Paint It cLouder

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.

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.

Soft petals, bold texture, and paint you can almost feel.
Step into the tactile world of textured acrylic painting, where a floral bouquet becomes something you build, shape, and sculpt. Using acrylic paint and modelling paste, we’ll focus on creating rich, dimensional forms that lift off the canvas.

You’ll learn how to mix the paste to the right consistency — smooth, workable, and easy to control — and how to apply it in layers to create depth and structure. We’ll explore how to form petals, add movement, and bring dynamic texture into your brushwork while keeping the composition balanced.
No flat surfaces — just texture, rhythm, and a painting that feels as alive as it looks.

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.

Run, reach, repeat.
In this acrylic session, you’ll paint the little girl from the famous Banksy artwork — this time chasing a heart-shaped balloon — set against a classical Swiss mountain landscape with a contemporary twist. You’ll learn how to create those crisp snow caps on the mountains using a palette knife, while adding your own colour and energy to the hills and sky.

No experience needed — just roll up, follow the guided steps, and enjoy painting something playful, bold, and full of movement.
