Your Art-explorations
Paint It Easy Courses are designed for a wide range of art enthusiasts from complete beginners to the more experienced hobbyists.
We have created 3 coherent course types, 3 essential stages to pave your way from your very first steps in visual arts to your future self, who enjoys and is capable to express her/himself artistically. The three steps are:
Learn - If you consider yourself a complete beginner we recommend you to start out with a low treshold beginner course.
These teach you the fundamentals of the given subject.
Practice
- Our study group is an ideal platform to deepen your experience and push your skills further by practicing what you’ve learned at a beginner or thematic course (or anywhere else).
Expand
- Thematic courses are designed to teach specific topics through a clearly identifiable theme. Intended to build upon and expand already existing knowledge. However, some might not require prior experience.

The study group is intended to give an opportunity to solidify and push further your painting and drawing skills by a simple magic called regular practice. Therefore twice a week we set up exciting still life compositions and figure drawing poses for you to draw and paint. Like in a classical study group, a teacher is always present and walks through the class to give his/her assistance according to each student’s level and interest. The study group costs less and provide more freedom of expression since the long term goal is to support you to develop your own artistic voice.

Oil Painting - Vibrant Landscapes w/ Paolo Fratello
Thematic Course (4 weeks)
Monday, 20th September, Monday, 11th October,
18:30 - 21:30
Discover the path that leads you from a blank canvas to breathtaking fields. Italian artist Paolo Fratello takes you to this art-venture and teaches you the basics of oil painting. He guides you through the process of realising two stunning landscapes painted with the classical approach called glazing. We call it glazing, when a thin layer of paint is applied on top of your underpainting, resulting in rich, iridescent colours - an ideal way to create truly vibrant landscapes.

Intruduction to Drawing
Basic Course
Thursday, 21st October, Thursday, 25th November,
19:00 - 21:00
Drawing has less to do with skillful hands and more with how one sees the world. This course aims to teach you a different way to see the world. Drawing is a basis for everything. This is especially true for painting, where besides the physical mixing of colour and the tactile of the paint, everything else is drawn. The aim of this course is to teach you the fundamentals, which create a solid basis that can be further developed to any directions.

“ The bridge between knowledge and skill is practice.”
The study group is intended to give an opportunity to solidify and push further your painting and drawing skills by a simple magic called regular practice. Therefore twice a week we set up exciting still life compositions and figure drawing poses for you to draw and paint. Like in a classical study group, a teacher is always present and walks through the class to give his/her assistance according to each student’s level and interest. The study group costs less and provide more freedom of expression since the long term goal is to support you to develop your own artistic voice.

BUY THE PIE PASS
PIE Pass
For flexible art lessons
We dreamed of an art study group, which was open enough to be joined at any point and flexible enough to fit in the calendar of many without making a lot of sacrifices. Sooo here it comes—> THE PIE PASS
How it works: The pass contains 10 tickets which are valid for 3 months after the first ticket is used to take part in a class.
Once you have purchased the pass, right after the first class, you will receive a stamp collector card with the expiry date on it. At the end of every class you will get a stamp onto the card. Once all the 10 tickets are used up and you wish to continue visiting the classes, you can easily purchase another Pass and the same cycle repeats itself. What is important, that all the tickets have to be used up within the validity period.
With the help of this system, you will not loose the price of the few lessons, which you would be unable to attend in the 3-months-period of time.
