What you'll do

Secrets of Papier-collé Painting

I created this fun Acrylic with Paper Class by the world-famous artist Pablo Picasso and his friends. An unusual papier-collé technique, developed around 1912, became a bold new way to create art by combining paper, paint, and everyday materials. It opened up a world of possibilities for people who wanted to make art but didn’t have traditional drawing skills. That same idea feels especially relevant to San Francisco's creative people today.

Layering for Beginners

Discover the fun of layering paint, paper, pressed flowers, and mosaic into one vibrant piece of art. This beginner-friendly workshop is all about experimenting so you can craft a stunning masterpiece that reflects your preferences and feelings.

Paint and Sip Class in San Francisco

There are no rules, just plenty of inspiration. We'll guide you step by step, and you'll leave with a one-of-a-kind artwork while you drink a glass of wine or another beverage.

Take Home Your Own Original Artwork

By the end of the class, you’ll have your own original artwork to take home and proudly display. Create a statement piece and make something that adds a unique artistic touch to your interior.

If you’re looking for creative or romantic date-night ideas in San Francisco, we can suggest our Mixed Media Painting Class.

At Alive Space, we may have other classes happening at the same time, so you might see other students creating different types of artwork alongside you. It’s part of the studio's lively, creative atmosphere.

IMPORTANT:

We treat our guests to a complimentary glass of wine or another beverage, along with some light snacks.
BYOB is welcome and appreciated. We also offer cups/glasses.
Participants must be 21 (show ID to get alcohol).

Recent reviews of Acrylic with Paper by French Art – Paint and Sip Class

5/5 from Ionika, attended Sep 2026: This was the last day of our trip! We really enjoyed learning something new in a foreign country. Thank you for the pleasure. Unusual painting!
5/5 from Inara, attended Sep 2026: It was a great class! I really enjoyed the instructor’s approach and everyone's engagement. Highly recommend!
5/5 from Egor Vanin, attended Sep 2026: It's wonderful, but I need more time! My friends bought me the ticket, and because I'm a serious person, I wasn't sure what to expect. But the process interested me. I forgot to stop and ran out of time. I think the teacher should either give me more time or move things along faster. The artwork turned out well, but I believe this lovely method should have more time. I think it would have been better if I had worked longer than two hours. Maybe pay more? But the teacher paid attention and did a great job of explaining everything. I might buy another class or try it at home.
5/5 from Lisen Ok, attended Aug 2026: I hate AI, so I wanted to paint something that clearly looks handmade. I’m going to hang it at home. I got to relax, have fun, and really enjoy the experience.
5/5 from Lin Bo, attended Aug 2026: Super cool technique! I’ve done painting workshops before and love drawing, but this place was special. The downtown studio is so cozy, and the vibe was super fun. Afterward, we walked around downtown and they even gave us bags for our artwork. Such a thoughtful touch! The instructors are super chill, and everything is top notch. Highly recommend for a date night!
5/5 from Ingrid Kolpi, attended Aug 2026: It was really interesting to try Chigiri-e, a Japanese paper art technique, in a mixed-media class. For me, it's a huge step into painting because I can't draw. I'm very happy with what I made, and everyone else's work I saw came out amazing too. The teacher is simply talented at making sure everyone succeeds.
5/5 from Lev Oborin, attended Aug 2026: This was a fun, vibrant, educative class. I haven't heard of the application technique we were offered to follow, and I found it very entertaining—very good for dexterity and for understanding how colors and materials work, too! I'd be happy to return to Lena's studio for another class. My children liked my work and are interested in trying this technique originating in Japan!
5/5 from Sebastian K, attended Aug 2026: I had such a positive experience with this class. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and enjoyable the whole experience was. The class gave me a chance to unwind, try something new, and leave with a real sense of satisfaction. I enjoyed it so much that I’d love to make classes like this part of my regular routine. I would absolutely recommend both the instructor and the class to anyone looking for a fun, low-pressure creative and learning experience.
5/5 from Olga Vinogradova, attended Aug 2026: This was my first-ever art workshop, so I had no idea what to expect, and I absolutely loved it! I have no painting experience at all, and I honestly couldn’t believe that I was able to create something I’m so happy with. The instructor is wonderful. She creates such a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and gives you just the right amount of guidance without taking over. You feel supported, but still completely free to experiment and make the piece your own. I’m genuinely amazed by how well my painting turned out! I’ll definitely be back for another workshop. The studio itself is also beautiful and inspiring — the kind of space you just want to spend time in. Thank you!!
5/5 from Darya K, attended Aug 2026: The class was great. I am not an ‘art person, ’ so I was a bit worried that I would feel self-conscious and that the process of making art would be too stressful for me. Instead, it was fun and relaxing, and I came away feeling both rested and accomplished. It made me want to take classes like this on a regular basis. I highly recommend the class and the teacher!
