Painting: "Jellyfish" by Local Artists and Jessa, founder of Paint Chill Co


The Beacon 

Paint n Sip Bar Event "Jellyfish"

Stephanie Lawry

Fun evening, nice to do something I have done before and my painting turned out great :) Booked another class already. 

Anna Norman 

I came with my mum for the first time to do a paint party with Jessa. Wow what a fun and enjoyable evening, as well as coming away with a piece of art that I was quite proud of x

 Nadia  Cook

Loved the experience with my mum! Good fun and well demonstrated! I was really impressed with what I could do and as a first timer. 

Leanne Sinclair

Really enjoyable session ! This was our second go and we are already booked in for another :) 

Shwen Cox

It was two hours of giggles and excellent step by step instructions. Best part was actually looking at everyone’s finished artwork and the variety of everyone’s take on the painting was absolutely fascinating! 

Lynn (MG) Hansell

Great fun. Would suggest for a staff member to ask if anyone wanted another drink from the bar since it’s at the ground floor and the event is at the top floor. 

Alexandra Foster

My friend and I had such a lovely time with Paint Chill Co in Gunwharf. The atmosphere was lovely, everybody was very friendly and helpful and all of the resources were provided and great quality. Definitely will return!

Natalie Grant

We had a wonderful evening painting the Jellyfish! Charlotte is an expert at guiding novices to producing something to be proud of! She is also an expert in helping those like myself who are growing in their confidence and ability! If you haven't tried one of these yet then it's definitely worth doing! 

Samantha Phippard

We had a great fun evening and met some lovely people! Who knew we could paint a jelly fish!!!!

Carole Harris

Great night. So much fun. Took my sister for her birthday. 

Justine Rustell

Gemma Kwiatkowski

Thoroughly enjoyed it! I went solo and thought it might feel really weird but it didn't as it was really relaxed and everyone was sat in a row so I didn't look the odd one out lol 
The instructor kept it at a good pace, whilst still giving everyone enough time to be and feel artistic! I did better than I thought I would as I struggle to draw a decent stick person! So literally anyone can try this! Highly recommended for a nice evening out 

Anita Green

Great evening, very well organised,  great for beginners  too... would highly recommend  .

Marie  Bligh

Love these painting classes! The teacher is so friendly and helpful, the venues are always nice so happy when I come out of these classes just booked another one to do the sunflower made sure I have told everyone I know how wonderful the classes are thank you! 

Ute Saunders

We had a fabulous time painting our jellyfish. The class was well paced and we had time to chat and some drinks alongside our painting activity. Great way to spend an evening and all 3 of us said we’d love to come back and do another one. 

Kelsie Walmsley

Class was fun and interesting. Very talented art teachers who made it easy to follow and understand. Thankyou fot a great evening.

Rachel Jones

Another great night of painting.  It's becoming very addictive.  This was a new instructor so was a little more difficult to follow but still thoroughly enjoyed it and came away with a great picture to display. 

kim hopper

Brilliant evening. We went as a group of 4 and still felt we were engaging with each other whilst being taught what to do. Great music and atmosphere too! 

Karen  Biddle 

Teresa Chearman

I had an amazing time really enjoyed myself, I was a little worried I wouldn’t be able to keep up but I was fine it was a great pace thank-you so much 

Zoe Bird

Rhian was again, an AMAZING host and teacher. She's fantastic, always puts so much confidence into the paintings and is just beautiful through and through! 
 Took two of my friends, and they thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening! 
 Would recommend to anyone! Love every workshop I've been to so far! Xx

Teresa Clark

Absolutely fantastic. Great atmosphere, fantastic night. Artist explained well and encouraged everyone 

Nicola Ricciardi

I consider myself a “senior guest” due several participation, for first time I give you less than five stars due the material suppled.
Can’t make the jelly fish in so small canvas, the  brush are too big to make some details like reference. I don’t mind pay few pounds more for right canvas, please add canvas size on the next advisement . 
Teacher was good, we had fun but feel frustrating that in last year change canvas size in all class, yesterday was worse…

