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

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.

We all enjoyed the evening and are delighted with our paintings. We never thought we would have achieved what we did. 

Had such a fantastic evening! Was a little apprehensive as not an artistic bone in my body but needn't have worried, thoroughly enjoyed it! 

Rachel Sadler

This was my first experience of paint n sip. It is a great idea, and such a different way to spend your evening.  The teacher Rhian was very patient, helpful and friendly. We are going again this evening! Highly recommend!

Fay Page

Thank you so much!! We had such a fantastic evening celebrating my mum and sisters birthdays. I love my flamingo so much and will be hanging it with pride. We’ll definitely be back to add to the collection. 

What a wonderful evening! So good I have booked up again for the following  week! 

Mark Jones

What a fantastic experience, something I thought I could never do. Was brilliant and so professional. Thank you 

Joy Sealey

Fun workshop. Well run and easy to follow. Nice relaxed atmosphere 

Sarah Wyatt

Loved doing the flamingo painting the step by step really is great  and so relaxing at the same time, you really do just focus on what your psi tint and nothing else totally recommend and great to  do with a friend.

Mrs Hayley Warren

leeanne weeks

Great evening, never been an artist but the step by step talk through was so helpful... We can't wait to book again 

Mandy Robinson

Such a fun evening. I was a bit anxious as I cannot draw or paint, but we were talked through the process and Eric the Flamingo is quite handsome. It was fun and relaxing and a lovely time spent with great people.


Lisa Uren 

Brilliant Fun. Great teacher.
I couldn't believe how good the end results were - speaking as somebody who didn't think they were any good at art!

Karen Warren

I had such an amazing night celebrating with the hen & her party!  We laughed more than expected and we created masterpieces!  Didbt think we’d be able to achieve anything!  The host was amazing too.  

Liz Craig

Such a lovely evening! I had bad experiences doing art at school so I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Rhian was a great teacher and everyone went away with a lovely painting. Thank you!

Anna Frances-Eley

Paint n sip was so relaxing, creative and fun! I think I will need to book another one. The artist kept to exactly the right pace and I created a wonderful flamingo picture. Perfect for my friends hen do 🥰🦩

Vicky Rogers

Great evening with a good friend and two lovely flamingos to take home

Antony Potts

A really great night. I'm not the most artistic of people, but my painting looks as it should. The instructor went through everything in a measured way that was both fun and informative.
I would highly recommend

Linda Orvis

Sarah  Boxall 

Great class snd teacher as always.  Hope you organise another brunch one at Alchemist again   love this 

JeanetteJeanette Cloete

This is the 4th one we’ve done and we absolutely love it every time . Have decided that it’s going to be a monthly thing as it’s so much fun!

Kathryn  May

What a great night. Teacher was really good 

Rachael Hillebrandt

I took my niece for her 40th birthday present as she has a love for 🦩We had a fab time 
would highly recommend the teacher made it so much easier than I thought it would be 😊

Natasha Gjorevska

Excellent experience! Loved every minute of it and I made a great flamingo painting. I wasn't expecting that I would be so happy with what I created, so thank you for the experience and to Maeve who was great at mentoring us and uncovering our inner artists! I highly recommend booking this.

Louise Otter

I completed my 3rd event last night & I am hooked on this model & paintings as a whole. 
I have now completed the dragonfly, bumblebee & the flamingo. I have attended on my own to my 1st & 3rd event & have been made to feel welcome. I forgot I was there alone I had so much fun. I haven't done art since school & definitely not at GCSE level. So I thought I would be rubbish. I can see my talent getting better with each painting & what surprised me was my first one wasn't rubbish because they guided you throughout every stage of the process. I've even bought painting supplies & canvases to paint at home whenever I feel the urge. Thank you, so much for helping me unleash my inner child & become creative. I love it! See you soon at my next one! 😊🎨❤️

Nicole Cox

First time doing one of these and I was so impressed. The atmosphere, the direction of the instructor, the open forum and discussions between strangers on each others paintings. 100% would recommend. I was already looking at next events to sign up for! 

Zoe Colbeck

I really enjoyed learning how to paint a flamingo. Kirstie was fun, encouraging and made everyone feel comfortable to create their style of flamingo. I hadn't painted a picture since school and I really did chill out and forget my day to day stresses! Thank you.

Sadie Peckham

Whole experience was amazing! So much fun and such a chill vibe! The tutorial is so easy to follow and there is no judgement for any experience level. Would recommend to anyone and everyone looking for an easy evening with friends or colleagues ! Cannot recommend enough! 

Ellie Hayward

Went to my first sip and paint event to paint the flamingo. I am absolutely shocking at art and drawing and am so proud of what I managed to produce. The girl leading the session was brilliant, she went at the perfect pace and gave us super clear and very helpful instructions. She was so positive and upbeat and made it a wonderful evening for everyone. I will definitely be booking on to more of these events, the only issue I have is which one to choose next!

Diane Fairman

It was amazing!! With easy to follow instructions in a fun environment I really feel like I painted a masterpiece with no previous experience at all.  Will definitely be booking again soon 

Get you flock of fabulous friends together to paint some stunning flamingos. No experience needed!
