Interactive online and in-person, friendly art sessions for beginners, improvers and corporate groups - and art retreats in Devon, Portugal and Italy!
Welcome to Art Splash London
We’re Susi Hoyle and Francine Lawrence and we launched Art•Splash in 2014 to teach people who think they can’t draw - to draw and paint!
Since that first step, we have successfully taught hundreds of people to draw. We teach friendly art classes, workshops, short courses and corporate sessions – both in-person and online.
We also host residential courses in Devon, Spain, Portugal and Italy.
Art•Splash drawing and painting sessions are for EVERYONE.

Our Art Classes and Corporate Workshops
Learn to Paint with Acrylics
So many people surprised themselves by enjoying painting their first acrylic artwork at the January session, we are running once-a-month classes by popular request! All levels welcome including beginners.
If you live in London join us at our monthly Saturday in-person painting workshops in Willesden Green Studios, NW10 (Jubilee Line)
We are suspending the workshops during the summer but will begin again the autumn. Our next workshop will be September 2026
Corporate Art Sessions
Bond your team together with an art class. Our creative sessions provide a mindful break from the computer screen and allow colleagues to get to know a different side of their co-workers.
We have successfully taught in-house and online sessions for many high-profile clients including: Google UK, Orange Brand Services, Astra Zeneca, Marriott Hotel Group, Publicis London, The Brilliant Group, This Place, DLAPiper LLP, Julius Baer UK, Callison RTKL and Joseph Ltd.
Watercolour Classes
Watercolour is a wonderful, versatile medium, but can be frustrating if you don’t know the three essential techniques.
Join one of our classes to learn the basic principles of applying water-based paint, and how you to create vibrant and dynamic watercolour paintings.
No more wishy-washy!
Francine will be teaching a new class for Absolute Beginners in Cricklewood, London September 2026.
Join us in Devon this summer!

All accomodation and three absolutely delicious meals are provided each day, with many of the ingredients grown in the vegetable garden, plus fresh eggs from the hens. The individual bedrooms are simple and comfortable with shared(but plentiful!) bathrooms*.
