Paint Your Story: 6-Week Evening Art Course (Adults 18+)

Paint Your Story is a relaxed, small-group evening painting course for adults who want to explore creativity, emotion and personal storytelling through art.

Led by local contemporary artist Kelvin Frimpong, this 6-week course is designed for beginners and anyone looking to reconnect with their creativity in a welcoming, supportive space.

This is not a traditional step-by-step class. Instead, you’ll be guided to develop your own expressive painting style while learning key creative skills along the way.

Over 6 weeks you will:

🎨 Explore colour, mood and emotional expression

🖌 Learn composition and visual storytelling

🧠 Develop confidence in your creative voice

🖼 Create a final personal painting to take home

No previous experience is needed. just curiosity and openness.

Wine is provided
