💙 Family Painting Session – “Kingfisher”
Join Toni from Easely Does It for a relaxed, family-friendly acrylic painting session inspired by one of Britain’s most dazzling birds.
In this fun, step-by-step workshop, children and adults will paint Kingfisher — a bright, eye-catching kingfisher flying above a river, with flashes of turquoise, orange, and blue bringing the scene to life. The session is joyful, creative, and perfect for painters of all abilities.
Working on a 20 × 30cm stretched canvas, families will explore how to:
✨ Paint a kingfisher using simple shapes and bold colour
✨ Capture feathers, beaks, and expressive bird features
✨ Layer blues and greens to suggest water and reflections
✨ Add branches, ripples, and details to bring the scene alive
No painting experience is needed — Toni will guide everyone through each stage, offering encouragement and easy tips so both grown-ups and young artists feel confident and proud of their finished artwork. 🎨🐦
All materials are included — just bring your imagination and a sense of fun.
