Paint Your Mate: A Portrait Evening in Oil Pastel
An evening of colour, laughter, and creative connection. In this playful yet expressive session, you and a friend will take turns becoming muse and maker - creating bold, vibrant portraits of one another using rich oil pastels and a painterly, Van Gogh-inspired style.
You’ll be guided through techniques to loosen your line, explore expressive mark-making, and let colour lead the way. This isn’t about perfect likeness, it’s about capturing energy, gesture, and the joy of seeing someone you know through a creative lens.
Seated face to face, you'll swap roles - one drawing, one sitting - and leave with portraits as unique and full of personality as your friendship. Expect vivid colour, swirling lines, and a relaxed, uplifting evening.
A glass of wine is included to sip as you draw, and all materials are provided.
Each person must book their own ticket, bring your favourite mate, and let the creativity flow.
DATE: TBC
TIME: 6.30–8.30pm * Arrive 15 minutes before starting time
LOCATION: Mount Art Sessions – Mount Maunganui
INCLUDED: All art materials and supplies, oil pastels, and a glass of wine
BRING: Your painting partner - each guest must purchase a ticket
