What we will be doing
A field in bloom, high in the mountains in May — where the air is still cool, but already carries the sweet scent of coming summer evenings.
In this watercolour painting session, we’ll capture a vast, flowing meadow filled with flowers and rich, warm green tones stretching across a mountain landscape. It’s a scene full of softness, atmosphere, and quiet movement — where light, mist, and colour gently dissolve into one another.
This is the perfect painting to explore the wet-on-wet technique, learning how to let pigments bleed, blend, and flow naturally on the paper to create that airy, luminous quality unique to watercolour. You’ll discover how to control just enough — and let go just enough — for the landscape to paint itself.
We’ll also focus on how to create the illusion of depth and perspective: how softer edges, cooler tones, and lighter washes can push forms into the distance, while richer greens and more defined brushwork bring the foreground to life. Step by step, you’ll build a sense of space that draws the eye through the field and into the mountains beyond.
✨ How PIE Workshops Run
Treat yourself to a creative, guided painting session where you can unwind, sip & snack, and effortlessly pick up new skills without even realising it. Come with your friends — or make new ones — as you paint and craft your way through a feel-good workshop led by our lovely local artists. Most of our workshops take place in our beautiful, cozy studios — full of color, good vibes, and a warm, artistic atmosphere.
No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:
- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
- Pre-prepared templates
- Step-by-step guidance from our instructors
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.
🖼️ Canvas Size & Upgrades
Your ticket includes a 30 x 40 cm watercolor paper.
💞 Painting in Pairs? Yess, please!
Couples, besties, or family duos — this one’s for you:
You can choose to paint in pairs, where two canvases become one artwork. The theme is split in two, and each of you paints one half that aligns perfectly with the other.
If your`re interested in painting in pairs, just ask our artists on the spot whether your chosen theme is a good fit — they’ll guide you and set you up!
