La Mer: Paint a Sardine with Rosie Nixon

Spend a creative morning by the sea with artist Rosie Nixon in this relaxed and beautifully guided painting workshop. Inspired by the colours, light and textures of the Mediterranean, La Mer invites you to create a striking sardine painting in acrylic — a subject that rewards both bold brushwork and careful observation.
Whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush or you paint regularly, this welcoming workshop is designed to meet you exactly where you are. Rosie will guide the session step-by-step using a simple teach-and-do format: she demonstrates each stage, then you paint with her support and individual guidance throughout.
By the end of the session, you will leave with your own finished sardine painting — signed and ready to hang.
