Watercolors are an accessible and rewarding painting technique, that you can easily set-up at home without creating a mess. But as with most art making techniques, where to get started?

This workshop is a playful, and fun approach to watercolor painting, where we’ll explore this versatile medium through a variety of different experiments and techniques. We’ll also work towards a final piece for which you can bring an image that you like. But plenty of ideas will be provided as part of the workshop as well.

In this 2.5 hour workshop we’ll cover:

  • Traditional techniques: wet on wet, dry on dry, textures, glazes and more.
  • Color gradients: How to work the paint and water to create those beautiful color gradations.
  • Fun! Play and explore watercolors with stamping, stencils, salt, drippings, splashes and straws.
  • For on your wall: Besides a variety of different watercolor experiments, you’ll go home with a finished watercolor painting to hang at home or give as a gift.
