Paint with Joy: Expressive Botanicals!

Date: Saturday March 21
Time: 10:30-12:30
Cost: $30
Registration open until 5:00pm, Monday, March 16, 2026

Treat yourself or someone else (or both of you!) to a fun girls’ day out! No previous skills required. Come as you are! You will be led step by step to create a masterpiece you can hang in your home, workplace, or give as a gift. Adults and teens are welcome.

Our boutique manager, Joy, is a hobby-artist who loves to unwind and relax by painting or drawing. She enjoys various art mediums including watercolor, gouache, acrylic, paint markers, and colored pencils! Her “make your own mixed media greeting card” class at the WAR Chest Boutique was a hit, and she’s back to share her expertise with you in a fun new class.

As we look forward to spring, we’ll paint some botanical, floral artwork inspired by Scandinavian art prints and Joy’s favorite flower: tulips! Please wear something you won’t mind getting paint on! There’s no need to dress up for this occasion. It’s a cozy, laid back experience.

The cost of the class includes some light refreshments and all art supplies necessary! You will also receive a free 30-day trial of the art app, Cupixel, which pairs state-of-the-art technology with live and on-demand content enabling anyone to experience the joy and satisfaction of creating art, regardless of their artistic skill. Cupixel has kindly donated some of their proprietary device stands so we can use their tracing technology during this class. Their tech requires a smart-phone or device. If you do not have a device available, we can provide another way to trace the design on your canvas. Joy will encourage you to use their app if you can. (It’s a lot of fun!) She’s excited to share it with you, and we thank Cupixel for their kind donation! If you wish to continue creating art after the class, you’ll find loads of inspiration through their app. Beyond the 30-day trial, you’ll have the option to continue with a paid membership.

Shopping in the boutique will be available before and after the event. Participants will be offered 10% off one item at regular price the day of the class as a thank you for attending! The boutique opens at 10:00am and closes at 3:00pm. If you don’t feel your painting is finished at 12:30, you will be welcome to stay a while later to complete it.

The example images are just that: examples! You’ll be able to customize your painting with the colors and details of your choice! We can’t wait to see your final products!
