#BrushAwayTheBlues
Sunday 13th October 2024
On 13th October 2024, I will be doing 15 paintings in 15 hours for the 1 in 15 people who attempt suicide in the course of their lifetime. I am doing this to try and raise £15,000 for the charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably).
As well as online, the public can take part at Founders & Co, Swansea where I will be based for the duration of the day, and all materials/equipment provided to those wanting to take part. As part of this fundraising, I am hoping to break the world record for the greatest number of people painting simultaneously.
How to get involved
1. Paint Online via Facebook live
2. Paint together at Founders & Co
3. Buy my artwork from auction site (More info coming soon)
4. Donate via Just Giving page here:
In order to hit our fundraising target of £15,000, we are going need as many people as possible to get involved. As well as tuning in to the live stream via my Facebook page (@thepaintalonglady), you can also paint with me at Founders & Co, where I will be based. To book on one of the live sessions at Founders and Co, see my events page here or scroll down to book on.
Please note: If you are joining me at Founders & Co for one of the bookable sessions, I will be based in The Potting Shed, a small room at Founders, which will be set up with my cameras for the live feed. This live stream will be played on screens through out the venue, for people to follow along with.
The Just Giving page is already active and accepting donations. Every £ raised will be going to CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably).

The Just Giving page for the event is already active and accepting donations. Ever £ raised will be going to CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably).
As part of the fundraising, I will also be auctioning off my artwork that I have created at my Paint Along events over the years. The auction site can be found here, it will go live from 6th October for people to place their bids. More info will be coming soon about this!
What you'll need to join in
I'll be using the same five colours and three brushes for all 15 paintings. These are the same colours and brushes that I use for all my events and online video Paint Alongs. If you are joining me at Founders & Co in Swansea, all paint and materials are provided.
The colours I use are black, white, yellow, blue and magenta pink (or red is fine).
Where can I get paint from so I can paint along with you at home?
This is a set of 6 colours (you only need 5 of them) but it’s cheaper than buying the colours individually. You can buy them: Here
What brushes should I buy to follow along at home?
Let’s keep it simple! You will only ever need three brushes to paint with me:
◼️Flat top brush
⚫️Round top brush
〰️Super skinny brush
Buy your brushes here. This is a pack of 7 brushes, you only need three of them. It’s more expensive to buy these individually, so the spare brushes are a bonus! You only need the 3/4 inch flat top, and the number 3 & 8, you will see the numbers on the handles.
With thanks to
