Understanding Your Equipment
Before you begin, our artists will show you how to set up your painting area and the best way to use your equipment.

Will I Learn Anything During the Class?
At Pinot & Picasso, we believe that painting is not only a fun activity, but it’s also a chance to learn and explore your creativity. During the class, our instructors will guide you through various techniques and methods to create a beautiful painting that you’ll be proud of. Here are some things you can expect to learn:
- Colour theory and mixing: Our instructors will show you how to mix colours to create new shades and tones, and how to use these colours effectively in your painting.
- Brush strokes and using paint: You’ll learn about different brush strokes and how to use them to create different textures and effects on your canvas.
- Use your creative freedom: While we’ll provide guidance and advice throughout the class, we also encourage you to use your own creativity and take the painting in the direction that you want it to go.
Our Top Painting Tips
Here are some tips from our experienced instructors to help you get the most out of your paint and sip class:
