The Funky Easel Sip & Paint Party at The Lord Nelson

🦌 The Midnight Stag

Moody, majestic, and made for the darkest month of the year...

Inspired by the deep midwinter woods, where the stag stands as a symbol of strength, stillness, and quiet resilience, this painting brings a touch of December's frosty magic — atmospheric and a little wild, without being too dark.

This isn't about perfection or pressure. It's about expressive brushstrokes, deep inky tones, and that moment when the whole thing comes together and you think "wait... I made that?"

A couple of hours where your shoulders drop, your mind softens, and something beautifully atmospheric unfolds without you having to force it.

🎨 What to expect

You'll be guided step-by-step (in a relaxed, no-pressure way) to create your own Midnight Stag painting — even if you haven't picked up a brush since school.

✨ No experience needed
✨ All materials provided
✨ A warm, welcoming atmosphere (come solo or with friends)
✨ Your own finished canvas to take home

🍷 Paint. Sip. Exhale.

Grab a drink, settle in, and let this be your midweek escape. Not a class. Not a performance. Just a bloody lovely couple of hours doing something different.

You'll leave with:
✨ A painting you'll actually be proud of
✨ A calmer, lighter headspace
✨ That quiet "I needed that" feeling

💫 This is for you if...

You think you're "not creative" (perfect — you're exactly who I teach best)
Life feels a bit full-on and you need a breather
You want something moody, magical, and quietly satisfying
You fancy kicking off the festive season with something a little different — calm before the Christmas chaos

I'd absolutely love to paint this one with you 🦌 It's a good one... trust me.
