With step-by-step guidance, autumn-inspired colours and a drink included, you’ll have everything you need to create your very own majestic lion masterpiece.
🎨 Paint, Sip and Unwind
Settle in for an evening of creativity as you’re guided through the process of painting a striking autumn lion. From the rich golden and burnt orange tones of the season to the finer details that bring your lion to life, you’ll be shown what to do every step of the way.
And don’t worry if your artistic skills are a little rusty — no painting experience is needed. The relaxed atmosphere is all about having fun, trying something new and enjoying the experience.
