💙 Family Painting Session – “Sunflower Coo”

Join Toni from Easely Does It for a heartwarming, family-friendly acrylic painting session inspired by the beauty of the countryside.

In this delightful step-by-step workshop, children and adults will paint Sunflower Coo — an adorable young Highland calf surrounded by a field of bright golden sunflowers. With its fluffy coat, sweet expression, and cheerful floral setting, this charming painting is guaranteed to bring smiles all round.

Working on a 8×10″ stretched canvas, families will explore how to:

✨ Paint a fluffy Highland calf using simple shapes and easy techniques

✨ Create texture and movement in the cow’s shaggy coat

✨ Paint vibrant sunflowers full of colour and character

✨ Add a bright countryside background

✨ Use colour and layering to bring your artwork to life

No painting experience is needed — Toni will guide everyone through each stage with encouragement and simple demonstrations, helping both grown-ups and young artists create a masterpiece they’re proud to take home. 🎨🐮

All materials are included — just bring your imagination and enjoy a wonderfully creative morning together.
