Plant Based Paintings

Plant Based Paintings is a hands-on painting workshop running in Plymouth on Wednesday 14 October. The session is built around making a whimsical mushroom painting, and it's designed to be simple to follow, so you don't need to be an experienced artist to get stuck in.

The whole thing is described as super fun and full of bold colours, and the plant-based part of the title isn't just for show — the paints are made from plant materials. It's a creative session that sits at the intersection of creative health, combined arts, visual art and wellbeing, so it's as much about the process of making as it is about the finished piece. You'll be guided through the steps, working your way towards a finished mushroom painting that you can take home with you.

If you've been looking for something creative to do mid-week, this fits the bill. It's a hands-on workshop, so you'll be painting throughout rather than just watching a demonstration, and the focus is on bold colours and a whimsical subject. It's a good one if you're after a relaxed way to spend a few hours and want to come away with something you've actually made yourself.
