Sip and Paint: Piglet Pastels (Session 1)

Learn to draw and paint a piglet in pastels at The White Horse Inn, Whitwell, in the first of two Tuesday sessions on 7 July. £35 covers both mornings.

Presented by portraitsbyfleur

Sip and Paint returns to The White Horse Inn in Whitwell for a two-part pastel class built around a piglet subject. Session one runs on Tuesday 7 July from 10.30am to 12.30pm, with step-by-step tuition, all equipment provided and all abilities welcome in the pub room.

The £35 fee covers both Tuesday mornings on 7 and 14 July, so you are booking the pair rather than a single drop-in. Organiser portraitsbyfleur runs the class in an informal pub setting: enough structure to get a finished piece, relaxed enough that you do not need to arrive with art-school confidence. The piglet subject is deliberately cheerful, which suits beginners who want a result they are happy to show someone. Early booking is essential and refunds are not available, so only commit once your diary is clear for both dates.

Whitwell sits on the south of the island between Ventnor and the quieter lanes towards the west, which makes a mid-morning class easy to combine with a coastal walk if the weather is kind. The White Horse is a familiar village pub, so you can stay for lunch afterwards without hunting for somewhere else to eat. Contact portraitsbyfleur on 07875150810 to secure a place.
