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

Fabulous class. It was my first but definitely not my last. Charlotte went through the process step by step, easy to follow and could be creative and add your own flare. Was  thrilled with my highland cow painting. Thank you,, a great way to spend and evening with friends. See you again in July

Samantha  Rolls 

Great fun! Step by step instructions and everyone came out with something that resembles a highland cow.

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 

Stephanie Cummins

Have done a few paintings now, and this one was just as much fun as the others! Such a great evening , would highly recommend!

Charlie Kerton

Such a super way to spend an evening! Thank you so much 🎨 

Petra Reid

Great evening! Only thing that let it down was the venue layout. If you had your back to the host it was really difficult/uncomfortable to keep looking over your shoulder. 

ALEKSANDRA POTTER

amazing evening, Very clear instructions so easy to follow 

SHEREE JONES

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

Joanna Cane

Really lovely evening. So pleased with my picture x

Sarah Paterson

What a fab evening! As a complete novice I am astounded by what I created in 2 hrs under such expert tuition. My highland cow is proudly on display and I’d highly recommend this for a fun night out. 

Daisy Atkinson

This was the second time we've been! So much fun, would recommend to anyone :)

Abbie Drinkwater

It was such a fun, and amazing evening. Lots of laughs and now know how to paint a highland cow! Will definitely recommend and go again 

Donna Hannaford 

My first time doing this workshop and loved every minute.  The teacher gave very precise instructions and help was on hand when needed. Would definitely attend another one

Holly Hannaford 

Absolutely loved this workshop. Was a bit nervous to start but once I got started and followed the very clear instructions, I was well on my way. Will be booking on another workshop soon.

Becky Richards

Kelly Wiltshire

We had a brilliant time! The artist running the event was very good at helping us, step by step, and was very patient with us! 😀 Can’t wait to do another! 

Brooke Holloway

Very good enjoyed it completely learnt some new things and we all did a very good painting in the end! I think it was Ellie but the lady teaching was really good and you wouldn't believe it's her first time

Kate Patfield

Alison Jamee

Loved it best one so far, love my cow, great night will book another xx thank you

Me and my mum had the best evening! We painted highland cows and they both came out incredible, I love them! Such a great evening. Will definitely be back again 

Jo Beaton

Had the most amazing experience with my daughter and friends. None of us could paint but with the expertise of Rhian such a brilliant artist and teacher , we all had a fantastic fun filled evening and came home with a wonderful painting of a Highland cow painted by us . Can’t wait to go to another event .

Helen Harrison

We had a fabulous evening of artistic prowess none of us knew we had in us, all thanks to Mavis at PaintChillCo Highland Cow night! Thank you we loved it x

Jennifer Aparo

Took the family to celebrate a birthday and we absolutely loved the lesson, it was easy to follow and all of us produced a highland cow to be proud of! Told all my friends and recommended the sessions and we will definitely be going again. The teacher was brilliant too we went to The Custom House, Gunwharf on Wednesday 31st July 2024

Pauline  Witts

Amazing! I was really worried my painting would be awful but with the amazing step by step instructions I feel I did pretty well.
Fun atmosphere & a relaxed environment. 

Lorna  Turner

Brilliant evening out with my mum and sister. We all love our paintings and love how different they all turned out. Really great instructions given and a fun atmosphere. 

Jonquil Tuson 

Great evening, 2nd time here. Can’t wait for a third! 

Fiona Cook

We had a wonderful time with Paint Chill Co! Mavis was so friendly and had an excellent balance for novices and experts. So lovely to catch up with friends by doing something different. 

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.

Marie Stopforth

Rhian was fab!  I love my Highland cow.  Such a lovely evening 

From the great highlands to a bar near you, let create some fluffy highland cows while have a drink with friends.

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


Paint n Sip Bar Event "Chameleon"

Emma Benson

Was a lot of fun, the teacher was great, spoke clearly and came and gave pointers if needed, it was a nice relaxed group of people.
Lovely space, although it did get a little dark once the sun went down. 

We found it trickier than expected, we thought the outline was going to be on the canvas, lol

But would definitely go again! 

Thanks! 

