Catch the first light of day!
In this painting session, we’re greeting the dawn. Against a glowing horizon, you’ll paint fields of red flowers shimmering with morning dew, grasses touched by cool colours, and the rising sun just peeking through. With soft strokes and fresh tones, you’ll capture that fleeting moment when night turns into day.
Along the way, you’ll learn how to build soft, seamless colour gradients for a morning sky, and how to control transitions so they feel natural and atmospheric rather than harsh. We’ll also explore how to break down strong tube colours and refine them into muted, misty tones that match the softness of dawn light.
A special focus will be on creating textural floral elements using a professional tool: the palette knife – learning how to layer, shape, and add expressive texture to your foreground. You’ll also get an introduction to colour harmony and atmospheric colour mixing, helping you better understand how light, mood, and colour temperature work together in a landscape.

Crash. Curl. Colour. A wave comes alive on canvas.
In this semi-guided textured session, you’ll ride the swell — a giant wave rising from the sea, ready to tumble and curl. Using modelling paste and paint, you’ll build layers of frothy foam, dynamic water movement, and the energy of the ocean captured in bold, sculpted strokes. Think drama, texture, and a playful sense of motion in every crest and curl.
No experience needed — just a love for texture, colour, and a bit of creative adventure. You’ll leave with a tactile, vibrant seascape that’s bursting with energy, movement, and watery wonder.

A wild abstract painting session full of colour, chaos, and satisfying texture.
Who needs brushes when you’ve got a spatula, a mountain of modelling paste, and a whole mood to express?
In this bold, all-in painting session, you’ll layer, swipe, and sculpt your way into pure colour play — no plan, no pressure, just bold marks and thick textures that practically stand off the canvas.
We’ll work point by point, swipe by swipe, building up vibrant patterns and punchy colour fields that shift as you move. It’s a little pointillist, a little sculptural, and totally freeing.
Expect music, mess, and moments of accidental brilliance. This one’s for anyone who’s ever wanted to stop thinking and just create.
More colour. More texture. More joy.
Bring the energy — we’ve got the paste.
✨ How PIE Semi-Guided Workshops Run
Ready for a painting session that gives you just the right mix of direction and freedom?
At our semi-guided workshops, you get a clear theme and technique to start with – think of them as your creative launchpad. From there, it’s all about what you do with it.
Our artist guides are there to show you the essentials, share tips, and keep you inspired… but the real magic happens when you dive into your own creative waters ;) Follow the guidance closely or take a playful detour – both paths are perfect.
It’s the ideal balance of support and self-expression: enough structure to feel confident, enough freedom to surprise yourself. A little deeper, a little more intentional, and always a lot of fun.

She’s floating. She’s glowing. She’s not thinking about emails.
A sunset painting session where calm meets colour and a surfer silhouette steals the scene.

Ready to escape into a landscape of quiet power?
In this session, you’ll create a stunning mountain scene in rich earth tones, where rugged textures meet snowy peaks and every layer tells part of the story.
We’ll move through warm, natural hues, blending and building colours that feel grounded and alive. You`ll be mixing your own version of earth shades and explore thick, tactile layers with modelling paste to shape the landscape, then bring it all together by carving in those striking snowy peaks with our favourite tool — the palette knife.
This is all about texture, contrast, and that satisfying moment when your painting starts to feel like something you could step right into. Let your strokes be bold, your layers imperfect, and your mountains rise in their own way.

- Workshop

- PIE Action Painting Studio Zürich
- 2,5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total freedom.
The perfect stress release after a tense week.
In this action painting session, you’ll suit up in full-body protective overalls, grab your colours, and step into a space designed for making a glorious mess. Channel your inner Pollock as you throw, pour, drip, and smear paint with energy and spontaneity.
But this experience can be as wild — or as introspective — as you want it to be.
Beyond the action, this workshop also opens the door to intuitive painting: a space to slow down, tune in, and connect with your inner landscape. Through a short but meaningful introduction to colour theory, you’ll explore how thoughts and emotions can be translated into colour, movement, and form.
You’ll experiment with layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques — from bold, expressive gestures to more subtle, intentional strokes. Throwing paint is just one of many possibilities — you choose where to place your focus.
No rules, no pressure — just pure expression, guided by our artists who support your individual approach and meet you where you are.
This is more than fun — it’s liberating. You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with new ways to express yourself, release tension, and tap into your creativity — on and off the canvas.
✨ How PIE Action Painting Workshops Run
Treat yourself to a liberating action painting session where you can unwind, let go, sip & snack, and explore your creativity in a whole new way. Come with your friends — or make new ones — as you dive into a feel-good workshop that can be as energetic or as introspective as you like, guided by our lovely local artists.
Step into a space designed for freedom of expression — whether that means bold, dynamic action or a more intuitive, inward approach. Most of our workshops take place in our beautiful, cozy studios — full of colour, good vibes, and a warm, creative atmosphere.
No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything*:
- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
- Full-body overalls and shoe protection
- A mix of demonstration & individual guidance
* We provide protective overalls, but we highly recommend not wearing your favourite or most expensive clothes, as paint may still seep through. Please also bring a pair of socks that you don’t mind getting paint on or wet.

✨ How PIE Action Painting Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink — and instead of sitting down, you step into it. You’ll get your protective overalls, switch into painting mode, and get ready to let go a little. We start on time, so make sure you’re there and ready to dive in.
Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials and tools — showing you what’s possible, how to move, splash, layer, and play. Nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to experiment.
Then the fun really begins. You’ll explore layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques. The space is yours to explore: move between the splashing area, where you can let loose, and the refining area, where you can slow things down and shape your piece. Throughout the session, your instructor is there to guide you with personal tips and support.
At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — with your finished piece and great vibes.
No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything*:
- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
- Full-body overalls and shoe protection
- A mix of demonstration & individual guidance
* We provide protective overalls, but we highly recommend not wearing your favourite or most expensive clothes, as paint may still seep through. Please also bring a pair of socks that you don’t mind getting paint on or wet.
All you need to bring is your good vibes and curiosity! We’ll take care of the rest — starting with a complimentary welcome drink 🥂 to spark your creativity.

Dripping is an action painting technique in which paint is dripped or poured directly onto the canvas from a brush, stick or other source. It was made particularly famous by Jackson Pollock. Dripping creates dynamic, random patterns and allows your creativity to flow freely.
Jackson Pollock made this style world-famous, and the art critic Harold Rosenberg coined the term "Action Painting" in 1952.
