Aquarell-Workshop

In the organizer's words:

Led by architect and watercolorist Nima, this three-hour outdoor workshop invites you to discover the basics of sketching and painting on location (plein air). Based on his experience capturing urban landscapes in his sketchbooks in Germany and abroad, Nima will show you how to approach painting outdoors, simplify complex scenes and understand perspective in an urban industrial environment.

The event is open to all levels and is designed to help participants gain confidence in sketching outdoors while enjoying the process of painting and making brushstrokes. All professional materials are included in the price, so you can just drop in and get started.

Here are the learning objectives for this workshop:

• Tools and materials for outdoor painting
• Determine dimensions and proportions
• Simplify complex buildings to large shapes
• Composition and the rule of thirds
• Basics of watercolor painting outdoors
• Color mixing and watercolor techniques
• Creating exciting textures with watercolors

This workshop takes place outdoors. Please check the weather conditions and bring suitable clothing and hopefully a sun hat. Bring a folding stool or something else to sit on if you don't want to stand for three hours.

In case of heavy rain or storm, we will paint in the studio using a reference photo. The meeting point is our studio in Areal Böhler, building no. 2, where you can pick up your materials; afterwards we will go outside to our painting area.

Safety note: Participation is at your own risk. We will take appropriate measures to ensure that the event is safe and accessible.
