Join me for a one-day workshop dedicated to the beautiful, fluid, and versatile medium of watercolor.

In this workshop, you will learn a variety of watercolor techniques and explore the many effects this medium can offer. We will look at the impact of different papers, experiment with various painting tools, and discover how to create washes, texture, atmosphere, and semi-abstract effects.

We will begin with small exercises to get familiar with the materials and techniques. These playful studies will allow you to explore the behavior of watercolor, from soft transitions and transparent layers to more expressive marks and textured effects.

During the second part of the day, you will apply what you have learned to create one finished painting. You can choose your own subject, such as a landscape, cityscape, still life, or another motif that inspires you.

The workshop is suitable for all levels. No previous experience is required. Whether you are completely new to watercolor or would like to explore the medium in a more expressive and semi-abstract way, you are very welcome. The only thing you need to bring is curiosity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to experiment.

All materials will be provided. If you prefer to bring your own watercolor paints, brushes, paper, or other tools, you are welcome to do so.

The workshop will be taught in English and German. Translation support may be available if needed.

Tea and snacks will be provided. For lunch, please bring your own or visit the bakery next door.

The workshop will take place in the inspiring setting of José Schurmann’s Atelier in Antwerp. The exact address will be provided upon registration.

You will leave with a finished watercolor painting and a deeper understanding of how to use watercolor with more confidence, freedom, and expression.

Limited to 5 participants to allow for individual guidance.
