Colourful Wine

Paint and Sip: Slice of Summer — Saturday, 24 January (12:00–2:30pm)

Celebrate the warmth, colour, and refreshing energy of summer with Paint and Sip: Slice of Summer, taking place on Saturday 24 January from 12–2:30pm. This midday workshop is part of our Glow and Flow January Series, designed to highlight art experiences that elevate your creativity through light, colour, brightness, and calm.

Slice of Summer brings together two of the happiest visual elements of the season — lemons and ocean views. The scene features lemons hanging from lush green branches, vibrant blue water, layered mountainous silhouettes, and a simple sailboat drifting peacefully across the horizon. Fresh, uplifting, and wonderfully Mediterranean in spirit, this artwork feels like a mini summer holiday on canvas.

Whether you adore coastal themes, love cheerful colours, or simply want a relaxing weekend activity, this workshop offers a beautiful break from the everyday.
