💚 Family Painting Session – “Tropical Frog”

Join Toni from Easely Does It for a relaxed, family-friendly acrylic painting session inspired by lush rainforests and vibrant tropical life.

A Creative Workshop Full of Colour, Energy & Tropical Magic

📅 Sunday 31st May

🕥 10:30 AM (please arrive at Visitor Reception by 10:00 AM) – 12:30 PM (approx.)

📍 National Trust Hughenden Estate, HP14 4LA

In this fun, step-by-step workshop, children and adults will paint Tropical Frog — a bright, cheerful frog perched among bold jungle leaves, glowing colours, and playful natural textures. The session is uplifting, creative, and perfect for painters of all abilities.

Working on a 20 × 30cm stretched canvas, families will explore how to:

✨ Use expressive brushstrokes to create leaf shapes and texture

✨ Paint frog features, patterns, and character

✨ Layer greens, yellows, and tropical colours for depth and vibrancy

✨ Add details like highlights, shadows, and jungle accents to make the scene pop

No painting experience is needed — Toni will guide everyone through each stage, offering encouragement and tips so both grown-ups and young artists can feel confident and proud of their finished artwork. 🎨🐸

All materials are included — just bring your imagination and a sense of fun.
