Looking for inspiring things to do in South West London this summer? Join our art course in London! Welcome to The Fauve Palette. Named after the radical early 20th-century French movement that prioritised explosive colour and pure emotion over rigid rules, this 4-week course is designed to take you from a blank canvas to a confident artist.
No experience needed! If you love the social vibe of a standard sip and paint but want to take your skills deeper, this is the ultimate upgrade. This is a premium, structured 4-week adult art course in London designed specifically for beginners who want to unlock genuine creative confidence.
What to expect:
  • Week 1: Paradise Found – A low-stress, highly tactile introduction to composition. Build a beautiful, dimensional coastal landscape using textured paper, stencils, and custom colour gradients.
  • Week 2: Fauve Leaves & Neon Tropics – Master the bold, unmixed contrasting palettes of the Fauves using canvas boards and high-saturation acrylics to paint hyper-vibrant summer botanicals and glowing tropical birds.
  • Week 3: Boutique Textile Design – Design a wearable piece of art. Choose between the symmetrical botanical patterns of William Morris or the freeform organic shapes of Henri Matisse, layering rich colour gradients on canvas tote bags.
  • Week 4: The Grand Finale (The Artist Menu) – The ultimate culmination of your series. Grab a glass of wine, consult our custom-curated Artist Menu, and select your final masterpiece blueprint—whether you want to tackle André Derain’s mosaic-style harbour or a graphic Matisse abstract layout.

Hi, I'm Georgina Derby. I'm a qualified art teacher with years of experience teaching Art lessons. I founded The Fauve Palette to bring painting into social, inspiring spaces. I personally curate and lead every workshop. We take our name from the Fauves—the early 20th-century 'wild beast' painters like Henri Matisse who broke all the rules and embraced bold, unapologetic colour to paint for the pure joy of it. We are here to help you unlock your creativity, play with colour, and enjoy a creative social experience.
Painting is a form of active mindfulness - a chance to slow down, unplug and enjoy the creative process. There are no mistakes in our studio, only happy accidents. We hope you’ll leave our sessions not just with a finished canvas, but with an inspired mind and a recharged spirit.
