Central Queensland might discover a young Pablo Picasso or Frida Kahlo this Easter holidays at Paint and Sip Studios’ art camps in Rockhampton and Yeppoon.

The camps for eight to 15 year olds last two-and-a-half hours and include the canvas, paints, easel, apron and brushes.

The Yeppoon studio will host a camp on Wednesday, April 13 and Rockhampton will host a camp on Thursday, April 14.

Parents can also continue to book kid-friendly workshops for their aspiring artists aged between five and 16 years old over Easter.

The creative minds behind the studios said it was the perfect play date, unique weekend activity or birthday party.