Marina Pomeroy 

I went along to my first event last night and it was a very enjoyable experience. Rian made me feel welcome and was a great instructor. The evening was relaxed and fun and I came away with my picture of a chameleon x

Emily  Astbury 

Loved painting the chameleon! Turned out better than expected. Good drinks and company too 😁 would definitely do this again. 

Daniela Rangel

Thomas Chappell

I booked this out for a works team night out, after the team very kindly managed to squeeze us in! We had a great time and was highly commended by my colleagues and described as one of our best team nights out! 

Marissa Biggs

Love coming to do the painting second time doing it, would like to know who paints the original one we copy though as not the instructor be nice if it was her artwork in the first place

Carina Turner

Fun way to spend an evening, made to feel welcome, good venue

Paint fun and free with our charming chameleon design. The best way to enjoy a night out in Portsmouth.

Painting: "Waterfall" by local Artists and Jessa, Founder of Paint Chill Co


Paint n Sip Bar Event "Waterfall"

Zoe  Gardner

Had a wonderful time, only downful was the layout was poor compared to previous painting I have attended in the still and west. It did make it difficult to see anything from where we were sat, but the artist did come round the room with the painting

Lucy Stone

I went to this with a few friends and it was great. I have never painted as an adult, so had no idea how my painting would turn out, but I was pretty chuffed with it. Will be booking again.

Karin Garrad

Lesley Swann

The host was fabulous and so easy to follow each step of the painting.
I really enjoyed learning about painting techniques, how to brushes at different angles and strokes.
The waterfall was a pleasure to paint, especially the cascading water on the rocks and small foliage.

Leica Sancto

I thoroughly enjoy my paint chill evenings. Such a lovely way to learn a new skill & take home your own canvas. I only wish it was a little longer as the second session can feel a little rushed but I guess it is getting late by then. Thoroughly enjoy the venue as you can have a drink whilst you paint & chat to your friends or people next to you so it’s very sociable & relaxed. I’ve just booked another at The Alchemist. Thoroughly recommend 😁

Anne Bevis 

Good evening I was a little sceptical as have done art before, wasn’t that keen on the waterfall piece I was attending but all in all a great location, and fun ! 

Maggie Morris

Our host Daisy Tomlin was amazing and although I don’t feel I have any artistic flair she was encouraging and complimentary and I had a lovely experience.  Highly recommend this for a fun evening.

Clare Shann

Had a great time with Paint and Chill at the Alchemist, Gunwharf. Made a great date night for me and the hubby and would highly recommend it! 

Angela Black

Really fun! Attended to try out painting and was very beginner friendly, RH talked everyone through the steps in a really accessible way. Was quite proud of the finished result even though I've never picked up a paintbrush before 🥰

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


Paint n Sip Bar Event "Colourful Eye"

Suzy Haskell

Really enjoyed painting the colourful eye, so many colours blending together and it lways amazes me how good the finished product is. Trust the process they say and it works!

Susan Elvin

I was very disappointed with the ‘’ Colourful Eye’’ event I attended, the instructor giving the class showed a lack of engagement with the group and was at one point quite  dismissive to a participants question about how they should approach doing a particular part of the painting. 
She gave no instruction in the technique of using the brushes or paints and failed to inject a sense of fun to the evening. 
I was looking forward to doing more events but given my disappointment I won’t be making any more bookings with 
Paint n Sip 

Helen Warne

Absolutely brilliant class, lovely teacher and great fun! Will definitely be back! 

Nishal Patel

Always a great evening. Really enjoyed painting the eye. And Drinks & giggles with friends. Can't wait till the next one.  

Tracey Dean

Loved the whole evening. At school my painting was very bad. The experience has given me the confidence to paint my own pictures. I have given them as gifts and they have been gratefully received.

Kerry West

Absolutely loved my second session at Paint & Chill! Host was lovely and friendly and explained everything so well including the techniques to get the desired look! Absolutely recommend and will definitely be back for a third time!

Jane  Sheldrake 

Brilliant evening! First time painted since school and will definitely do again 

Karen Webb

Lovely evening, great interaction with everyone , fabulous class , I have attended many Paint and Chill classes , my only disappointment was the canvas size has reduced in size to all my previous sessions. 

Grab a drink…..and a paint brush!
