Ahoy, young artists! Ready to break the rules of colour? In this exciting painting workshop, kids will take inspiration from the pioneering Fauvist artist André Derain and his famous colourful masterpiece, The Port of Collioure.
Artists will learn how to use wild, unblended colours, such as fiery reds, electric oranges, bright turquoise, and sunny yellows, to bring a bustling Mediterranean harbour to life on canvas board. This class is all about expressive brush marks to create shimmering sunlight.
Designed for beginners and budding young artists alike, this small-group course is limited to just 10 children, ensuring plenty of individual guidance and support throughout. Hosted by an experienced art teacher.

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.
