Mel's Brush and Bottle

Mel's Brush and Bottle Guided art parties with friends, food & fizzy. Based in the Scenic Rim, Queensland Just like a lot of you, I work full-time. lol

I have spent many years in adult education, training people to use computer software, and I have also spent years in business advice. Combining my art with my aptitude for training, this time I'm bringing fun to people's lives. So, please note that I can only take bookings for weekends & some evenings - please message for availability, as booking ahead is important! Pricing is $30 per person inclu

ding materials. Attendee numbers are required at least 7 days ahead so I can ensure I have enough canvases. I can arrange an invoice for you if this for a work function. What you need at your end is somewhere to hold the party, with enough space for people to spread out - think of it as needing around two table spaces per person. We will need access to water to use for painting & somewhere to dispose of the rubbish afterwards. Near a loo is preferable as some people tend to get paint on themselves instead of a canvas!

This is a bit more difficult - painting "feelings", so I have: "the calmness of a susurration," "where home feels like," and "headache"
Again, not finished pieces at all, just getting a bit of expression onto paper.

OK, so this is me getting back into my art. I'm doing a brilliant Art course at the moment and today's challenge involved using 3 colours (plus black and white for shading), listening to one song on repeat, and limiting the time spent to 15 minutes on three pieces that you don't necessarily finish.
I attached the song to this post, so now I don't want to talk about it... 😉

Sadly, there were not enough people for the dancing lady painting this weekend, so we had to cancel.

I went for coffee with some friends this morning and this was the artistry on my mug! :) 🎄

Tonight's beautiful paintings from these lovely ladies - I did say "cheese", but one of them said they'd rather have s so it was instant laughter 😃
I am always amazed at how everyone's art is so very different 🎨 🖌
