💛 Family Painting Session – “Spa Day”
Join Toni from Easely Does It for a wonderfully relaxing family-friendly acrylic painting workshop inspired by the internet’s favourite chill animal — the capybara!
In this fun step-by-step session, children and adults will paint “Spa Day” — an adorable capybara peacefully soaking in a rustic wooden hot tub with a bright orange balancing on its head. Surrounded by warm water, gentle steam, and a tranquil atmosphere, this charming artwork captures a moment of pure relaxation and is guaranteed to make everyone smile.
Working on an 8″ × 10″ stretched canvas, families will explore how to:
✨ Paint an adorable capybara using simple shapes and easy techniques
✨ Create soft fur textures and expressive features
✨ Paint a realistic wooden hot tub with warm, relaxing water
✨ Add a bright orange balancing on the capybara’s head
✨ Use highlights, shadows, and colour blending to create depth and atmosphere
✨ Add steam, reflections, and finishing touches to bring the scene to life
No painting experience is needed — Toni will guide everyone through each stage with easy-to-follow demonstrations and plenty of encouragement, helping both adults and children create a masterpiece they’ll be proud to display. 🎨🛁🍊
All materials are included — simply bring your imagination and enjoy a fun creative adventure together.
