What we will be doing
A lush island, a heat-soaked breeze, and colour that feels almost musical.
In this richly expressive oil painting session, we travel to Tenerife — where vibrant landscapes unfold under a late afternoon sun, and nature feels both wild and harmonious. In the foreground, a cluster of lush, tropical greenery anchors the scene, leading the eye into rolling forms of vegetation, volcanic undertones, and distant light.
The painting is driven by saturated greens and deep, atmospheric purples, layered and blended to create a sense of abundance, depth, and movement. At the same time, you’ll aim to capture that contrast only found in island air — the freshness of the ocean wind cutting through the warmth of the sun, softening and sharpening the landscape all at once.
Inspired by the expressive handling and luminous atmosphere of John Singer Sargent, we’ll focus on confident brushwork, fluid transitions, and building form through colour rather than tight detail. You’ll learn how to layer oils to create richness and depth, how to balance cool and warm tones within the same composition, and how to let brushstrokes remain alive and visible.
The result is a landscape that feels both immersive and painterly — a moment suspended between heat, wind, and glowing island light.
✨ How PIE Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink and settle into your spot at the table where the magic will happen. 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 — nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to play.
Then the fun really begins. You’ll be guided step by step through the painting process, with plenty of room to play, experiment, and make it your own. Sip your drink, enjoy the moment, and let the creativity flow.
At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — your finished piece, great vibes.
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.
Oil Painting - Safety Info
In our oil painting workshops we use turpentine, which produces strong vapours and must be handled with care. For this reason, the workshop is recommended for guests aged 15+ and not suitable during pregnancy or for children.
We provide gloves for safe painting, and the studio is well ventilated to ensure a comfortable environment. If you have any concerns, our instructors are happy to help.
🖼️ Canvas Size & Upgrades
Your ticket includes a 30 x 40 cm canvas, which you can upgrade to a larger one (40x50cm) or even a round one (Ø 40 cm) - just choose the option when booking your ticket, or decide spontaneously at the workshop.
💞 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!
