Every fortnight the Elephant Wrestler bar and restaurant in Takapuna hosts social painting classes, with no artistic experience required. By 7pm, groups of families and friends were seated, wearing aprons, in front of their very own blank canvas. A colour palette of wet paint, a fresh brush, water cup and a complimentary drink were the tools available. Guest artists guide the novice painters through step-by-step on how to create their very own take-home artwork. The day Channel visited, budding artists tackled a snowy Japanese landscape, and proudly took their creations home.
