A bold, textured bird portrait with creamy layers, colour, and character.
This bird isn’t just perched — it’s posing.
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.

Shimmer a little. Smudge a lot. Trust the sparkle.
This semi-guided abstract painting session is all about contrast — bold moves, quiet moments, and the magic of gold leaf. We’ll show you how to use this shimmering material to bring depth, light, and a little drama to your canvas.
Whether you layer it delicately or go full shine-mode, gold leaf adds that extra something to any artwork. And here? There are no mistakes — just golden opportunities (see what we did there?).
You’ll experiment with brushes, textures, and techniques, all while tuning into your own style. Abstract art, after all, is about letting go of rules and letting your instincts lead the way.
So relax, play, and let your inner artist shine — literally.

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 their own quiet power. Inspired by the luminous spirit of Ferdinand Hodler, this painting leads you into a landscape of bold blues, vibrant greens, and a horizon that seems to hum with energy.
Across the lake, small sailing boats drift like silent notes in a calm song. Their white sails catch the glow, guiding your eye deeper into the stillness. The mountains rise behind them in strong, rhythmic shapes — steady, serene, almost sacred.
We’ll guide you through the shimmering water, the glowing colour layers, and the gentle geometry of the peaks. You just bring your calm, your curiosity, and a willingness to step into a scene that feels a little brighter than reality.

Sunset? Set Sail.
Somewhere between day and night, color 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.
You’ll play with texture, light, and a little artistic license as you layer bold brushstrokes and dreamy hues. No experience needed — just bring your love of sunsets, sea breezes, and maybe someone to share the view.
This isn’t your average “paint and sip.” This is sail into the sunset… with a brush in your hand.

Textures of Nature: Thick Jungle
Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Basel
- 2.5 Hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
A calm, layered painting session full of texture, tone, and tropical ease.
This isn’t wild — it’s quietly lush.
In this elegant painting session, you’ll explore the softness of silk-like tropical leaves: overlapping shapes, subtle greens, and textures you can almost feel. Against a white or misty grey background, the leaves take centre stage — layered, delicate, and just a little bit sculptural.
We’ll work with close tones and tonal contrast to build depth and movement — no harsh lines, just slow brushwork and the meditative rhythm of shadow and shape.
It’s the kind of painting that makes you breathe slower. Calm greens, quiet elegance, and a canvas that says more the longer you look at it.
No experience needed — just a love of nature, neutrals, and detail that speaks softly.
✨ How PIE semi-guided events work
Ready for a painting session that gives you just the right mix of direction and freedom?
At our semi-guided events, you get 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.
Our artist guides 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.
