💙 Family Painting Session – “Spots”
Join Toni from Easely Does It for a fun-filled, family-friendly acrylic painting session packed with creativity, colour, and canine cuteness.
In this delightful step-by-step workshop, children and adults will paint Spots — an adorable Dalmatian with bright eyes, floppy ears, and a colourful bandana full of personality. With his playful expression and distinctive black-and-white markings, Spots is guaranteed to steal hearts and make a wonderful artwork to display at home.
Working on an 8″ × 10″ stretched canvas, families will explore how to:
✨ Paint a Dalmatian using simple shapes and easy techniques
✨ Create distinctive spots and fur textures with confident brushstrokes
✨ Add a colourful bandana full of character and style
✨ Use shading and highlights to bring your dog to life
✨ Add fun background colours and personal touches
No painting experience is needed — Toni will guide everyone through each stage with encouragement and easy-to-follow demonstrations, helping both grown-ups and young artists create a masterpiece they’ll be proud to display. 🎨🐶
All materials are included — just bring your imagination and your love of dogs!
