Painting Party

We celebrated a friends 40th birthday with a Painting Party! What a fun experience! I declined the offer to paint, preferring to help Ella and Katy create their masterpieces. Tonight's project was to paint an this colourful elephant .....my initial thoughts - no way!

The easels were all set up, as were the brushes and plates of paint. Our lovely artist took the party  guests through step by step, focusing firstly on shape, the background, the different sections of the elephant and final touches to give the elephant some depth.

It was interesting being a spectator to watch the differences in interpretation and painting style emerge. The results were impressive. 






Ella and Katy (and Linden) did really well to keep up with the adults and their final pieces were amazing. Certainly a party to remember especially with both elephants now proudly hanging in each girls room!
