Learn to sketch and paint with watercolour outside by direct observation. Do you struggle with perspective and creating depth in your drawing and painting? Then this workshop is the perfect chance to learn the basics of one-point perspective by sketching directly outside in the green heart of Dusseldorf. Join us for a 2 hours painting workshop where you learn to see shapes, angles and perspective in front of you and then bring them onto your paper using free and loose watercolour brush strokes. I will show you step by step with easy instructions to follow.

Here are the learning targets from this workshop:

This is an outdoor workshop organised in Hofgarten. Make sure you check the weather conditions one day before the workshop to have suitable clothing and sun protection. A foldable stool is also handy or a small blanket to sit outside comfortably. The workshop is in English but I also speak German, Farsi and Turkish directly with you if you prefer.
