Art Jamming at Arteastiq

A few weeks ago, one of my colleagues suddenly asked me to go art jamming with her at Arteastiq. Having heard a fair bit about it but have never had the time nor found anyone interested in going with me, I've never been there. So I said yes to this colleague immediately.

Upon reaching there, we were asked to select our pictures from the files they had. Once you've selected a picture, they would give you a colour print out of it so you can refer to it while you paint. Alternatively, you can bring your own picture too.

You also get to select one of the beverages they have. 

There weren't really anything I fancied and I was a little afraid I may choose something totally out of my league so I chose a cute picture.

A while later...haha I had to redraw the "cliffs" as they were too high up on the canvas initially, my man had no space to stand nor space for the hearts!

My finished piece!

Word of advice, these cute pictures may look simple and easy, but the different shades are enough to kill. My advice if you're a beginner is, go for abstract art. That way, even if you mess it up it's okay!

It was actually pretty fun and for 3 hours you forget about the world outside and just immerse yourself in the painting. Kind of like reading a good book actually. It was fun and kind of relaxing too I had a great time! If only it weren't so pricey, I probably would go back every week!

After painting you get to bring your painting home! :) Highly recommended activity for groups of friends, couples and if you like to paint and haven't done it for a long time or if you just wanna try painting! Don't worry you don't need to be an expert to enjoy it.
