Acrylic painting course with fun factor

Sun-dappled stillness, bold brushstrokes, and just a touch of tender mood.
This one’s for the dreamers. In this tranquil painting session, you’ll capture a peaceful pond scene, framed by the cascading branches of a gentle weeping willow — all bathed in lime green, soft yellow, and warm sunlight.

Using expressive, impressionist-inspired strokes, you’ll layer colour and movement to build a painting that feels soft, nostalgic, and alive — without obsessing over tiny details.

This piece is a breath of fresh air. It’s a little wistful, a little sunny, and totally relaxing to create. Just you, your brush, and a moment of peace under the trees.

Brushes out, vibes on — we’re heading to Monet’s garden.
In this vibrant acrylic session, we’ll dive headfirst into the iconic world of Claude Monet’s graden in Giverny — minus the stuffy museum voice. Think soft green shades, bold colour, dreamy reflections and the kind of loose, expressive brushwork that lets you paint what you feel, not just what you see.

You’ll learn how to blend, dab, layer, and play with light — all while creating your own version of this impressionist masterpiece. Classic or totally reimagined? Your pond, your rules.
Perfect for beginners, flower fans, and anyone who’s ever wanted to say, “Oh that? I painted it. It’s my Monet.”

Your painting journey starts here.

This six-week foundation course is designed to give you something far more valuable than simply learning how to use acrylic paint. It teaches you the universal principles of painting—the skills and artistic thinking that form the foundation of almost every painting technique, style and medium you’ll encounter in the future.

Using acrylics as our starting point, you’ll discover how paintings are built from the ground up. Together we’ll explore colour theory, composition, brushwork, values, light and shadow, perspective, texture and layering while gradually developing the confidence to approach any blank canvas with purpose.

Throughout the course, every new concept is introduced through demonstrations, practical exercises and individual projects. Rather than simply copying paintings, you’ll learn why artistic decisions work and how to apply those principles to your own creative ideas.

Because acrylics dry quickly, are incredibly versatile and wonderfully forgiving, they’re the perfect medium for learning the fundamentals of painting. Once you understand these principles, you’ll find it much easier to explore oils, watercolours, gouache or almost any other painting medium in the future.

Whether you’re holding a brush for the very first time or looking to replace guesswork with genuine understanding, this course gives you the knowledge, confidence and creative foundation to continue growing as an artist long after the six weeks are over.

Galaxies, friendship & a little cosmic charm.
In this dreamy painting session, we bring a classic moment to life:
The Little Prince and his fox — sitting on their tiny planets, staring into the stars, thinking deep (and probably adorable) thoughts.

You’ll recreate this sweet, spacey scene with soft colours, flowing lines, and a big dose of heart. Along the way, you’ll learn how to paint an effortless galaxy and sprinkle stars across your sky — simple techniques that create that magical, glowing universe effect without the stress.

It’s peaceful, a little playful, and perfect for anyone who loves the quiet magic of childhood stories — even as a grown-up.
No experience needed. Just show up and paint something that feels like a warm hug from another planet. ✨🦊

Ever wanted to paint something that feels playful, bold, and just a little bit unexpected? This is your moment.

In this expressive acrylic session, you’ll create two delicate dandelions set against a dreamy, saturated background of glowing pinks and blues. Light, airy, and full of movement, this piece captures that fleeting moment right before a wish takes flight — yes, you can even blow on it ;)

It’s all about contrast: soft meets bold, tiny details meet sweeping gestures. We’ll show you how to push colour to its limits to create that luminous glow, and how to handle the tiniest elements using surprisingly big, confident brushstrokes. The result? A painting that feels loose, expressive, and full of life.

No need to overthink it — this session is about trusting your instincts, embracing bold choices, and letting the magic happen on the canvas.

The sea was already awake, moving slowly.
This is a place you return to in memory — solid, calm, built layer by layer. A reminder that not everything needs to be light or perfect to be beautiful. Some things are meant to be felt, not thinned down.

In this textured painting session, we’ll work with modelling paste to create depth, structure, and a truly tactile landscape. You’ll learn how to effortlessly blend colour into the paste itself and apply it in different ways across the canvas, building surfaces that feel almost sculptural.

We’ll explore how to mix beautiful muted yet vibrant tones inspired by a Northern European landscape — atmospheric, cool, and quietly luminous rather than Mediterranean brightness. You’ll discover how subtle colour shifts and layered texture can create mood, distance, and emotional depth, turning the surface into something you can almost step into.

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Then… Glow.
Looking for a creative experience that’s energetic, expressive and unlike anything you’ve tried before?

Our Neon Action Painting Workshop combines the freedom and excitement of Action Painting with the spectacular world of fluorescent colours and UV light, creating abstract artworks that transform before your eyes.

After a short introduction, your instructor will guide the group through a series of Action Painting techniques while explaining the artistic principles behind strong abstract compositions. You’ll explore layering, movement, colour relationships, texture and composition as your painting gradually develops over approximately two hours. Rather than following a predefined design, every splash, brushstroke and creative decision becomes the inspiration for the next, allowing your artwork to evolve naturally from one moment to another.

