CREATE YOUR OWN UNIQUE PIECE OF ART IN A REAL ARTIST’S STUDIO

If you think that getting involved in modern art means endless hours of roaming through the elitist halls of faceless  art galleries then think again… I’m bringing the excitement and expression of the artist out from the canvas and into your hands. Now you don’t have to be a spectator anymore—now you can do this for real.

ONE DAY PAINTING EXPERIENCES WITH ME ARE AVAILABLE NOW

Learn to paint abstract and modern art with Swarez

GO WILD, GO MAD, THROW PAINT, HAVE FUN

You CAN do this. You can actually create your own art with the colours and shapes that you really want—I’ll show you how. And unlike many other ‘experiences’ you can buy this one has something to show for it at the end—your own piece of art, delivered by me (when it’s dry) to any UK mainland address* about a week or so later.

TREAT YOURSELF – YOU DESERVE THIS

Take yourself on an unforgettable journey—a once-in-a-lifetime experience by being a proper artist for a day. Paint in a working artist’s studio using exotic paints and tools, learn new techniques about colour and application and feel what it’s like to really go for it!

ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY

The hardest thing of all with my painting days is deciding to do it in the first place. The type of painting you will be doing is all about expressing yourself, letting go and doing something unique to you. Don’t panic—I’ll give you everything you need to produce something extraordinary. All you need is the desire to let it all go!  We can paint in almost any medium and virtually any style but most people’s favourite  is the drip art style. To learn more about what this is click A Guide to Drip Art. Abstract and Modern art genres are also available (we can pretty much do whatever we want to be honest!)

The cost includes canvas, paint, wood and other materials, food and drink and delivery a week later (when it’s dry) to any UK mainland address, by me.* To be honest, painting is not about the end result – it’s about the process of getting there….that’s the real beauty of it..it’s a day like no other…and it’s FUN, 100% FUN!

DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT – THIS IS WHAT FIRST-TIME CLIENT TRUDY KELLY SAYS…

“I asked Swarez to paint for me but he was the one who suggested I participate in painting my own. Despite being really nervous I was soon put at my ease and got stuck in. He was amazing – helping me with paints, colours, tools and things. I actually found the whole experience very emotional and massively inspiring and it was a real journey for me. Getting it delivered a week later was the icing on the cake – now I can look at it every day and think ‘I did that!’ That’s such a great feeling. I just keep wanting to touch the thing all the time – like it sucks you in. I never thought I could do this but I did. Brilliant…”

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS:

Before the big day we’ll talk about colours, sizes and shapes and cover other small details. Very painless. When the big day arrives we pretty much get stuck in straight away. You cut the canvas, choose and mix your own paints and tools then it’s paint time.

If you choose Silver or Gold packages you’ll even get professional photographs taken and even a High Def. movie made of your experiences* When your canvas dries I will hand-build a frame and then stretch and staple it together*. Delivery to your home (normally about a week later) is included in the cost**

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DAY ITSELF:

  • Arrive at the studio in the morning
  • Breakfast or Brunch
  • Get suited and booted (into your old clothes of course)
  • Cut your own canvas (up to 3m x 1.6m depending on package – see below))
  • Mix your own paints (with help from me of course)
  • Get painting (come on, start throwing it around!)
  • Break for Lunch and contemplation (always necessary)
  • More painting, throwing, spreading, dropping and mess (the messier the better)
  • Stare at your painting for as long as you want and pat yourself on the back
  • Time for photos and a long drawn out conversation on why you never discovered the joy of painting earlier in life
  • Home-time (feel free to chill as long as you want though)

STILL NOT CONVINCED?

Don’t think about what it’s going to look like or have doubts on your own ability. We will be splash, drip and throw painting so form, perspective and realism go straight through the window! I don’t do rules I just paint. It is just you, me, a big sheet of canvas and all the paint you could ever possibly want.  Oh and cake and coffee of course…

I have a large, warm carpeted studio arranged over two floors on a busy industrial park in Gloucester – easily situated a short distance from the M5 motorway (J11). Here you can paint against the walls, on the floor or even in my splash pool. There’s room to chill out and contemplate and lots of convenient parking right outside.

I have full liability insurance and provide all Personal Protection Equipment where required.

If you have ever thought what it would be like to create something like this then you need to mail me today and make that dream become a reality.
