Abstract improvisation
on XXL canvases

Sunday, 15th May
16:00 - 19:00

“Art is a natural way to practice mindfulness. The colors, textures and sounds of creating pull us into the moment. You don’t need any previous training to meditate through art, just a willingness to draw like a child, with freedom and a sense of curiosity.” That is why we are inviting you to bring your freedom, curiosity, and inner-child down to our studio. Paint away your pressures, simply focus your mind on embracing messiness, and let art express the things you can’t articulate.

Jump into the mesmerising world of Mandalas with Marc Wittlin

Fluid Art

with @janinasartventures

Acrylic Pouring is a rather hypnotic and meditative approach to creating abstract art which often leads to stunning results... and even when it doesn't, the process is so satisfying and fun.

By making the acrylic paint liquid, it can be poured onto a canvas in a multitude of ways letting the paint splat, ooze and mix right in front of your eyes creating unimaginable patterns just as you tilt your canvas. It is all in your hands! Suitable for beginners, experts, and all lovers of some mess and chaos, this 3-to-4-hour workshop will look at how different techniques and colour combinations can create abstract art so beautiful, everyone will think you planned it all along.

Candle making

To make the experience even more wholesome, we offer an optional Brunch menu from La Manufacture to enjoy while the wax is cooling down.

What is urban sketching? It's basically drawing on location, capturing and documenting what we see from direct observation, indoors and outdoors. Urban sketchers tell the story of their surroundings, their point of view, the places they live and where they travel. The drawings are a record of a certain point in time and place. This course is created for sketching enthusiasts with no prior experience, that wish to begin their sketching journey.

‘Paint like Klimt: Mother and child‘

Guided Event (Maestro)

Saturday, 23rd September,
14:00 - 17:00

Mother and Child is a painting that focuses on women at different stages in their lives. Painted by Gustav Klimt in 1905, it uses soft shades to portray a young woman with a child resting beside her. This painting is also known as, "Le Tre Eta Della Donna".The mother figure has a slightly dreamy quality, as does the child. This is an element which is often infused into Austrian Symbolist paintings. Klimt's art is appreciated for that style and as a result, viewers may see symbols that they associate with the dream world.

Paint like Vincent: ‘Wheat field with cypresses‘

Guided Event (Maestro)

Saturday, 30th September,
14:00 - 17:00

Although restless beyond measure, with few straight lines, this landscape is one of the most classic in conception among Van Gogh's works. It is build up in great bands that traverse the entire space. The tall dark cypress trees at one side offer a powerful contrast to the prevailing horizontals, which they resemble in form. The oppositions of warm and cool, the proportioning of parts, the relative height of sky and earth on the two sides, the horizontal intervals which we can measure on the silhouette of the distant mountain, twice broken by trees - all these are perfectly legible and well balanced.

‘Paint like Klimt: Mother and child‘

Guided Event (Maestro)

Saturday, 23rd September,
14:00 - 17:00

Mother and Child is a painting that focuses on women at different stages in their lives. Painted by Gustav Klimt in 1905, it uses soft shades to portray a young woman with a child resting beside her. This painting is also known as, "Le Tre Eta Della Donna".The mother figure has a slightly dreamy quality, as does the child. This is an element which is often infused into Austrian Symbolist paintings. Klimt's art is appreciated for that style and as a result, viewers may see symbols that they associate with the dream world.

Paint like Vincent: ‘Wheat field with cypresses‘

Guided Event (Maestro)

Saturday, 30th September,
14:00 - 17:00

Although restless beyond measure, with few straight lines, this landscape is one of the most classic in conception among Van Gogh's works. It is build up in great bands that traverse the entire space. The tall dark cypress trees at one side offer a powerful contrast to the prevailing horizontals, which they resemble in form. The oppositions of warm and cool, the proportioning of parts, the relative height of sky and earth on the two sides, the horizontal intervals which we can measure on the silhouette of the distant mountain, twice broken by trees - all these are perfectly legible and well balanced.

Paint like Munch: ’The Scream’

Guided Event (Maestro)

Saturday, 21st October,
17:00 - 20:00

"The Scream" is a famous painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, created in 1893. It depicts a figure standing on a rocky ledge, holding its head and screaming in anguish. The painting is known for its expressive lines and bright, intense colors, which convey a sense of terror and distress. Munch described the inspiration for the painting as a moment when he felt overwhelmed by the "infinite scream of nature." The painting has become an iconic image of modern art and has been widely reproduced and parodied in popular culture. It is currently housed in the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway.

Intuitive (Action) Painting

Workshop

Sunday, 22nd October,
15:00 - 18:00

Unlike our other workshops, where we focus on certain techniques and steps to reach a particular result, here we are all about the process of creating, and not the end-result. Perhaps you’ll create something beautiful, perhaps you’ll create something beautifully chaotic. Either way, the only goal is to let go of our obsession with goals. Embrace your intuition and let go of your thoughts, all we ask you to bring is yourself.

How do i sign up for an event?

 Select which painting you would like to paint and add it to your cart by clicking “Let’s paint!” Follow the on-screen directions to complete the order. Contact us if you have trouble completing your order and we will walk you through the process.

WHAT IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE Event?

Our courses are basically English speaking. Receiving explanations in German, French, Italian and Hungarian 😀 is also possible. We can also greet you in Greek.

What is the difference between a 'maestro' and a 'Classic' guided painting event?

On a ‘Maestro’ event we are recreating a somewhat popular masterpiece of art history. These pictures are carefully selected and have been broken down to manageable steps even for complete beginners. It is truly fascinating to understand what has made these pieces of art so acclaimed, by imitating their famous brushstrokes. Due to the complexity of these pictures ‘Maestro’ events last for approx. 3 hours.

What is a 'promo' event?

Every now and then, we offer our classic events at an exceptionally economic price, 35 CHF!  The maximum number of participants is 24, and you will be painting at our cool, long studio tables. This kind of promotional event is in favor of those, who feel like tasting a piece of PIE before going for the whole, and this is totally fine with us.

What is a workshop?

We are putting a great effort to distinguish ‘Events’, ‘Workshops’ and ‘Courses’ since they are indeed different here at Paint It Easy. Events want to be a creative, refreshing and entertaining going-out alternative, while Workshops are designed to teach something or develop a specific skill while still remaining a fun activity. Held by local guest artists!

What is a Course?

Weekly, in-depth visual art explorations during 4 to 12 weeks. During the two-hour-long painting classes you will learn to handle mediums, materials and surfaces, and to realize figurative or abstract images on beginners’ level.
