Valley Art Workshops

Paint night events and art workshops in the Annapolis Valley Nova Scotia.

The Art Events

Paint Nights

A fun painting event for anyone, whether you have painting experience or not! These events are usually held in the evening, at a venue where you can purchase a glass of wine or beer to enjoy while you paint. 

Art Workshops

If you’re looking for something a bit quieter, calmer and more relaxing, I’d recommend my art workshops. These take place during the day and are more focused on trying specific techniques to create a particular type of artwork. You are also more free to create your own image.

Meet The Artist

Hi, I'm Isobel

Originally from Scotland, my husband and I emigrated to Nova Scotia in 2013 and I’ve been working as a fine artist since 2018. I live in the woods on the North Mountain near Centreville in the Annapolis Valley. I’m a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and you can find my work at the Teichert Gallery and Made in the Maritimes in Halifax.

The great escape 🙂

Really enjoy paint nights with Isobel! Have been to a couple and it’s a great evening to just forget about life and enjoy the process of the painting (with no experience necessary!) Lots of supplies, instruction is easy to follow along and Isobel will always help you out if you need a little extra guidance. Great fun and highly recommend!

I’ve always wanted to go to a Paint Night and finally was able to go to the cat/fireplace night with friends. The evening was so enjoyable, relaxing and fun! Isobel is a great instructor, so talented yet she made the instructions and tips easy for even us beginners! A great memory and I left with work I was proud of! I hope to do it again!

It was a lovely evening and a fun time painting with friends and others who were at sea level brewing that evening. I would definitely take part in another paint night sometime! It was a calming and relaxing environment and just brought pure joy and happiness to me.

The classes are fantastic for beginners because they provide a structured, supportive environment where you can explore your creativity without feeling overwhelmed. The fact that all the supplies were provided and you just had to show up makes it even more accessible and stress-free.

I have attended 3 of Isobel’s paint nights. The Cardinal, the Highland Coo and the Starry Night Cat. They were so much fun to do. Isobel gives excellent instructions in an easy going manner and responds well to questions and requests for more paint. Can’t wait for the next one. Artistic talent is not required!
