A bit of creative upskilling!
I've decided to do a little upskilling and have started acrylic painting classes with the lovely and very talented Helena Henare.
I'm so used to having a paintbrush in my hand working on furniture, but painting on canvas is a whole different experience!
It's been really nice to be the student for a change, learning new techniques, having a go at something different and just enjoying the process. There's definitely a lot to learn, but that's all part of the fun! Aswell as hanging out with this great bunch of ladies ❤️.
I love that no matter how long you've been doing something creative, there's always something new to discover. And who knows, some of these new skills might just find their way into my Kellys Road furniture pieces! 😉
Helena is wonderful to learn from, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how my painting progresses.
If you've been thinking about trying acrylic painting yourself, I'd really encourage you to get in touch with Helena. You don't have to be an artist to give it a go!

Here's to making time for ourselves, trying something new and never being too old to learn! ❤️
