Paint & Pause

18/10/2026

✨Fancy a couple of hours to slow down and do something just for you? 🎨

Paint & Pause Watercolour Club is at The Red Lion this Tuesday 20 October. It’s a relaxed watercolour evening where no experience is needed and definitely no pressure to be “good at art”!

Spaces are still available. The details are on the poster; just send me a message if you’d like to come along 💛 🙋🏻‍♀️

Thankyou for a wonderful evening everyone. I don’t know about you, but I feel fully relaxed now and ready to get some shut-eye 💤

🤗 I’ve been a little quiet on here lately… but Paint & Pause certainly hasn’t. 🎨

So here we are, all our Brightlingsea dates from now until Christmas. 👀 ✨

If you’ve been thinking about coming but haven’t quite taken the plunge, consider this your little nudge.

Come because you need a couple of hours where nobody needs anything from you.

Come because you’d like to do something creative again.

Come with a friend for a different kind of evening together.

Or come completely on your own, lots of people do, and you won’t feel like the odd one out.

There’s no expectation to be artistic and absolutely no pressure to create something “good”. We paint, chat, have a cuppa, try things out and enjoy having two hours to ourselves.

Dates until Christmas are:
🎨 29th September
🎨 13th & 27th October
🎨 10th & 24th November
🎄 8th December

£25 first session : including your own art journal and all materials
£20 returning guests
Refreshments included

Fancy joining us?
Message or WhatsApp me on 07535 680060 with the date you’d like to come, or use the payment link below.

Your place is confirmed once payment has been received, let me know when you’ve sent it.

📍 Brightlingsea : the address will be sent to you once your place is confirmed.

You don’t need to know what we’re painting beforehand. Just come, switch off for a couple of hours and enjoy the evening.

And if you know someone who could do with a little Paint & Pause in their life, send this their way. ✨🫶🏼 🎨

🎨✨ Last night was exactly what I hoped Paint & Pause would be. 🎨✨

A room full of new faces who, for a couple of hours, put everything else to one side and just enjoyed painting together. There was lots of chatting, plenty of laughter and a really lovely atmosphere.

Were our fish perfect? Definitely not.
But that was never the point. It was about taking some time for ourselves, trying something different and enjoying being creative without any pressure (we even did some practise taking the pressure away from ourselves).

Seeing everyone leave smiling and hearing how much they enjoyed the evening reminded me why I started Paint & Pause in the first place.

Thank you to everyone who came. I can’t wait to see some of you again, and hopefully welcome a few more new faces next time. ✨🎨✨

🎨 First session: £25
🎨 Returning guests: £20

✨🎨😴 Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you’ve forgotten to make time for yourself?? Paint & Pause isn’t about creating perfect art…

It’s actually about switching off the noise for a couple of hours, enjoying a cuppa, meeting lovely people and giving yourself permission to slow down to improve your wellbeing.

No prior experience required. No pressure. No judgement whatsoever.

Just gentle watercolour painting, journalling, relaxation and a cosy atmosphere designed to help you recharge.

Many guests arrive saying they’re “not creative” and leave feeling calmer, lighter and surprised by what they’ve created.

📅 Tuesday 14th July : 7-9pm
📅 Tuesday 21st July : 7-9pm

💷 £25 first session (includes your own art journal to keep)
💷 £20 returning guests

✔ All materials provided
✔ Refreshments included
✔ Small friendly group

Spaces are limited now for 21st July and booking is essential.
Message me to reserve your place and I’ll send full venue details once your booking is confirmed.

A club for unwinding your mind, not perfect painting.

Missing tea - just an update on the missing tea from Tuesdays session. It turns out I’d put it in a “safe place” in one of the kitchen cupboards 🤷🏻‍♀️ mystery solved!

Stay tuned for July and August dates releasing soon 🗓️
