Painting is a great indoor activity you can do with a loved one or by yourself. its a good way to celebrate an anniversary, you can look back on it as something you did that day. "here's my birthday painting" or "We did this on our 6th anniversary". You can work on the same painting, drawing ideas from each other, or do your own. Working together can be helpful if one person is better at backgrounds than details, or even if you need help filling up empty spaces.

if you don't know what kind of paint you want to use, try a set that has more than one kind, such as acrylics and watercolours in the same box.

If you dont know what to paint, try doing some tutorials step by step such as this one on watercolour waves.

Make your paintings special and fun: use a fun technique or paint that stands out to you, such as a touch of neon paint or silver and gold paint. Don't overdo it - or do. it's up to you.

Browse some artists work for ideas on your style of painting. Are you into abstract portraits like Picasso? or colourful animal x-rays like Norval Morisseau? The styles are endless.

A simpler take on a popular style can be helpful if you are new to drawing and painting. Simple paintings are beautiful. If you cant draw details very well, leave them out.

Have a cup of tea or wine while you paint. Eat yummy snacks. Chat about whatever you like. Painting as a social time is a great way to enjoy yourself and time together. This can even be done on a video call.
