Action Painting
Feel First, Paint Second: A PIE Workshop

- 2,5 hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total freedom.
The perfect stress release after a tense week.
In this action painting session, you’ll suit up in full-body protective overalls, grab your colours, and step into a space designed for making a glorious mess. Channel your inner Pollock as you throw, pour, drip, and smear paint with energy and spontaneity.
But this experience can be as wild — or as introspective — as you want it to be.
Beyond the action, this workshop also opens the door to intuitive painting: a space to slow down, tune in, and connect with your inner landscape. Through a short but meaningful introduction to colour theory, you’ll explore how thoughts and emotions can be translated into colour, movement, and form.
You’ll experiment with layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques — from bold, expressive gestures to more subtle, intentional strokes. Throwing paint is just one of many possibilities — you choose where to place your focus.
No rules, no pressure — just pure expression, guided by our artists who support your individual approach and meet you where you are.
This is more than fun — it’s liberating. You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with new ways to express yourself, release tension, and tap into your creativity — on and off the canvas.
✨ How PIE Action Painting Workshops Run

Come with your friends — or make new ones — as you dive into a feel-good workshop that can be as energetic or as introspective as you like, guided by our lovely local artists.
Step into a space designed for freedom of expression — whether that means bold, dynamic action or a more intuitive, inward approach. Most of our workshops take place in our beautiful, cozy studios — full of colour, good vibes, and a warm, creative atmosphere.

Glide, swirl, and drift into colour.
This one’s for anyone who feels drawn to deep greens, fluid movement, and that calm, almost hypnotic flow. In this guided painting session, you’ll create your own abstract piece inspired by floating in emerald waters — layered, luminous, and full of quiet depth.
You’ll start with loose, flowing layers and intuitive brushstrokes. You`ll work with different tools like brushes, palette knives, and sponges to build up rich emerald tones, soft blends, and subtle textures that feel like movement beneath the surface. Think gentle transitions, watery effects, and colours that melt into each other.
No need to plan or control — just go with the flow, explore, and let the painting unfold in its own rhythm.

Paint Your Pet
Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Classroom Zürich
- 3 Hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
A portrait session for devoted humans and the four-legged icons they adore.
Your pet is already a star — now it’s time to immortalise them in paint.
In this custom, joy-filled session, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind portrait of your beloved animal (real, imagined, or emotionally adopted). Think soulful eyes, majestic fluff, and maybe a tiny crown or a glass of wine in paw — because obviously.
After you book, you’ll send us a few photos of your pet. Our artist will choose the most paint-worthy one and prepare a drawing template for you, so when you show up, the canvas (or plate!) is ready and waiting. Yes — you can also choose to paint your pet onto a ceramic plate. Because what’s better than eating spaghetti off your dog’s face? Nothing.
With step-by-step guidance and space for your weirdest, cutest ideas, this session is part portrait, part love letter, and 100% celebration.
No experience needed — just a good pet photo and a little flair.
Important 🐾
To prepare your personal pet portrait, please send us 3–5 good-quality photos of your pet to:
design@paintiteasy.ch
What we need:
- High resolution (we will print the photos)
- Your pet’s face clearly visible (we only paint the portrait)
- Preferably direct light with clear light and shadow – this makes the painting process much easier for you
- Ideally a closed mouth (no visible teeth or tongue) – also helps keep the painting process simple and relaxed
Deadline:
Please send your photos at least 3 days before the workshop.
If we don’t receive your photos by then, your booking will be automatically moved to the next available workshop date, so we can prepare everything properly.
Thanks a lot – this helps us create the best possible portrait of your pet 💛
Bringing your pet 🐶🐱
Yes, you’re welcome to bring your pet along to the workshop (we love it!).
Just make sure they’re well-behaved, comfortable around people and other animals, not disruptive, and not dangerous – basically the kind of guest we’d happily invite again 💛
✨ 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.

Lean back. Breathe out. Let it sway.
This one’s for slow moods and faraway places — where towering palm trees stretch endlessly into a hazy sky, and soft flamingo-pink clouds drift through a muted grey-blue landscape.
In this oil painting session, we’ll create a scene that feels both calm and exotic — working with subtle, desaturated colours that somehow still feel fresh, warm, and full of life. Think tall, elegant palms in olive greens, gentle contrasts, and a palette that glows quietly rather than loudly.
This is a perfect entry into oil painting — simple, relaxed, and hands-on. You’ll get a feel for the material, explore how colours blend and move, and build your painting step by step without overthinking it.
No pressure, no perfection — just an easy, atmospheric piece that takes you somewhere else. 🌴

Catch the first light of day!
In this painting session, we’re greeting the dawn. Against a glowing horizon, you’ll paint fields of red flowers shimmering with morning dew, grasses touched by cool colours, and the rising sun just peeking through. With soft strokes and fresh tones, you’ll capture that fleeting moment when night turns into day.
Along the way, you’ll learn how to build soft, seamless colour gradients for a morning sky, and how to control transitions so they feel natural and atmospheric rather than harsh. We’ll also explore how to break down strong tube colours and refine them into muted, misty tones that match the softness of dawn light.
A special focus will be on creating textural floral elements using a professional tool: the palette knife – learning how to layer, shape, and add expressive texture to your foreground. You’ll also get an introduction to colour harmony and atmospheric colour mixing, helping you better understand how light, mood, and colour temperature work together in a landscape.

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.

Crash. Curl. Colour. A wave comes alive on canvas.
In this semi-guided textured session, you’ll ride the swell — a giant wave rising from the sea, ready to tumble and curl. Using modelling paste and paint, you’ll build layers of frothy foam, dynamic water movement, and the energy of the ocean captured in bold, sculpted strokes. Think drama, texture, and a playful sense of motion in every crest and curl.
No experience needed — just a love for texture, colour, and a bit of creative adventure. You’ll leave with a tactile, vibrant seascape that’s bursting with energy, movement, and watery wonder.
✨ 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.

Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event
- PIE Event
- Beginner
- PIE Creative Café Zürich
- 2.5 Hours
Up to 20% discount for Members
A wild abstract painting session full of colour, chaos, and satisfying texture.
Who needs brushes when you’ve got a spatula, a mountain of modelling paste, and a whole mood to express?
In this bold, all-in painting session, you’ll layer, swipe, and sculpt your way into pure colour play — no plan, no pressure, just bold marks and thick textures that practically stand off the canvas.
We’ll work point by point, swipe by swipe, building up vibrant patterns and punchy colour fields that shift as you move. It’s a little pointillist, a little sculptural, and totally freeing.
Expect music, mess, and moments of accidental brilliance. This one’s for anyone who’s ever wanted to stop thinking and just create.
More colour. More texture. More joy.
Bring the energy — we’ve got the paste.
✨ How PIE Semi-Guided Workshops Run
Ready for a painting session that gives you just the right mix of direction and freedom?
At our semi-guided workshops, 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.
No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:
- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
