Painting Classes London
Where Fun Meets Art
Art is in the eye of the brush-holder…and maybe in the bottom of your wine glass. Whether you’re the next Da Vinci or just here to make a splash, our social painting classes in London are all about mastering the art of fun.
In a city bursting with vibrant art and creativity, from Brick Lane’s edgy street murals to the classics hanging in the National Gallery, Pinot & Picasso is here to help you get arty while you party. Our experienced artist guides you step-by-step so you can release your inner masterpiece with zero pressure and no talent necessary.
From dreamy landscape painting to neon canvases, we’ve got a group class for every moment. Date night? In the bag. Team building? On point. Hens night? Nailed it! It’s all about pouring your art out in great company, with a drink in one hand and a brush in the other. Then, when all the fun is done, you’ll be taking your very own masterpiece home to show off.
You can even turn your painting session into an exclusive bash with a private event package. Enjoy a fully stocked bar, a pro artist instructor and total control over the playlist. Whether you’re after a custom artwork, full studio takeover or corporate event, we can tailor our package and colour in the details. From product launches to influencer meetups, our private painting classes are about making it your masterpiece.
From social art classes to private events, we want to see you in our welcoming studio. It’s all about the art of taking part!
What to Expect from Our London Painting Classes

Your group painting class comes with all the kit ready to go – brushes, acrylic paint, canvas, easel and an apron, so all you need to do is choose your favourite drink. Our friendly artist will guide you through the whole class, and you’ll get plenty of time to sip, chat and unleash your creative side. Whether your masterpiece ends up on the wall or in the work-in-progress graveyard is totally up to you!
Looking for a private art class? Splash out for a private events package with full exclusive use of the studio, all the art materials and an expert artist guide.

Mindful Painting: A Therapeutic Way to Relax
London is always on the go. Your brain? Probably also always on the go. Slowing down with creativity can have a surprisingly calming effect on our minds, and our easy painting classes are a chance to unwind, de-stress, and pour your art out.
Painting isn’t just about making something pretty; it’s about letting go. It can be healing, meditative, and downright zen. Our uplifting, step-by-step classes help you escape the chaos of daily life and find some serenity in mindful expression.
Our art classes are a stress-free zone where even absolute beginners can kick back and get lost in the joy of creating. With friendly local artists guiding you, you’ll relax, let go, and find your calm with every brushstroke!
If you really want to level up your chill, you can book a private event with us. Get the whole studio for you and your favourite people and brush away the stress.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you host private painting classes?
Yes, you can book the whole studio for yourself. A private event means full access to painting supplies, an awesome artist guide, a fully stocked bar and complete control over the playlist (yes, even if it’s exclusively 90’s boy bands). We listen, and we don’t judge.
Everyone leaves with their very own masterpiece and, we hope, a newfound love of acrylic painting! Get a quote for a private painting class within a few clicks.
I have made my booking, what’s next?
What’s next is the exciting countdown until we see you in the studio. We don’t need you to practice any painting skills, we simply want you to come relaxed and ready to have fun. So, let go of any worries and look forward to a perfect night of creativity.
For a private event, we just need your deposit up front and the remaining balance 2 weeks before the session. Thinking about custom art, decorations or drinks packages? Our consultation will draw out all the details we need so you can relax with stress-free planning.
Do you offer gift cards?
Of course we do, you generous gift-giver. A Pinot & Picasso gift card can be a unique present for Christmas, birthdays, Mother’s Day and more, allowing your loved one to enjoy a fun and peaceful painting class when it suits them. Our gift cards range from £40 to £120 and can be redeemed at any studio across the UK.
Can we leave our paintings at the studio?
As much as we’d love to turn the studio into an impromptu art gallery, space is tight. Bring a bag with you or grab one from our studio bar to protect your masterpiece on the journey home.
(For our Textured Art sessions and private events, we’ll hold onto your artwork for later pickup – just email us to arrange.)
Do I need to bring any materials?
Nope, just bring yourself and a willingness to embrace your inner Picasso. We provide quality canvases, paintbrushes, paints, an easels and an apron for every class.
What happens if I’m running late?
Life happens. We won’t lock you out! Just slide in when you get here, and our friendly instructor will help you catch up. We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes before your class begins.