Alana Jackson

My 3 friends and I really enjoyed our paint chill co session, painting jellyfish last night.
It was very well taught with clear instructions and tips and very well organised.
We all had lovely paintings to take home and we would definitely come again. Thank you

Louise  Otter

This was my 6th event because  I absolutely love attending them! I've completed the dragonfly, bumblebee, flamingo, whale, sunflower & last night the jellyfish. 
These events have provided me with a new hobby & love for being creative. I now paint my own paintings at home, using the time for relaxation, creativity, wellbeing & embracing my innerchild. 
I proudly display my paintings on the wall of my stairs. Everyone sees them & they bring smiles to people's faces. 
I cannot wait to develop my skills next year where I am aiming for an event once a month! 
The ladies are lovely who run the events. They are friendly, encouraging & make the evening a great experience.
Thank you, PaintChillCo. See you next in 2025!

Rachael Bull

What a lovely evening of painting. Rhian was welcoming and supportive and took us through step-by-step on how to create something that we would feel proud of by the end of the session. It's true what they say, you don't need any great ability - trust the process. The only small niggle would be that the quiz next door was unnecessarily loud and to some this may spoil the atmosphere of a relaxing class. Overall though, amazing!

Painting: "Highland Cow" by Local Artists and Jessa, founder of Paint Chill Co


Paint n Sip Bar Event "Highland Cow"

Rosie Davies

Me and my friends really enjoy this session. Definitely recommend as it something totally different, relaxing and enjoyable. 

Jenny Ayling

Such a lovely evening. Clear instructions, relaxed atmosphere and very friendly host. I will be back, and certainly reccomend to anyone.

CLAIRE GARLICK

Fantastic evening painting with friends. I am an absolute novice and managed to produce a painting worthy of hanging up. Easy to follow tuition, a relaxing and fun evening spent. Will be back! 

Gemma Hayes

What a lovely way to spend an evening with good friends, wine and paintbrushes. Something different and very therapeutic 

Jackie Sanders

Fantastic evening , Jessa  is a great teacher really easy to follow her  painting techniques  I booked my place on the  highland cow   Paint and chill after following Jessa through lockdown so when I meet her I felt I knew her already  such a lovely enjoyable evening   My daughter and granddaughter also attended it was a gift for her birthday  they  both had a great evening too , recommend paint chill to anyone who likes painting 

Leanne  Sinclair 

Really enjoyable evening and I am a total beginner and was really happy with my painting! Could not recommend more! 

Julie Hammett

Excellent class, well run and Charlotte had the patience of a saint with all of us.

Can't wait to go to my next one. 

Angela Lee

2nd visit and it was brilliant evening again - so many laughs - thank you

Julie  Laws

Brilliant evening actually came away with a painting of a highland cow and this is someone who cannot draw so I was thrilled. 
Definitely recommend the experience. 

Deborah Malcolm

Fabulous and fun evening. The painting turned out fabulous, and the instructions were easy to follow. Loved it and high recommend!

Laura Neal

For a long while, my friend had been suggesting I accompany her to one of these events as she felt is was right up my boulevard. Well she was spot on. I spent a wonderful couple of hours just sitting with a large glass of red in one hand, paint brush in the other and following the very clear, step-by-step instructions. The atmosphere was fabulous, with really supportive and encouraging people running it. If you've never been before because you're worried your painting will look like it was done by a foot, then come along. It's not about the product, it's the journey, the company (I had such a laugh) and of course the wine. Best of all you leave with your own artwork! As a teacher I often feel tired and stressed but after this session I felt relaxed and accomplished 😌  Thank you Paint and Chill, I've already booked my next one!

