Autumn Painting Inspired by Leonid Afremov

This month we're exploring the world of contemporary impressionism with one of our favourite artist Leonid Afremov. He was a Russian–Israeli modern impressionistic artist who worked mainly with a palette knife, wide brush and oil or acrylic paint. Using his unique painting technique and unmistakable blotchy, dotty style, Afremov created paintings that seem to explode into millions of bright colours.

Our fun and social painting experience will help you unleash your inner creativity whilst encouraging you to relax. We are focused on supporting your wellbeing and bringing the sunshine to you. Painting is a great way to unwind, have fun and relax. Whether solo or in groups, this is perfect for beginners and those wishing to try a new hobby. Grab a drink, something to paint on and relax! No experience needed. 

To make this an interactive experience, we go live with you on Zoom and will guide you step-by-step in creating your own masterpiece in less than two hours. There's plenty of time for conversation and questions and answers. Catch up with friends and meet new people from around the world by sharing in a fun and creative event. We encourage you to be free and alter the painting to fit your style and use any colours.
