Painting Studio Basel – For the Bold, the Calm & the Curious

Drift, glow, and dive deep.
A majestic whale gliding through quiet waters, as golden rays of sunlight reach down from above — connecting two worlds in one soft, luminous moment.

In this watercolour session, we’ll explore the magic of transparency and light, using gentle washes and flowing layers to bring this underwater scene to life. Think soft gradients, diffused light, and that weightless feeling where everything moves slowly and effortlessly.
Watercolour is the perfect medium for this piece — fluid, atmospheric, and just a little bit dreamy.

Brushes out, vibes on — we’re heading to Monet’s garden.
In this vibrant acrylic session, we’ll dive headfirst into the iconic world of Claude Monet’s graden in Giverny — minus the stuffy museum voice. Think soft green shades, bold colour, dreamy reflections and the kind of loose, expressive brushwork that lets you paint what you feel, not just what you see.

You’ll learn how to blend, dab, layer, and play with light — all while creating your own version of this impressionist masterpiece. Classic or totally reimagined? Your pond, your rules.
Perfect for beginners, flower fans, and anyone who’s ever wanted to say, “Oh that? I painted it. It’s my Monet.”

Galaxies, friendship & a little cosmic charm.
In this dreamy painting session, we bring a classic moment to life:
The Little Prince and his fox — sitting on their tiny planets, staring into the stars, thinking deep (and probably adorable) thoughts.

You’ll recreate this sweet, spacey scene with soft colours, flowing lines, and a big dose of heart. Along the way, you’ll learn how to paint an effortless galaxy and sprinkle stars across your sky — simple techniques that create that magical, glowing universe effect without the stress.

It’s peaceful, a little playful, and perfect for anyone who loves the quiet magic of childhood stories — even as a grown-up.
No experience needed. Just show up and paint something that feels like a warm hug from another planet. ✨🦊

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.

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.

Acrylics, texture, and all the glam.
In this abstract painting session, we’re diving into a colour palette that lives somewhere between blush and bold — think peach, pink, rose, and shimmering gold.

Using sponges, palette knives, and brushes, you’ll layer tones and textures to create a one-of-a-kind abstract piece. Whether you go full glam or soft and minimal, this session is all about movement, elegance, and letting your inner glitter goddess do her thing (minus the actual glitter — we’re classy like that).

Rich colours. Timeless techniques. Paintings that only get more beautiful with time.

There’s a reason the world’s greatest masterpieces were painted in oils. Rich colours, incredibly smooth blending, luminous light effects and the freedom to keep refining your work make oil painting one of the most rewarding artistic mediums to learn.

In this four-week course, you’ll discover everything you need to start painting with confidence. Whether you’ve never touched a tube of oil paint before or would like to build a stronger foundation, we’ll guide you through the essential techniques step by step.

Unlike acrylic paint, oils stay workable for much longer, giving you time to blend colours seamlessly, soften transitions and gradually build beautiful layers. Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to mix colours, understand light and shadow, work with brushes, palette knives and painting mediums, and create paintings with depth, atmosphere and personality.

Every class combines live demonstrations with plenty of hands-on painting time, allowing you to immediately apply what you’ve learned while receiving individual guidance from your instructor. Along the way, you’ll also become familiar with the materials, tools and studio practices that artists have used for centuries.

Sculpt. Shape. Sunbathe. A beach day on canvas.
In this semi-guided textured event, we’re going overhead — your view of the seaside from above. With modelling paste and paint, you’ll learn to shape foamy waves, sandy shores, and scatter tiny umbrellas with sunbathers below. Think playful details, summer vibes, and a splash of humour worked into every stroke.

No experience needed — just a taste for fun, bright colours, and beachy imagination. You’ll leave with a holiday scene that’s tactile, vibrant, and full of summer joy.

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.

In this atmospheric acrylic painting session, we step into the quiet of late October — where a golden forest glows in shades of yellow and amber, slowly dissolving into cool mist.
A winding river cuts through the scene, reflecting soft blues and muted purples, turning warmth into something fleeting, gentle, and almost dreamlike.

This piece is all about mood and contrast. You’ll explore how to balance warm autumn tones with cool, foggy hues — letting them blend, fade, and softly collide on the canvas. We’ll guide you through creating that misty, airy depth, where edges disappear and the landscape feels distant and calm.

At the same time, we’ll play with texture versus softness — combining subtle, blended backgrounds with more expressive, tactile touches in the trees and foreground. You’ll learn how to suggest detail without overworking it, keeping the painting loose, atmospheric, and full of feeling.

Perfect for anyone who loves quiet landscapes, autumn colours, and that slightly melancholic beauty of the changing season. Soft, glowing, and gently fading — like autumn exhaling into winter. 🍂✨

Pour. Flip. Watch the magic happen.
Some painting techniques are carefully planned. Acrylic pouring isn’t one of them; is all about letting the paint do its thing.  It’s unpredictable, a little messy, and incredibly satisfying.

In this guided workshop, you’ll discover two of the most fascinating acrylic pouring techniques: Dutch Pour and Kiss Pour. Instead of painting with brushes, you’ll work with flowing acrylic paints, gravity and movement to create stunning abstract effects that are impossible to achieve any other way.

Your artist will first introduce each technique through a live demonstration before guiding you through the creative process yourself. You’ll learn how to prepare your paints, achieve the right consistency, create beautiful flowing colour transitions and discover how those famous organic “cells” appear naturally on the canvas.

Although everyone learns the same techniques, no two pours will ever look alike. Every movement, every colour combination and every decision creates a completely unique artwork.

During the workshop you’ll create three individual 30 × 30 cm canvases. The first introduces the first pouring technique, the second explores the next one, and for your final artwork you’ll choose your favourite technique and create another unique piece.

Whether you’re completely new to Acrylic Pouring or simply looking for a wonderfully relaxing and satisfying creative experience, this workshop offers the perfect balance between learning, experimentation and colourful surprises.

Bright yellow fruit, glossy green leaves, and the soft play of shadow and light.
A still-life oil painting session with fresh colour, creamy texture, and classic technique.
In this guided session, you’ll learn how to capture the richness of lemons in oil — from the subtle shifts in their golden skin to the highlights that make them glow.

We’ll walk you through composition, layering, and blending so your colours stay vibrant, your textures feel rich, and your shadows bring depth. Every brushstroke builds towards a piece that feels fresh, balanced, and full of life.
It’s focused, calm, and deeply satisfying — a timeless still life with a citrus twist.
