Getting creative doesn't have to break the bank. ClassBento’s painting classes London range starts from just £x per person, with formats to suit every budget:

-
Watercolour workshops from £26 in Lambeth provide paper, pigment pans and a full brush set, so you arrive empty-handed and leave with a completed piece and a brand-new skill.
-
Splatter painting London sessions from £59 are the most budget-friendly group option – no specialist materials needed, just overalls, enthusiasm and a willingness to make a glorious mess.

Did you know that our selection of London painting classes caters to all abilities? Whether the last time you picked up a brush was to paint the bathroom or you've got an inner artist waiting to be let out, here’s how to choose the right class for you:
- What style interests you most? Watercolour classes London offer a gentle, forgiving introduction to colour and composition, while London abstract painting sessions are perfect if you want to experiment freely without rules or pressure.
- What's your occasion? Couples and solo explorers tend to love the calm pace of oil painting classes in Bermondsey, while birthday parties and hen groups gravitate toward the high-energy fun of paint and sip classes in Hackney.
- How much guidance do you want? Splatter painting London sessions are entirely freeform and require zero prior skill, whereas structured watercolour workshops in Whitechapel follow step-by-step instruction from a local artist at every stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
I've never painted before. Are London painting classes for me?
Absolutely! Our classes are designed for everyone, especially absolute beginners. Most of our guests have little to no experience. The focus is on having fun in a relaxed, non-judgemental environment. Our friendly instructors provide step-by-step guidance to help you create a masterpiece you'll be proud to take home.
What can I expect during a typical painting class in London?
Typically, you'll be welcomed to your own painting station, fully equipped with a canvas, easel, brushes, and paints. A professional artist will guide you through the featured painting with easy-to-follow instructions. The atmosphere is relaxed and social, with music and time to chat and have a drink. At the end, your artwork is yours to keep.
What is included in the price? Do I need to bring anything?
The price includes everything you need: your canvas, paints, brushes, easel, and an apron to protect your clothes. You just need to bring yourself! For specific details on drinks and snacks, please check the information for your chosen class, as policies can vary.
What should I wear to a painting class in London?
We recommend wearing something comfortable that you wouldn't mind getting a little paint on. While most of our London painting classes provide aprons, it's always best to play it safe and avoid wearing your favourite outfit.
Can I bring my own food and drinks/BYOB to a painting class?
This depends on the specific class and venue. Many of our sip and paint events are held at locations with a bar where you can purchase drinks. Some workshops are designated as 'BYOB' (Bring Your Own Bottle), which will be clearly stated in the event description. Please check the details on the specific class booking page for precise information.
What different types of London painting classes do you offer?
We offer a wide variety of experiences, including classic watercolour and oil painting, trendy fluid art, and lively sip and paint nights. We also host themed events, from 'paint your pet' to sessions inspired by famous artists like Van Gogh.
Do you offer private parties, hen dos, or corporate events?
Yes, our teachers love hosting private events! Our classes are a fantastic and memorable option for hen parties, birthdays, and corporate team-building days. It's a fun, interactive activity that everyone can enjoy, regardless of their artistic ability.
Where are your London painting studios located?
Our classes are held in various vibrant and accessible locations across London, including areas like Shoreditch, Battersea, and Westminster. The specific address for your class will be provided in your booking confirmation email.
