💙 Family Painting Session – “Colin”
Join Toni from Easely Does It for a bright and colourful family-friendly acrylic painting session packed with imagination, creativity, and plenty of rainbow fun.
In this exciting step-by-step workshop, children and adults will paint Colin — a cheerful rainbow-coloured chameleon with a curly tail, expressive eyes, and a dazzling mix of vibrant colours. Perched on a branch and bursting with personality, Colin is the perfect subject for exploring colour while creating a playful artwork that’s guaranteed to make everyone smile.
Working on an 8″ × 10″ stretched canvas, families will explore how to:
✨ Paint a charming chameleon using simple shapes and easy techniques
✨ Blend rainbow colours to create a vibrant, eye-catching effect
✨ Create texture and patterns across Colin’s colourful scales
✨ Paint expressive eyes full of character and personality
✨ Add tropical leaves, branches, and fun background details
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 get ready for a colourful creative adventure!
