    Who hasn’t seen those cheerful “Happy Ladies” paintings? Colorful, exuberant, and so recognizable that they instantly make you want to pick up a paintbrush yourself. And here’s the good news: you can! During this painting workshop, you’ll learn step by step how to bring your own “Fat Ladies” to life on canvas. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be Rembrandt—as long as your brush doesn’t end up in your coffee, you’ll be just fine. It’s no wonder this is one of the most popular workshops for bachelorette parties, girls’ nights out, and even company outings. Because let’s face it: laughing, chatting, and painting together while the ladies on your canvas get happier (and maybe a little naughtier), isn’t that just a blast?

    INSPIRATION

    Painting workshops for plus-size women throughout the Netherlands

    Fancy a creative afternoon where you don’t have to stick to the lines? Then the “Pudgy Ladies” painting workshop is exactly what you’re looking for! This isn’t about perfect proportions or serious art rules, but about cheerful colors, playful shapes, and a good dose of fun. Think of curvy ladies wearing sunglasses, glasses of wine in hand, and an attitude that says, “We’re celebrating life, period.” Under the guidance of an enthusiastic artist, you’ll transform a blank canvas into your own masterpiece, step by step. Don’t worry: you don’t have to be Rembrandt. With a little imagination, a few brushstrokes, and maybe a touch of daring, the most hilarious and charming paintings come to life. Meanwhile, there’s laughter, chatting, and sometimes even the discovery that there’s a hidden Picasso inside you (or at least a cheerful amateur having a fantastic afternoon). At the end, you’ll take home not only a colorful painting, but also a head full of memories and maybe some muscle aches from laughing. In short: this workshop is pure enjoyment in every way.

    Cheerful shapes, playful details, and a healthy dose of imagination.

    The "Fat Ladies" Painting Workshop is the perfect creative activity for anyone looking for color, fun, and a good dose of humor. This workshop isn’t about perfect proportions or clean lines, but rather cheerful shapes, playful details, and a healthy dose of imagination. The result? A work of art brimming with joy, conviviality, and sometimes a touch of self-deprecating humor. Because let’s be honest: often, the Fat Ladies look surprisingly like ourselves on vacation—glass of wine in hand, sunglasses on, and enjoying life. The best part is that you can take this workshop at the most charming locations in the Netherlands. In Amsterdam, you’ll paint amidst the canals and bicycles, and your canvas might just seem to depict a tourist holding a stroopwafel. In Rotterdam, your painting will become just as bold and sassy as the skyline, while in Utrecht, the Dikke Dames almost naturally turn into bon vivants strolling past the Dom Tower. In The Hague, they take on a touch of royal allure, often with a little crown or a chic beach hat, and afterward you can roll right on over to Scheveningen for some extra inspiration.

    All you have to do is show up in a good mood.

    If you head to Eindhoven, you’ll notice that the paintings there always seem a bit futuristic: perhaps it’s because of the “City of Light” itself, but the ladies sparkle almost as if they’ve just stepped out of a Glow Festival. In Maastricht, on the other hand, your creations take on a Burgundian twist: a good glass of wine, a cheese platter, or a slice of vlaai suddenly appears on the canvas. In Den Bosch, the temptation lurks to dip your brush into a Bossche bol instead of paint, while in Groningen the ladies seem just as down-to-earth as the city itself—until you discover that your painting is actually bursting with color. And in Zwolle, with its old streets and cozy atmosphere, the Dikke Dames sometimes look just like market women who have been cheerfully hawking their wares for centuries. The beauty of this workshop is that you don’t need to know how to paint to enjoy it. Under the guidance of an enthusiastic artist, you’ll create a cheerful painting step by step that you can take home with you right away. The materials are ready, the brushes are waiting, and the aprons are hanging for you. All you have to do is show up in a good mood. In between, there’s time for coffee, tea, or a drink—and of course for plenty of laughter, because believe us: no two paintings are alike.
