Paint away your pressures, simply focus your mind on embracing messiness, and let art express the things you can’t articulate.

Workshop
Sunday, 30th June,
14:30 - 17:30
Amidst this nostalgic setting, the focal point is the Paloma cocktail—a refreshing blend of tequila, grapefruit soda, lime, and a hint of sweetness—served in an elegant glass. The dark backdrop accentuates the vibrant colors of the drink, highlighting its allure and sophistication amidst the atmospheric surroundings. Through skillful brushwork and lighting, the artist captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the nostalgia and glamour of 1960s New York nightlife.

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.
