Introduction to Oil Painting

A workshop where the chaos is the point

Get ready to tilt, swirl, flip, and pour! In this hands-on 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn two of the most satisfying acrylic pouring techniques: Dutch Pour and Kiss Pour.

We’ll liquefy the paint, then let gravity, colour, and a bit of messy magic do the rest. With every tilt of the canvas, new patterns emerge — swirls, cells, waves, and very cool accidents.

You’ll create 3 unique artworks on 30 × 30 cm canvases, and yes:

It’ll look like you totally meant to do that.

Perfect for beginners, mess-lovers, abstract enthusiasts, and anyone who secretly wants to fling paint around without judgement.


✨ How the Workshop Works
Think of a Paint It Easy event — but with more time, more technique, and more creative depth. Our workshops are all about learning something new and meaningful while still enjoying the relaxed, feel-good PIE vibe.

Each workshop is guided by a professional artist and focuses on a specific creative technique, style, or material. Whether you’re trying it for the first time or want to deepen existing skills, you’ll get personal guidance, hands-on support, and time to really explore the process.

Most workshops take place in our beautiful, cosy studios in Zürich or Basel — full of colour, creativity, and a welcoming atmosphere. From time to time, we also host them at inspiring partner venues or outdoors in the sunny season.

No stress, no pressure — just a great setting to experiment, learn something new, and create something truly yours.

We provide everything you need:

• A warm and friendly learning environment
• All necessary materials and tools
• A mix of demonstration & individual guidance
• Artistic freedom — everyone interprets the technique their own way

Whether you’re a motivated beginner or a curious creative, this is the space to dive deeper, discover new methods, and leave with a skill that sticks.


🥂 A Toast to Creativity*

Trust the chaos — and add gold.

In this relaxed, expressive session, you’ll create your own bold-yet-beautiful abstract piece using rich emerald greens, soft whites, and shimmering gold. With real gold leaf on the table, your artwork will catch the light in all the right ways — no two pieces alike.

There’s no final image to copy, no pressure to get it “right” — just flow, instinct, and colour. Layer shapes, play with contrast, and let your brush do what it wants. Whether you create calm minimalism or a textured explosion, this is all about letting go and glowing up.

Get into the zone. Take your time. And trust the process — it’s called Gilded Instinct for a reason.
