With Diane Hill

Fallen in love with those dreamy, hand-painted wallpapers but don’t know where to begin?

Fallen in love with those dreamy, hand-painted wallpapers but don’t know where to begin?

I'll take you from inspiration to finished painting, you’ll walk away with the confidence to create more magical chinoiserie art, and the vision to build the creative life you’ve been dreaming of.

Hold up...what is chinoiserie!?

It's a decorative style inspired by Chinese art with dreamy scenes of birds, flowers and trees. The kind you’d notice in Bridgerton if you weren’t otherwise distracted!

Although highly sought after, its techniques are rarely taught - master it, and you’ll have a rare skill that stands out!

What you'll learn each day:

Lesson 1 - Discover chinoiserie & design a composition

You’ll dive into the fascinating history of chinoiserie and learn the foundational sketching techniques that bring this timeless style to life - including how to design your very first floral composition with ease and confidence.

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the tradition behind the art, and a beautifully balanced chinoiserie sketch ready to paint in lesson two.

Lesson 2 - Bring your design to life with paint

You’ll learn the essential painting techniques that make chinoiserie so magical, from layering and blending to achieving brushwork with a soft, luxurious finish.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll know exactly how to transform your sketches into fully realised paintings, with the same methods I use as a trained chinoiserie artist.

Lesson 3 - Turning your designs into murals, wallpaper, and products

You'll get insider guidance on how to start offering your work as a service - including how to price bespoke art, structure client projects, create invoices, and avoid the common mistakes no one tells you about.

You’ll come away with a vision board, a clear plan, and a creative path to keep growing, whether you want to paint for joy or build a thriving chinoiserie business.

Live Q&A with Diane + prize giveaways

You’ll get clear, honest answers to your burning questions, from practical tips and common challenges, to behind-the-scenes insights you won’t find anywhere else.

By the end of the session, you’ll walk away feeling informed, inspired, and maybe even a winner!

Learning this rare style could change everything

You’ll paint a beautiful chinoiserie piece and learn how to create murals, wallpaper, and more - with the exact materials and methods I used as a trained chinoiserie artist.

From sketch to finished painting, and from vision board to walls - this is your gateway into a timeless, sought-after art form that few people know how to master.

And you’ll walk away with:

• The core skills to sketch, paint, and design stunning chinoiserie pieces with elegance and flow.

• Practical techniques you can apply to murals, wallpapers, and bespoke artwork.

• Clarity, confidence, and inspiration to create more art - and begin your own chinoiserie journey.

During the workshop you'll learn to...

Confidently sketch a chinoiserie composition with balance and harmony.

Create a dreamy colour palette that reflects your personal style and vision.

Paint a soft, elegant background wash as the basis for your artwork.

Use traditional brush techniques to paint chinoiserie leaves and flowers.

Build a vision board that maps out your next big project.
