Painting in Hyde park (plein air) with picnic and wine

Learn to paint in London with this creative outdoor painting class and enjoy a small picnic and a refreshing glass of wine as you make your own masterpieces.

Soak up the sights and sounds of a British summer as you learn to paint in the orchard and gardens of one of the most iconic and inspirational outdoor spaces in London – Hyde Park.

Everyone is welcome, from beginner painters to more experienced art lovers. You'll be guided through the creative process by international artist and teacher, Katerina.

This London painting class will begin with Katerina giving a brief talk about outdoor painting, followed by a painting demonstration. You'll then find your own space to paint whilst Katerina circulates throughout your group, offering one-to-one support, help and guidance.You can choose to paint in the medium of your choice – oil, watercolours, pastels or another type of painting – just let your teacher know your preferred medium.Working in an intimate part of the park, you'll create a series of plein air sketches that simplify the varied and complex views around you. Distilling your subjects through mark-making and colour, you'll capture your experience of the day and create a unique set of paintings to cherish.You'll meet your teacher and fellow painters by the dolphin and a boy fountain for an initial briefing and you'll then walk to your painting location together where you'll find easels and a picnic set up for you.

Enjoy the fresh air and let your surroundings inspire you to create something wonderful.By the end of your plein air painting experience, you'll have a range of new art skills and you'll head home with a series of your own paintings, created in a medium of your choice, to keep.