Action Painting is an intuitive creative journey. Every mark on the canvas invites a new response, creating a continuous process of experimenting, observing and building upon what has already emerged. Throughout the workshop, you’ll work with a wide variety of paints, bottles, brushes, palette knives, rollers and other creative tools while your instructor demonstrates techniques, shares artistic insights and offers individual guidance whenever you need it.

And then the magic begins.

As the studio lights fade and the UV lights come to life, your painting reveals an entirely new personality. Fluorescent colours begin to glow, hidden details suddenly appear, and layers you barely noticed under daylight transform into vibrant, luminous compositions. What felt exciting before suddenly becomes immersive.

No two paintings will ever look alike. While everyone explores the same techniques together, each participant follows their own creative path, discovering a unique balance between spontaneity, intuition and artistic intention.

Whether you’re looking to switch off after a busy week, celebrate with friends or simply experience painting in a completely different way, the Neon Action Painting Workshop combines creative freedom, artistic guidance and an unforgettable visual spectacle unlike any other workshop.

You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind artwork that tells two stories—one in daylight, and another that only comes alive under UV light.

One glow, all the mystery, maximum vibes.
Ready to get lost in warmth and light?
In this abstract painting session, we’re blending dusky pinks, creamy beige, and shimmering gold — building layers of depth, glow, and quiet drama without painting anything specific.

It’s all about mood on canvas. You’ll create soft fades, luminous highlights, and rich textures with various painting tools like brush, palette knife and sponge. No rules, no right or wrong — just a chance to sink into colour and let it move the way it wants.
Whether you see sunset, silk, or something entirely your own, this one’s about feeling, flow, and that golden moment you never want to end.

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total Freedom.
Looking for a creative experience that’s energetic, expressive and completely different from traditional painting?

Our Action Painting Workshop combines the excitement of throwing, dripping and splashing paint with the artistic principles behind creating a powerful abstract artwork.

After a short introduction, your instructor will guide the group through a series of Action Painting techniques while explaining how abstract paintings are built through composition, layering, colour relationships and texture. Rather than recreating a predefined motif, you’ll gradually develop your own artwork over approximately two hours, allowing every splash, brushstroke and creative decision to influence what comes next.

Action Painting is an intuitive journey. Every mark on the canvas becomes the starting point for the next, creating a continuous process of acting, observing and reacting. Along the way, you’ll experiment with a wide variety of paints, tools and creative techniques while your instructor shares demonstrations, artistic guidance and individual feedback whenever you need it.

No two paintings will ever look alike. While everyone explores the same techniques together, each participant follows their own creative path, discovering their own balance between spontaneity and intention.

Whether you’re looking to switch off after a busy week, reconnect with your creativity or simply experience painting in a completely different way, Action Painting offers the freedom to experiment while giving you the artistic guidance to turn expressive marks into a finished abstract composition.

You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with a deeper understanding of how abstract paintings evolve—and the confidence to trust your own creative instincts.

Acrylics, texture, and all the glam.
In this abstract painting session, we’re diving into a colour palette that lives somewhere between blush and bold — think peach, pink, rose, and shimmering gold.

Using sponges, palette knives, and brushes, you’ll layer tones and textures to create a one-of-a-kind abstract piece. Whether you go full glam or soft and minimal, this session is all about movement, elegance, and letting your inner glitter goddess do her thing (minus the actual glitter — we’re classy like that).

Aurora, but make it neon.

A classic northern landscape — dark mountains, quiet water, and a sky waiting to explode with colour. Then we turn the lights up. In this bold, playful painting session, we’ll transform a traditional aurora landscape with neon paints, electric colour, and expressive abstract gestures.

You’ll start with the foundations of a classic landscape, learning how to create depth, atmosphere, and a sense of space. Then comes the fun part: layering luminous neon colours over the scene with bold, flowing brushstrokes that twist, sweep, and dance across the sky.

We’ll explore how abstract marks can work on top of a realistic landscape — adding movement, energy, and personality without losing the sense of place underneath. You’ll play with colour contrast, layering, transparency, and expressive brushwork to make the aurora feel almost alive.

There’s no need to make every stroke perfect. In fact, the opposite. This one is about letting go, making big gestures, and seeing what happens when a little chaos meets a well-built landscape.

Classic underneath. Psychedelic on top.

A little bit northern lights, a little bit neon dream. 🌌✨

Sculpt. Shape. Sunbathe. A beach day on canvas.
In this semi-guided textured event, we’re going overhead — your view of the seaside from above. With modelling paste and paint, you’ll learn to shape foamy waves, sandy shores, and scatter tiny umbrellas with sunbathers below. Think playful details, summer vibes, and a splash of humour worked into every stroke.

No experience needed — just a taste for fun, bright colours, and beachy imagination. You’ll leave with a holiday scene that’s tactile, vibrant, and full of summer joy.
