine tune their skills and style.
Please inquire about other youth classes as well as our fun Wine & Watercolour evenings, ideal for group social events and parties with a difference.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
