What we’re about

At Painting With Friends we are all about making new connections, trying your hand at new creative activities in a pressure-free, relaxed and friendly. All sessions are run by me, Katie. I'm a professional illustrator and art educator who's been living in Madrid for 10 years.
I'm passionate about building our creative community and allowing everyone to share in the joy of doing art, no matter the level, all we ask for is an open mind and the willingness to give it a try. At Sketch&Social we meet and draw at cultural and artistic spaces around Madrid, every week is a new location! Our painting workshops are based in Retiro and our art studio in barrio Salamanca district. Materials are always included.
So join us to make new friends, unleash your inner artist and experience the joy of making art in great company. I can't wait to meet you at our next event!
