In autumn we especially long for warmth and coziness — to hold a hot cup in our hands, wrap ourselves in a blanket, and allow life to slow down. Our watercolor course will become such a warm ritual: we will create atmospheric illustrations — figs with delicate transitions, a jar of apple jam, fragrant pastries, and an autumn Paris landscape.
Each class is not just about technique but a small journey into the world of watercolor shades, where you can relax, switch off, and preserve the mood of autumn on paper.

The watercolor course will provide all the essential knowledge about paints, techniques, and effects. You will learn how to combine watercolor with other methods, and from the very first lessons, you will be able to create your own unique works. Each class is dedicated to a specific theme, making it easier to find your own style and direction for further development.
