āPaint like Klimt: Mother and childā
Guided Event (Maestro)
Saturday, 21st May,
17:00 - 20:00
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.

āFruit of the Angelsā
Guided Event
Friday, 10th June,
19:00 - 21:00
Christopher Columbus apparently translated the papayaās Carib name āababiā as āfruit of the angelsā. Also known as the pawpaw, the papaya is a small, fast-growing tropical tree. It probably originated in Central America, where wild populations of the plant still occur. We have chosen this impulsive picture to evoke tropical vibes while painting it as well as when just looking at it hanging on your wall in the kitchen. The background colour is customisable and the Jackson Pollock - style splashing is optional. Letās just get down to the tropics for a couple of hours, shall we?!

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.

āFruit of the Angelsā
Guided Event
Friday, 10th June,
19:00 - 21:00
Christopher Columbus apparently translated the papayaās Carib name āababiā as āfruit of the angelsā. Also known as the pawpaw, the papaya is a small, fast-growing tropical tree. It probably originated in Central America, where wild populations of the plant still occur. We have chosen this impulsive picture to evoke tropical vibes while painting it as well as when just looking at it hanging on your wall in the kitchen. The background colour is customisable and the Jackson Pollock - style splashing is optional. Letās just get down to the tropics for a couple of hours, shall we?!

āPaint like Vincent: Starry nightā
Guided Event (Maestro)
Saturday, 2nd July,
18:00 - 21:00
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.

How do i sign up for an event?
Ā 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 š 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!Ā 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 āCoursesā since they are indeed different here at Paint It Easy. Events want to be a creative, refreshing and entertaining going-out alternative, while Workshops areĀ 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 beginnersā level.
