Introduction to Oil Painting

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.

This bird isn’t just perched — it’s posing.
A bold, textured bird portrait with creamy layers, colour, and character. In this vibrant painting session, we’re giving the great tit a full-on glamour moment: thick, sculpted strokes, glossy feathers you can almost touch, and a background in unapologetic pink.

You’ll work with modelling paste and rich acrylics to build a portrait that’s part painting, part sculpture — playing with light, shadow, and feather detail until your bird is brimming with personality.
It’s tactile, it’s joyful, and it’s a little bit fabulous.

Bright mountains, a shimmering lake, and light that feels almost alive.
Step into a radiant alpine world where the air is crystal clear and colours glow with a quiet, powerful intensity. Inspired by the luminous spirit and rhythmic compositions of Ferdinand Hodler, we’ll step into his footsteps and explore how to build a landscape through expressive brushwork and layered painting.

In this session, you’ll learn how to create depth and perspective in a landscape — how distant peaks, water, and sky can unfold through colour, contrast, and structure. We’ll explore how to bring dynamic, energetic detail into the brushwork while still holding the whole composition together as a unified, harmonious scene.

We’ll guide you through shimmering water, luminous layering techniques, and the gentle geometry of alpine peaks. You bring your curiosity and calm focus — and a willingness to enter a landscape that feels slightly brighter, more alive, and more structured than reality itself.

Maybe someone lives here.
Maybe they used to.
Maybe it was you.
It’s the kind of place that doesn’t ask questions. You stop in front of it without meaning to, caught between arriving and remembering. The day is warm, but the thoughts are cooler — the kind that show up when you stand still long enough.

Nothing is certain except the feeling that something happened here. A routine, a return, a moment you didn’t think you’d miss. The house keeps it to itself. You keep the rest.
This painting isn’t about a house — it’s about what stays with us, long after we’ve moved on.

Abstract art. No rules. Endless possibilities.

Forget perfection. Forget painting inside the lines. This workshop is all about discovering how expressive, playful and surprisingly personal abstract painting can be.

Although every participant explores the same techniques and artistic principles, no two paintings will ever look alike. With guidance from your instructor, you’ll discover how abstract artworks are built through composition, colour, layering, texture and movement. Along the way, you’ll explore inspiring examples from contemporary abstract art before gradually developing your own visual language.

Some people create calm, minimalist compositions. Others fill the canvas with bold colours, energetic gestures and expressive textures. That’s the beauty of abstraction—there isn’t one right answer. Every creative decision opens the door to countless new directions.

Whether you prefer to follow the demonstrations closely or experiment beyond them, this workshop offers the perfect balance between learning new techniques and trusting your own artistic instincts.

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.
