Expressive colour. Bold strokes. Portraits with personality.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore the art of impressionistic portrait painting — a vibrant, intuitive approach that captures mood and essence over perfection. No stiff poses, no tiny details — just movement, emotion, and a whole lot of colour.

You’ll learn how to:

• Mix a rich, expressive colour palette
• Use bold, loose brushwork to build personality and mood
  
• Layer light, shadow and vibrancy without overworking
• Embrace spontaneity, imperfection, and creative freedom

We’ll guide you step by step, but there’s plenty of space to explore your own style and experiment as you go. Whether you’re totally new to portrait painting or just ready to loosen up, this one’s all about letting go — and watching your canvas come alive.

Beginner-friendly. Messy in the best way. And guaranteed to leave you glowing with painterly pride.

✨ How PIE Workshops Work

Think of a Paint It Easy event — but with more time, more technique, and more creative depth. Our workshops are all about learning something new and meaningful while still enjoying the relaxed, feel-good PIE vibe.

Each workshop is guided by a professional artist and focuses on a specific creative technique, style, or material. Whether you’re trying it for the first time or want to deepen existing skills, you’ll get personal guidance, hands-on support, and time to really explore the process.

Most workshops take place in our beautiful, cosy studios in Zürich or Basel — full of colour, creativity, and a welcoming atmosphere. From time to time, we also host them at inspiring partner venues or outdoors in the sunny season.

No stress, no pressure — just a great setting to experiment, learn something new, and create something truly yours.

We provide everything you need:

• A warm and friendly learning environment
• All necessary materials and tools
• A mix of demonstration & individual guidance
• Artistic freedom — everyone interprets the technique their own way

Whether you’re a motivated beginner or a curious creative, this is the space to dive deeper, discover new methods, and leave with a skill that sticks.
