Event Description:

Join Toni from Easely Does It for a relaxed, family-friendly acrylic painting session inspired by the joy and movement of the sea.

In this fun, step-by-step workshop, children and adults will paint Turtle Splash — a cheerful turtle swimming through vibrant blue water, surrounded by bubbles, splashes, and playful ocean 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:

✨ Create movement and energy using flowing brushstrokes

✨ Paint shells, flippers, and friendly turtle features

✨ Layer blues and greens to suggest water and depth

✨ Add splashes, bubbles, and details 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.
