Really enjoyable evening, didn’t think I’d manage to paint something so well. Instructed how to do it but allowed to have a bit of individual creativity too. Would recommend.
Kate Coyle - 16 June 2023
I didn’t attend because I felt really anxious. I booked this because I love to paint but I struggle to meet new people or try new things and sadly it got the best of me on Tuesday evening but I’m giving 5 stars because it looks like so much fun! Maybe one day 🥲

Your Teacher

As children, we love art/painting/creating but as we get older we forget how happy it makes us. It only takes one person to tell us we are no good and that's it! -we never do it again.

Jessa's goal is to remind people of the joy that art brings and the power it has to help you relax and gain confidence.

Jessa's style is to keep it simple. No fancy art lingo, easy shapes, bright colours and lots of encouragement. You may not have painted since school but you now have the right tools to…

I had a wonderful evening and painted a seascape which was wonderful considering I have always been useless at art!! The teacher was great and inspiring. I felt we could have done with more time as I felt rushed, especially as I am a novice with little confidence. Thank you!
Sarah Ahddoud - 29 April 2023
Such a fun thing to do and can’t believe I managed to create something so good. Will definitely be booking again
Steve Winter-Fuller - 28 April 2023
We bought this as gift for our Dads birthday and we all loved it!! We arrived an hour early to grab some food and drinks and then settled down with a bottle of wine to paint. Daisy was an excellent tutor. Clear and simple instructions allowed everyone to keep up and the pace was right throughout. We all came away with paintings we were proud of and all declared we will be doing it again! Great fun!!
Caroline Main - 3 March 2023
Such a great experience, the artist took us through the painting step by step and I felt safe in her hands. My family were totally wowed with my painting. I thoroughly recommend this workshop.
Hilary Lockhart - 2 February 2023
I really enjoyed my evening at Paint & Chill. The venue, Still & West, was ideal. Our teacher was friendly and made the painting task manageable and fun. I was happy with the finished painting, especially the flourishes that I added after a couple of glasses of wine!
Michelle Pay - 26 January 2023
Brilliant evening and thoroughly enjoyable!
Jane Hodgkins - 29 September 2022
I haven't painted for years so wasn't sure what I could achieve. Well, it was fabulous and the session was such good fun with excellent tuition. I have already booked for the next one.
Annie Meadows - 29 September 2022
Really enjoyed this painting session. Easy to follow instructions with help always on hand. I will definately be going to another.
Janet McLeod - 29 September 2022
Fabulous evening. Daisy did a great job running everything. Friendly group. Really happy with my painting and I enjoyed my evening very much.
Jasmine Grove - 29 September 2022
Really enjoyed it. Although I did find it hard to hear sometimes, especially with the pub music playing at the same time.
Helen Hobman - 29 September 2022
Another great evening, met some lovely people, and made two new lovely friends Jane and Barbara, we all had a great time and my first session with Daisy who was just lovely - thank you ! Can't wait for the next event, addictive, but unlike chocolate it's calorie free pleasure xx

Fantastic way to spend an evening! I took my Mum for her birthday and she went home and immediately looked at future events. 100% recommend to people who want a relaxed but fun evening doing something different. Neither of us are artists but we were both really proud of our pictures. The tutor gave us clear instructions and lots of really lovely encouragement throughout the night. We will be back!
Karen Foster - 3 June 2022
Thank you Charlotte, what a lovely evening. Learning something completely different in such a relaxing atmosphere. The room size was perfect and everything was supplied, lots of tips and encouragement and a beautiful painting to takehome at the end of a very relaxing evening. I feel more confident to use acrylic paint now and will definitely be doing some more painting at home. Really well organised and excellent activity.
Suzy - 22 April 2022
I went on my own and as a novice wasn't sure what to expect however everyone was friendly and the finished picture was surprisingly OK. I was concentrating so much I actually didn't hear the teachers instructions sometimes and could probably have done with more time as the 2 hours flew by. I would definitely go again, very good value for money and a fun night.
Helen Wilkinson - 21 April 2022
This was the first one of these events I have been to and it was so much fun. Definetly booking onto another one
Tania Merriman-Trigg - 21 April 2022

Lovely relaxing evening
Viktoria Kovas - 11 March 2022
Had a lovely time. Really well organised and easy to follow instructions. Would certainly like to attend again. Only down side was that found music in the pub a bit too loud and intrusive but that's not really down to Paint & Chill.
Paula Sullivan - 2 February 2022
