Paint together
You paint another person or work from a photo. Guided, playful and focused on observation, not realistic results.
A true creative break
This is not a fast paint event or a portrait class. It’s time to slow down, connect and enjoy the process.
Food & drinks included
Sit down, take a break, share a meal. Everything is part of the experience.
For two or just for you
Come with a friend, partner or on your own. All constellations are welcome.
Payment confirms your spot. Limited places available.
This workshop is part of the enilasArt Creative Break series – focused on shared time, guided creative process and slowing down.
What will you do?
This Creative Break is about painting another person using acrylic paints, in a relaxed and playful way.
You will paint from observation or from a photo, focusing on noticing shapes, colors and expressions rather than aiming for a realistic portrait.
The session is guided throughout. You are never left alone with a blank canvas, but there is no fixed result you need to copy.
What matters is the shared experience, not skill, speed or perfection.
No previous painting experience is needed.
Why this workshop is different
This workshop is not designed as a classic paint event or a portrait class.
enilasArt Creative Breaks are about slowing down on purpose and creating space for connection, presence and enjoyment.
Instead of following steps towards a predefined outcome, you are guided to observe, experiment and respond to what you see.
This approach is shaped by over a decade of teaching experience and more than 200 painting workshops and events, developed across different countries and refined over time.
The focus is not on producing something impressive, but on taking a real break from everyday pace.
What to expect
We begin with a relaxed arrival and breakfast at Cafe Carusel.
After a short introduction, the workshop moves into a guided painting session with time to observe, paint and pause.
Food and drinks are part of the experience throughout, creating space for conversation and unhurried moments.
You will leave with a finished painting and the feeling of having spent meaningful time together.
Is this workshop right for you?
This workshop is for you if:
- you want to use ystäväpäivä to spend meaningful time with someone or to consciously take time for yourself
- you enjoy calm, guided creative experiences that leave room for conversation and pauses
- you are curious about painting people in a playful, non-technical way
- you appreciate shared moments, good food and a relaxed atmosphere rather than fast-paced events
This workshop might not be for you if:
