Paint Your Own Canvas in Vallauris: 2-Hour Studio Class

Two hours to make something you'll want to keep

A two-hour private painting class at Arti Studio in Vallauris where you choose your subject and medium, follow step-by-step instruction from a professional artist, and leave with a finished, signed canvas. All paints, brushes, canvas or paper, easel and apron are included, plus coffee, tea and bottled water. No experience needed. The studio is beginner-friendly and wheelchair accessible.

The experience

Two hours is enough time to move from blank canvas to something frame-worthy. You pick your subject (a landscape, a portrait, an abstract idea), and your medium: acrylic, watercolor, or mixed-media. A professional artist guides you through each step, brushstroke by brushstroke, in a street-front studio with white glass-pane doors that let in natural light. The pace is yours. There's no pressure to match anyone else's speed or style.

Everything you need is there: paints, brushes, a 30×40 cm canvas or quality art paper, an easel, an apron. Coffee, tea and bottled water are on hand. You can bring friends or family, or come alone. The studio is wheelchair accessible, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough that children and solo creatives work side by side. Arrive five minutes early and dress for paint. By the time you leave, you'll have a signed piece you actually want to hang.

What’s included

• All paints, brushes, canvas (30×40 cm) or quality art paper, easel and apron.
• coffee, tea and bottled water.
• step-by-step guidance from a professional artist.

Is this one for you?The two-hour window fits a morning or afternoon slot without eating your whole day, so you can paint and still explore Vallauris or the Riviera around it. If you want a longer, deeper dive into technique, a single session won't give you that, but for a hands-on creative break with a finished piece at the end, the timeframe is built for it.
