Paint, Paws & Mansfield

Bring your best friend and create a piece of Mansfield history together!

What could be better than spending some creative time with your four-legged friend?

You'll start with a printed line drawing based on one of Albert Buxton's historic paintings of Mansfield from the late 1800s, printed onto watercolour paper. Then it's over to you and your pooch to bring it to life.

Use watercolours to recreate the historic scene, but make it your own by adding your dog into the picture. Perhaps they're exploring an old Mansfield street, sitting outside a historic building or simply enjoying the scene with you. You can add whatever you like to create a picture that is personal to you and your dog.

It's a chance to look at Mansfield's past, get creative and make something together with your best friend — with no artistic experience needed.

You'll take your finished artwork home, creating a unique keepsake of you, your dog and Mansfield.
