The Wayfarer, Alder lane, Parbold WN8 7NL

Join us for a relaxed evening of painting as we create Lakeland Winter – a beautiful snowy landscape inspired by winter in the Lakes.

Soft winter light falls across the snow, with distant fells, silver birches and a tiny cottage nestled into the landscape. Warm pinks and golds meet cool winter blues to create a wonderfully atmospheric winter scene and a beautiful piece to take home.

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.

Julia will demonstrate each stage as you go, talking through composition, colour mixing, brushwork, texture and all the little tips that help bring the painting together. We’ll build those soft layers of winter colour before adding the snowy birches and final details.

Perfectly suitable for beginners – you don’t need any previous painting experience and all materials are provided.

And there couldn’t be a lovelier setting for this one. The Wayfarer is made for a winter landscape – a beautiful countryside pub with roaring open fires, warm lighting and that wonderful cosy atmosphere as the evenings draw in.

3 hours to paint, relax and create your own Lakeland Winter to take home.

Come and join us for a wonderfully festive afternoon of painting, sipping and Christmas cheer! 🎄✨

We'll be painting these gorgeous little Christmas robins, snuggled together in their colourful festive hats, surrounded by twinkling fairy lights and a soft, snowy winter background.

Perfect for absolute beginners, as well as more experienced painters, tweens and teens.

Come and create Together - Mare & Foal in rich, earthy pastels and charcoal on warm toned paper.

The structure of your artwork will be ready prepared for you. Julia will be working live throughout the evening, demonstrating every stage and teaching you step by step as the piece develops.

We’ll explore tonal values, light and dark, atmosphere and depth with a beautifully forgiving palette of burnt sienna, burnt umber, soft white pastel and English willow charcoal. We’ll build up texture, expressive mark-making and striking highlights against the warmth of the paper, finishing with the option of adding a few subtle touches of gold leaf, depending on your style!

You’ll be working on a generous 42 × 59cm (A2) base, creating a wonderfully loose and expressive piece with just enough detail to capture that lovely relationship between mare and foal.

The finished artwork would look stunning framed at home, or make a very special gift for someone who loves that beautiful countryside style.

Absolutely spot on for beginners, with full live tuition throughout and all materials provided.

Join me at The Wayfarer, Parbold for 3 hours, with its roaring fires and beautiful countryside-pub atmosphere, for a super-relaxed evening of creativity.

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.
