“I will be taking everyone through step by step, and after two hours you will have painted a waterfall scene.”
The event is being held on February 27, from 7pm at Yates bar - it will cost £26 for a ticket but all materials are included.
“It’s a great way to meet new people and do something new,” Becca continued.

Doncaster has a youth age gap with only 6 per cent of the population within the age range 20-26 (the national average is 10-12 per cent).
Becca hopes that this will be an event to bring young people together.

She said: “There isn’t much of an art scene in Doncaster and I would love to do more of these events so that people have a more cultural activity to choose.”
Becca is a full time artist and paints on commision from her home in Loversall.
“The kind of art I create is quite realistic,” she continued.

“I’ve always just had that talent in me to paint.”
Becca will teach her method to the class of around 20 at the event.
