“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” The painting can be painted on a round 40cm x 40 cm canvas.

One of the most significant artists of the 20th century and an outstanding figure in modern American art. She is best known for her paintings of flowers and desert landscapes. She played an important part in the development of modern art in America, becoming the first female painter to gain respect in New York's art world in the 1920s. Her unique and new way of painting nature, simplifying its shapes and forms meant that she was called a pioneer.

Our Outdoor "Special Painting Event" is extraordinary in many ways: Experiment with oil paint, create a landscape painting under the lush green trees by the river, help yourself to a glass of prosecco from the ice-buckets.

Castelluccio di Norcia is more than a simple little Umbrian town. Castelluccio is an emotion, a magic place where men and nature blend themselves and find their harmony. Every year, during many weeks between May and July, an incredible mosaic of colours breaks the chromatic monotony of the grazing lands and it is able to fill eyes and heart.

Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer’s most famous painting. It is not a portrait, but a ‘tronie’ – a painting of an imaginary figure. Tronies depict a certain type or character; in this case a girl in exotic dress, wearing an oriental turban and an improbably large pearl in her ear.

An extraordinary painting experience in the studio accompanied by the finest Sunday Brunch by La Manufacture and fresh coffee. Let‘s celebrate carefree Sunday mornings with abstract floral / landscape paintings, crispy croissants and the voice of Norah Jones.

The colorful macarons are aligned on this fun to paint 30cm x 60 cm canvas!

Easy to paint, fun to customize, and looks great hung next to each other. Both horizontally and vertically. Join us for a painting party filled with fun and buttercream!

The Goldfish immediately attract our attention due to their color. The bright orange strongly contrasts with the more subtle pinks and greens that surround the fish bowl and the blue-green background. Blue and orange, as well as green and red, are complementary colors and, when placed next to one another, appear even brighter. This technique was used extensively by the Fauves, and is particularly striking in Matisse's earlier canvas Le Bonheur de vivre. Although he subsequently softened his palette, the bold orange is reminiscent of Matisse's fauvist years, which continued to influence his use of color throughout his career.

Come and play around with the palette knife, your fingers and brushes - of course - to create this immersive soul balm for autumn chills.

We will guide you step-by-step to realise a beginner friendly acrylic portrait of your pet. How? After booking this event, you will be asked to send up to 5 photos of your pet (or any animal you’d like to paint) via e-mail. Your artist instructor will choose one with the best composition for your painting and she’ll also prepare a drawing template what you’ll transfer onto the canvas with carbon paper. After just 3 hours you can walk off delightedly with a self-made portrait of your animal friend.

Notice the brush strokes. For the sky they swirl, each dab of color rolling with the clouds around the stars and moon. On the cypress tree they bend with the curve of the branches. The whole effect is ethereal and dreamlike. The hills easily roll down into the little village below. In contrast, the town is straight up and down, done with rigid lines that interrupt the flow of the brush strokes. Tiny little trees soften the inflexibility of the town. Bringing nature into the unnaturalness of buildings.
