I have painted hares quite a bit in my own work, so I thought that it’s time to get one in the gallery! This one is quite free and playful, but again with a limited palette of beiges, browns & a daring dash of blue. Just like in our popular bird paintings, this has very… Continue reading Hare – new gallery addition

Another gorgeous addition to the Painter’s Gallery from this past weekend! Most people walk through the studio door with the expectation that they won’t be able to complete anything near the original that they’ve chosen. These people are always surprised at what they achieve with instruction, a bit of encouragement, and a bit of wine.… Continue reading Meadow Flowers

Prepare your funky chicken jokes! A few of our painters have chickens & have requested a fun, fluffy chicken to paint, so here we are! It’s punchy, but with a limited palette of coral, grey & a pop of light blue. Just like in our popular flamingo painting, this has very satisfying, fast feathers. If… Continue reading Fluffy chicken

Here’s a wacky, chunky walrus to continue the sea mammal theme. He’s a friendly guy, in muted beiges, peach and browns. I barely resisted putting a top hat on. As always, he’s appropriate for complete beginners. Several new paintings in the hopper, so my fingers are crossed that I’ll be able to paint and post… Continue reading Walrus

A curious, little harbour seal features in this newest addition to the gallery. I’ve had requests for more sea scenes, but I couldn’t resist adding just a little extra. As with all of our paintings, this is appropriate for complete beginners. I have several more paintings planned and now that school is back in session,… Continue reading Curious seal

The Painter’s Gallery has been updated with some fresh, amazing, new paintings painted in the last few weeks. These works were created in our new studio by guests. Have a click through to see them. They are stunning! Typically new painters are dubious that their painting will look at all like the original. Inevitably, when… Continue reading Amazing works in Painter’s Gallery

Cloudy Dawn – The newest addition to our Paint by Wine gallery – a dramatic, morning landscape with a limited colour palette. I’ve had requests for more paintings that feature a swirly sky – here we go. As with all of our paintings, they are designed to be achievable for beginners without any experience. If… Continue reading Cloudy Dawn

We’re back and painting again!We’ve had our inaugural painting workshop on June 4th and others since. It is surreal, with masks, track and trace check in and whatnot, but absolutely fantastic to be open and painting again.
