Top 10 London painting workshops
The opportunity to get out and explore London’s art community is now at your fingertips! From lively public workshops to intimate private paint parties, ClassBento’s painting classes London range has something for every occasion — whether you're planning a hen party in Hammersmith, a corporate team building event in Farringdon, or a fun-filled outing with friends. Here's a look at the most popular formats you'll find across the city:
- Fluid art classes use acrylic pouring on stretched canvas — no experience needed, and every piece is uniquely stunning.
- Watercolour painting classes in Whitechapel guide you step-by-step through wet-on-wet washes and fine brushwork in a relaxed studio setting.
- Paint and sip classes in Hackney combine cocktails and canvas for a social night out that's equal parts laughter and creativity.
- London abstract painting workshops let you experiment with bold colour blocking and palette knives, ideal for team building groups wanting something different.
- Oil painting classes in London introduce blending, layering and glazing on linen canvas, with a professional artist guiding every step.
- Splatter painting London sessions in Camden are the ultimate high-energy hen party activity — expect mess, music and a piece you'll actually want to hang.
- Couples painting experiences in Westminster pair guided instruction with a glass of wine for a genuinely romantic evening.
- Kids' painting workshops offer family-friendly sessions designed to spark creative expression in children of all ages.
- Portrait classes in Battersea focus on skin tones, facial structure and expressive mark-making with soft brushes and blending mediums.
- Private paint parties for birthdays, corporate events and bachelorette groups can be arranged across Greater London, from Thames Ditton to Upminster.
Every painting workshop is led by an expert local artist — and best of all, you take your finished masterpiece home.
5 affordable painting courses in London from £25
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:
-
Paint and sip evenings from £25 include all materials: acrylic paint, stretched canvas and brushes, plus a welcome drink, making them one of the most social and affordable nights out in Hackney or Camden.
-
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.
-
Oil painting classes London from £30 represent the best value for a longer, more immersive experience, with linen canvas, oil pigments and blending mediums all included in the price.
-
Private group bookings from £28 per person significantly reduce the per-head cost for corporate team building events and birthday parties of 10 or more.
All sessions include equipment and expert tuition. Book early to secure the best rates — check individual listings for group discounts and seasonal offers.
How to choose painting classes in London for beginners
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.
From central city studios in Westminster and Bermondsey to spots further afield in Walton on the Hill, painting classes London style means no-pressure environments, friendly instructors and a canvas you'll be proud to take home.

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.
