The Wayfarer, Alder Lane, Parbold WN8 7NL

18:00- 21:00

Join Julia for a relaxing autumn evening of painting at The Wayfarer in Parbold.

For this fully guided Sip & Paint, we’ll be creating Highland Heather - a dramatic Scottish landscape filled with sweeping distant mountains, cool blue-grey skies and deep slate tones, softened with earthy greens, warm ochres and golden grasses. In the foreground, layers of pink, mauve, lilac and soft white wildflowers bring the whole landscape to life, creating a beautiful contrast between the moody Highlands and the brighter, more expressive colour below.

Working in acrylics on a premium A3 stretched canvas, follow along with Julia as she paints the artwork live in front of you, teaching you step by step with full guidance so no one is left behind.

Expect loose expressive marks, beautiful layers of colour and a relaxed, supportive atmosphere throughout.

Absolutely no previous painting experience is needed. This is designed to be beginner-friendly, enjoyable and sociable from start to finish.

Together — Mare & Foal

This Christmas time, join us for a beautifully cosy evening creating Together — Mare & Foal, a tender portrait capturing the closeness and quiet bond between a mare and her foal.

Working on warm toned paper, we’ll build our portrait using soft pastels and charcoal, bringing in rich earthy warmth, beautiful highlights and expressive detail to create real depth and character.

As always, the evening is fully guided with close-up demonstrations throughout, making this gorgeous artwork achievable even if you haven’t drawn or used pastels before.

And where better to spend a December evening than the beautiful Wayfarer? With roaring open fires, Christmas trees and all the warmth of a cosy countryside pub, settle in, order something lovely to eat or drink, and enjoy 3 hours of festive creativity.

A gorgeous winter workshop and a beautiful piece to take home.

Join Julia for a relaxed, guided life drawing evening.

Introducing our new Mino Art School Life Drawing Club at The Brocket Arms, Wigan.

A supportive, guided drawing session with a live nude model, suitable for complete beginners and more experienced artists.

At Mino Art School, real freehand drawing sits at the heart of what we do. Sometimes wobbly, sometimes wonky, always individual, drawing is where confidence grows and skills begin to develop.

Led by Julia, a qualified and experienced Art & Design teacher, this is a relaxed but focused session, with structure, for anyone wanting to try life drawing or returning artists building regular creative practice.

Drawing materials are provided along with paper, and you’re very welcome to bring your own sketchbooks and folders.
