Painting for adults

Sunset? Set Sail.
Somewhere between day and night, colour and calm, there’s a moment where everything just glows. That’s what we’re capturing in this impressionist-inspired painting session — a sailboat drifting into golden hour, two figures silhouetted against a sky that forgot how to be subtle.

But this time, it’s all about how we paint it. Inspired by impressionist techniques, you’ll work with hundreds — even thousands — of small, expressive brushstrokes that come together to form a rich, vibrant whole. Up close, it’s texture, rhythm, and movement; from a distance, it all blends into a luminous, atmospheric scene.

We’ll guide you in building layers, balancing warm and cool tones, and composing a scene that feels both complex and harmonious. It’s a process of patience and intuition — letting each small mark play its role in something much bigger.
No heavy blending, no overworking — just colour, light, and the quiet magic of many small strokes coming together into one glowing, unforgettable piece.

Every great artist starts by learning to see.

Drawing is much more than putting pencil to paper. It’s the foundation of almost every visual art form—the skill that teaches you to observe, understand and interpret the world around you.

In this six-week foundation course, you’ll develop the most important artistic ability of all: seeing like an artist. Together we’ll explore observation, proportion, perspective, light, shadow, composition and form while learning how to transform the three-dimensional world around us into convincing drawings.

Every week introduces new concepts through demonstrations, structured exercises and practical projects that gradually build your confidence. Rather than simply learning how to copy what you see, you’ll discover why objects look the way they do—and how artists simplify, analyse and reconstruct them on paper.

Drawing is often described as the language of visual art. Whether you dream of becoming a painter, illustrator, designer, sculptor or simply want to draw with confidence, the skills you develop here will support everything you create afterwards.

If you’ve ever thought “I can’t draw,” this course is here to change your mind. With the right guidance and plenty of practice, you’ll soon discover that drawing isn’t a talent reserved for a few—it’s a skill that anyone can learn.

🤔 Is This Course Right for Me?

Absolutely.
Whether you’ve never held a pencil with artistic intention before or you’d like to build a stronger creative foundation before exploring painting, illustration or other artistic disciplines, this course is the ideal place to begin.

The skills you’ll develop here won’t just improve your drawings—they’ll change the way you observe the world and support every creative step that follows.

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.

Ready to escape into a landscape of quiet power?
In this session, you’ll create a stunning mountain scene in rich earth tones, where rugged textures meet snowy peaks and every layer tells part of the story.

We’ll move through warm, natural hues, blending and building colours that feel grounded and alive. You`ll be mixing your own version of earth shades and explore thick, tactile layers with modelling paste to shape the landscape, then bring it all together by carving in those striking snowy peaks with our favourite tool — the palette knife.

This is all about texture, contrast, and that satisfying moment when your painting starts to feel like something you could step right into. Let your strokes be bold, your layers imperfect, and your mountains rise in their own way.


✨ How PIE Semi-Guided 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 — a clear theme and technique to start with – think of them as your creative launchpad. From there, it’s all about what you do with it.

Then the fun really begins. Our instructors are there to show you the essentials, share tips, and keep you inspired… but the real magic happens when you dive into your own creative waters ;) Follow the guidance closely or take a playful detour – both paths are perfect.
It’s the ideal balance of support and self-expression: enough structure to feel confident, enough freedom to surprise yourself. A little deeper, a little more intentional, and always a lot of fun.

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.

Float, release, imagine.
In this acrylic session, you’ll paint Banksy’s iconic little girl — this time letting go of a cluster of drifting balloons — set against a bold, abstract background full of colour, texture, and playful motion. You’ll learn how to build dynamic layers with brushes and palette knives, blending shapes and strokes to create a vibrant atmosphere that makes the figure and balloons feel weightless.

No experience needed — just drop in, follow the guided steps, and enjoy painting something expressive, modern, and full of lift.

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.

Floral chaos. Creamy colours. Big still life energy.
Ever wanted to paint something that looks fancy but feels like fun? This is that.
In this oil painting session, you’ll create your own still life starring peaches, petals, and painterly vibes — no pressure, no pretentiousness, just pure colour joy.

We’ll guide you through mixing lush tones, building those soft shapes, and playing with texture like you totally know what you’re doing (even if you don’t yet — we got you).

Perfect for total newbies, colour nerds, flower fans, and anyone who just needs a bit of peachy escapism.

Light. Flowing. Wonderfully unpredictable.

Watercolour has a magic unlike any other painting medium. Transparent colours, delicate layers and the gentle movement of water create paintings full of light, atmosphere and spontaneity. Rather than fighting the medium, you’ll learn how to work with it—and discover that some of the most beautiful effects happen when you allow the water to do part of the painting for you.

In this four-week course, you’ll build a solid foundation in watercolour painting while learning to balance control with creative freedom. Whether you’re completely new to the medium or looking to deepen your painting skills, we’ll guide you through the essential techniques step by step.

Throughout the course, you’ll explore washes, layering, glazing, blending and lifting techniques while learning how pigment, water and paper interact. With every exercise, you’ll gain more confidence in controlling the flow of colour while embracing the happy accidents that make watercolour so unique.

Every class combines demonstrations, practical exercises and plenty of individual painting time, allowing you to immediately apply what you’ve learned while receiving personal guidance from your instructor.

Watercolour rewards patience, observation and experimentation. Some artists create delicate botanical studies, others loose landscapes or expressive abstract compositions. This course gives you the technical foundation to confidently explore whichever direction inspires you most.

No previous watercolour experience is required. All you need is curiosity, patience and a willingness to let the paint surprise you.

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.

One bike. One basket. Unlimited flower power.
Hop on and paint your way into a summer daydream! In this guided acrylic session, you’ll bring a vintage bicycle to life — complete with a classic wicker basket bursting with blooms. Think wildflowers, soft pastels, and a sky that feels like Sunday morning.

Muted bike frame? Check. Lush, over-the-top floral explosion? Double check. It’s the kind of scene that makes you want to take the long way home — slowly.

Whether you’re in it for the floral fun, the retro vibes, or just a few hours of chill painting joy, this one’s all about slowing down and soaking it up.
No pedals required. Just paint, relax, and enjoy the ride. 🌼🚲✨

Splash. Laugh. Glow.

Some kids love colouring inside the lines.
Others were born to throw paint.

Pollock in Pyjamas is our energetic Saturday Action Painting experience for children aged 6–12 who love to move, experiment and create without limits. Inspired by the freedom of Action Painting, every session encourages young artists to discover colours, movement and their own imagination in a playful, pressure-free environment.

After a short creative introduction, our artist demonstrates exciting Action Painting techniques and shows how different tools can create completely different effects. Then it’s time to let loose. Children splash, drip, flick, roll and layer paint while discovering that every mark on the canvas becomes the starting point for the next creative idea.

There are no predefined motifs and no right or wrong answers—only curiosity, experimentation and colourful surprises.

Towards the end of the workshop, we switch off the lights and turn on the UV lights. Suddenly fluorescent paints begin to glow, colours transform, and the studio becomes an entirely new creative playground. Children can continue painting under blacklight or simply enjoy watching their artwork come to life in a completely different way.

Each participant creates their own artwork on a 30 × 40 cm canvas, with the option to upgrade to a larger canvas during booking.

Parents are welcome to join the experience and paint alongside their children—or simply relax in our lounge while the little artists enjoy their creative adventure.

Every session is different. Every painting is unique. Every child leaves with colourful memories—and usually a very big smile.