Nicola Martenstyn

Brilliant evening out with some friends.  Kat our art guru was fabulous and very patient and what seemed like an impossible task was made to look easy and achievable with step by step guidance.  AWESOME.

Rebecca Carter

Lovely evening painting the Highland cow. Came away with a great painting while spending time in a great location and having some quality time with my daughter. Highly recommend for a fun evening. 

Georgina  Tapley 

Kelly Lim

Another fun evening with paint n chill. Beautiful venue and helpful instructor to help guide us through the painting. It’s both social and mindfulness of quality me time. Bonus with a beautiful unique peace of art to take home! Strongly recommended either just for self or friends or corporate team event. 

YVETTE HILL

Very much enjoyed this, amazed my canvas actually looked like what it was supposed to. Clear tuition. Thankyou 

Helen Hobman

What a great way to spend a Wednesday evening, I haven't picked up a brush since 1978 when I was at school and never used acrylics,  it was amazing how quickly the painting came together, and when I glanced along the line of fellow artists it actually gave me goosebumps to see such amazing creations appearing before our very eyes, thank you for making me believe I can actually create a piece good enough to hang 

Sarah boxall

Maria Rose

I had the most fantastic time. I went on my own as I’m new to Southsea and everyone was so warm and welcoming! It was nice to have some time to sit and be creative, have fun with it and no judgement! Fantastic atmosphere, brilliant teachers, if you’re contemplating doing it, do it - plus there’s the bonus of grabbing yourself a drink. What’s not to like :)

Sadie Bartosz-bowden

Absolutely brilliant! Charlotte was a great instructor and had a giggle along with us all too.
Highly recommended to friends at work that then booked it to have a go!

Jessica Dalhuisen

Such an incredible experience! Went in extremely nervous as I have no artistic talent at all but I felt at ease straight away and everything was modelled and explained clearly. Will highly recommend  and will definitely be back! 

Esther Kent

We painted the Highland Cow, it was such a great evening. Great tutor, and easy to follow. Our first time, but won't be the last. Thank you

Alexandra Price

Absolutely brilliant evening.  Thoroughly enjoyed our first time at Paint n Sip.  Very informative, relaxed and fun atmosphere.  Definitely recommend.  First time picked up a paint brush in almost 40 years.  Even our “Highland Cows” looked pretty good.  

Alison  Norum

A really relaxing way to spend the evening. Easy to follow instructions and a fun picture to take home. 

Emma Tracey

Always love the paint classes. It amazes me how talented we all are. Have recommended this to work social club either as a social thing or as a team building challenge. Thought we could auction the paintings after for charity. 2 hours of bliss and laughter. 

Marilyn  Robinson 

Don’t need to be able to draw or paint.  Great instruction enabling a good result.  Good fun.

Claire brown

Was an amazing evening! Everyone really friendly and loved the outcome! Going to a different one next week x

Lucy Sanders

Such a fun evening! My friends and I did the Highland Cow evening at Panero Lounge and it was great! Really well instructed and so good to see what we all created!

Angela Fairweather

Fantastic experience painting the lovely Highland Cow. 10/10 and we'll definitely be back again - this was our second painting session.  We had a great time with instructions that were easy to follow, are very proud of our creations  and the Still & West was a lovely location 

Elaine Robertson

Anita Simmons

Samantha clark

I had an absolutely amazing time last night painting the Highland cow. I had only previously done the online tutorials so it was daunting in person but we were made to feel so comfortable and given help and advise and were so happy with how it came out. Cant wait to come again

Absolutely loved this. Took my Mum as her Christmas present. Looking to bring my fiancé to one soon.

Lorraine  Willis

Enjoyed the event, but could’ve done with an extra half hour. Great tutor!

Deb Otter

We really enjoyed this event,  2 of us had done the whale painting before which we found equally enjoyable.  It was my friend's first time and she loved it - would thoroughly recommend this to anyone .  If you think you can't paint try it you'll be surprised under the lovely guidance of the host.
